When I was 10 years old my family moved to Cornwall Ontario. It was a big adjustment for me moving to a city where I didn’t know anyone. My dad knew I loved watching hockey and he wanted me make new friends as well as learn how to skate. So to kill two birds with one stone, he enrolled me in the local hockey association’s house league. Read More…

Remember a few weeks ago when I tried my hand at making deep-dish Chicago style stuffed pizza? That was a fantastically delicious experiment. However, it definitely did not go as planned.
I don’t cook much, and I’ve never baked anything, so the idea of making pizza from scratch was a little bit daunting and a little bit exciting. The only tricky part seemed to be making the dough. I wasn’t worried about making the sauce or finding the right ingredients. So before I embarked on my pizza making journey, I did some research. Read More…

Nobody ever said parenthood was easy. Just like everything else in life, there are ups and downs to raising children, and if you’re lucky the former outweighs the latter.
Along the road that is child rearing there are certain childhood milestones one may encounter. Your child’s first words, first solid foods, and of course first steps. There’s also a flip side to that, in your child’s first tantrum or first scraped knee.
Either way, these childhood milestones are something to be remembered, with laugh or sorrow, as stories of who they were at that time of their life.

Today’s story begins on the morning of April 13, 2015. I’m currently sitting comfortably at 45,000 feet above the earth as a highly trained Southwest Airlines pilot takes me from Oklahoma City to Las Vegas.
My day began when my alarm went off at 5:30am. For a guy that normally stays up until after midnight and sets the alarm for 7:45am, hearing that alarm this morning was not a welcomed sound. On top of that, it was raining. It was a nice steady rain, almost the kind that makes you want to stay in bed all day and just enjoy the dulcet sounds of raindrops meeting rooftop. If not for the occasional but steady clap of thunder and flash of lightning, the rain would have been perfect. Read More…

As you’ll recall, Golden Spiral Media had three shows nominated for awards this year. Arrow Squad, The Blacklist Exposed, and of course this show, Stuff I Learned Yesterday. Now I wont keep you in suspense, we didn’t take home any hardware at this year’s presentation. It would have been nice for GSM to win in at least one of the three categories but, as the old saying goes, them’s the breaks. Read More…

Today we look back at the first episode of Stuff I Learned Yesterday to an episode titled, The Contagious Smile of the Garbage Whistler. I want to tell you a lesson I learned, or relearned as this case may be, while I was recently in Las Vegas for New Media Expo 2014. I’ve gone to New Media Expo the last three years, the first year I attended it was still called Blogworld. I’ve always found it to be a great use of my time. It’s a time that I get to meet and share ideas with other people like me; other podcasters, online content creators, and those who aspire to share their message with the world. Read More…
