Been quiet for a little bit...
Jun. 4th, 2010 06:02 pm...juggling a number of things including an early end of contract on the day-job. Just too darned efficient for our own good these days, apparently, and that's all I'm going to say on that topic for now.
Other items of interest?
Jim Henshaw proposes an alternative strategy for protestors interested in making things inconvenient for the G8/G20 crowd. It has a potential amusement value for this audience member, so long as the property damage and financial costs remain low.
Denis McGrath suggests that things might actually getting better in terms of getting more CanCon drama and comedy on our private networks' TV screens. I'd suggest keeping their corporate feet to the fire a little while, just so they don't backslide on this stuff. We can't let them keep on dropping opportunities in the way they did with FlashForward and Bones. Both of those started as novels written by our neighbours.
(Yes, I know Kathy Reichs does the regular cross-border hop in both directions, mainly because her day-job forensic archeology expertise is somewhat rare in the world right now.)
In case anyone's wondering if Ottawa's an animation skills hub, the answer's still "yes". Some of our talent even generates a bit of controversy on occasion, judging by the recent Looney Tunes flap. I'm hoping to get a look at Miss Bortuski's work to judge for myself and get back to you.
