The 2003 Power Blackout Explained
Ex Machina: Volume 6 – Power Down This series is absolutely incredible. I read the first five volumes a while back and decided to binge read the next five, since they were sitting on the library shelf practically begging me to. The story revolves around a former super-hero. He has the ability to communicate with…

Fan Expo Toronto is a huge comic book, science fiction, gaming, anime, and horror convention that happens every year. This year was special because the Women of Doctor Who were featured guests at the function. I took my kids and we all dressed up as characters from the TV show. I cosplayed the 9th Doctor…

Daredevil Secrets from Fan Expo Toronto
I love going to FanExpo in Toronto every year. It’s pretty much the last event of the summer and is always a great way to wrap up the season. I was really hoping to find a Daredevil baseball cap this year. I’ve wanted a DD hat for my collection for years. I was very happy…

Latest Graphic Novel Reads
The Amazing Spider-Man: Matters of Life and Death I haven’t been reading Spider-Man comics in the correct order.

In this story, Spider-Man…

Kitchener Aud Skatepark
This skatepark is known affectionately as The Aud. Located outside of The Kitchener Auditorium, it is a nice place for both the experienced skateboarder and the novice. Here is a double-layered box, some grind rails and ledges, and a double camel hump. It’s a little hard to see the contour of it in this photo, but it…

Lions Lake Trail Run
I collect trails. I am always on the lookout for a new spot to explore. My latest adventure was at Lions Lake Trail in Floradale, Ontario. The parking lot brings you right to the shore and the Woolwich Dam. The trail is only a few hundred meters further down. It cuts through a Maple Syrup Farm.…
