The Gate Thief
The Gate Thief by Orson Scott Card This was sitting on the new arrival shelf at the public library. I picked it up because I have always enjoyed Orson Scott Card’s work. I love his work in the genre of science fiction and the medium of comics and I did read one of his urban…

Who Stole My Style . . . I mean, Stile
I don’t get out to Grimsby very often. But when I do, the Niagara Escarpment calls out to me. There is just something about running up Hamilton Mountain and doing so through a network of trails. It is challenging and beautiful. I love it. This is a trail map of the route I usually take.…

The Word is Bond Rap Radio Hour is now on the air. We rebranded the podcast and wanted to start off big. We have a new scratching introduction by DJ Inform. Much props on that, sir! We also have an exclusive theme song as our backdrop, done by Hexsagon. We also have a big competition…

Gareth Malone and The Power of Choir
The first time I saw Gareth Malone on television I was completely blown away. He has inspired so many people to come together and sing. And for several years he has done it in front of television cameras. When I saw that he had also published a book on the experience, I knew I had…

Jinn Warriors – The Devil’s War
Jinn Warriors: The Devil’s War by Marwan El Nashar I met the author of this book at the public library and he gave me a free copy of it. It’s kind of cool connecting with self published authors. It is set in Jannahim, the Spirit Realm that exists parallel to the Earthly Realm. There are…

Please Help Me Find This Book – Band Fundamentals in Easy Steps
I hope you can help me out here. I am looking for a book that is out-of-print and very hard to find. It’s an excellent resource that I want to use next year in my teaching practice. Band Fundamentals in Easy Steps: A Method for Beginning Class or Individual Instruction by Maurice D. Taylor I…

Daredevil Reboots
Daredevil Season One by Anthony Johnston and Wellington Alves I don’t know why comic book creators feel the need to constantly recreate origin stories. It’s been done for Daredevil several times and much better than this latest title as well. Daredevil # 1 – 1964 by Stan Lee and Bill Everett That being said, I…
