The Hello Kitty Room And Other Interesting Places I’ve Stayed
In my last post, I wrote about my experiences with homelessness. Looking back, I’ve slept in so many different places that often times, I wake up confused about my surroundings. At other times, I wake up with a smile as I rediscover where I am. Today, I’m stepping back to take a lighter look back…

Homeless On Two Continents
Two years ago, when I first went temporarily homeless willingly, it was a bittersweet pill to swallow. I had quietly left Toronto with little support, and actually, to a bit of criticism.

The Midas Effect – Make Everything You DO Turn Into Gold

Reflecting On Steve Job’s Inspirational Speech And Something For Your iPod
I’m spending some time as a guest at Stanford University right now, enjoying what the university offers and learning what I feel like without any academic pressure.
