Interview
What tools and software do you use to do your job?
My iPad, my laptop, my library of books, a notebook and my Pilot Dr. Grip ergonomic pen, Microsoft Word, Microsoft OneNote, and Twitter.
What's your favorite social network?
Twitter! Despite it's reputation, it's allowed me to have really great in depth conversations, cultivate relationships, and build community.
Did you work for your high school newspaper? If so, what did you do there?
I won the Toronto Star High School Newspaper Award for best paper as editor-in-chief of the Jarvis Jargon (2002), and as a columnist (2000).
What's your favorite drink?
During the day, some 3rd wave pourover coffee. Even better if it's natural processed. At night, give me a sour beer or a whiskey.
