I have a confession: I've been cheating on my Moleskine and Ultra Fine Point Sharpie with Field Notes and Emoi pen. Call it a quarter-life crisis, but I need a change.

yellow things.


In the 60's and 70's seedy recording companies offered people the opportunity to have their poetry sung and recorded by a musician for a small cost. I Like Yellow Things was produced in the late 1970's and is a sweet little example of this type of American poetry song.

bedside zero zero one.


The Scientific Adventures of Baron Münchausen by Hugo Gernsback with Afterword by Burlington, Ontario's Robert Godwin. This novel was first serialized from May 1915 until February 1917 in the author's pop technology magazine, The Electrical Experimenter. Without being dry the piece reads as a series of scientific lectures with sparse dialogue and narrative bridges. Gernback achieves a sort of trustworthy absurdism that leads the mind to a rational yet whimsical place in the spirit of Amazing Stories.

This edition was released in 2010 by Apogee Books Science Fiction with financial support from the Canadian Government.
