Apparently, if you can string together four words, and you happen to be peripherally within the scope of the news flavour of the week, you can get yer mug splashed across the media of your choice.

Here are the links to my interviews in the Globe and Mail (and the follow up discussion forum), on CTV National News, and on CBC Radio One (it's the third audio clip).

You can read all the posts related to my Facebook fast, and feel free to leave comments of encouragement or mockery.

Make yourself at home and poke around: I write about popular culture, finances, science and technology, arts, music and literature, health and nutrition, education and philosophy, family relationships and religious traditions, and occasionally indulge in poetry, purple prose, and persuasive rants and how to articles.

Settle in. Stay a while. Pass along your comments, questions and ideas.

And if you're a regular visitor... hey Mom, I'm in the Globe and Mail!

First, I'm trying lots of new self-improvement stuff. Second, I'm saying "yes" to things I used to dismiss. Third, I'm impulsive, and stubborn.

And a cute girl told me to.

I've sent out an invitation to many of my trusted friends and colleagues to beta test, and if you're interested in becoming a beta tester, drop me an email and I'll tell you how.

My main complaint is that it takes a lot of prep to cook vegetables, and a lot of planning in terms of all the stuff you have to buy.

But I say that the same way that any addict says they love their fix. Eating meat is as much habitual as it is nutritional, and I'm taking an overdue look at my eating habits.
