I’m happy to announce the launch of my new Substack, which I’m calling The Flatline. I’m glad to be employed but I’m such a dork that journalism isn’t just my job, but my hobby. Got some cool stuff planned, hope you’ll subscribe. theflatline.substack.com/p/coming-soon

I can't believe how good Fallout is. Captured the tone and spirit of the games while telling a really good story and respecting the lore. So many ways this could have gone bad but they nailed it.

This is great advice - I almost always start interviews with scientists with some variation of 'pretend you're explaining this to a small child, and one who isn't particularly bright at that.'

Only got a partial view here in NYC, which was still amazing, but thrilled for all my Montreal people who got to experience something truly thrilling. Space is cool. Science is cool.

I was so tempted to write this under the alias Paul Atreides, but was told I couldn't because that's 'stupid' and 'just really, really dumb.'

Before I started my new job, I freelanced out one of the last stories I worked on for The Messenger. It's about how humans may need an unlikely partner to establish bases on the moon and Mars: earthworms. It's up now and it was a ton of fun to work on.

The earthquake was startling. The loud blaring of the earthquake alert on my phone 20 minutes later scared the bejesus out of me.

Still holding out hope someone will assign me to cover one of those metal cruises so I can write about being 7 Pina coladas deep while being slightly seasick and watching Disturbed from the pool. Aka, heaven.

'Cause the walls start shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it
And you shook me for about 20 seconds or so.

In my first big piece for Semiconductor Engineering I looked into the security challenges facing data centers, where more and more data is being centralized.

I thought this show was a fever dream, but it actually existed. RIP Joe Flaherty, who might have been American, but had definite Canadian weirdo comedy vibes.

For nearly an entire year, amanda 🐢 infiltrated the American far right, attended their events (like the Jan 6 insurrection) but also broke bread with extremists at the highest echelons of the Republican Party. She joined Isaac and I on the pod linktr.ee/theroverpodcast
