Hi! I'm Andy. I do stuff on the web, co-organize the Toronto WordPress Group, and work on a big gaming site called GTANet. This blog is my home on the web, where I'm sharing ideas, links, and other neat things. More info here!
January 18, 2012 - SOPA & PIPA are two pieces of American legislation that would have a negative impact on the freedom that the Internet provides. If you think you’re unaffected because you’re not a US citizen, think again. This isn’t an American issue – it’s a global issue.
January 13, 2012 - I’ll be back at CSI Annex this weekend to help out with the Intro to WordPress workshop from Ladies Learning Code. The all-day workshop is being led by the fabulous Wes Bos. He did a wonderful job leading the last WordPress workshop from LLC, and I look forward to seeing what improvements he’s made for round two. 
January 13, 2012 - The new version of WPToronto.com is up and running! Through 2012, we want to build a comprehensive resource for all things WordPress in Toronto. This is our first step.
January 10, 2012 - WordPress.org has joined the fight against PIPA and SOPA, two dangerous pieces of American legislation that could have serious ramifications for the Internet as a whole.
January 9, 2012 - If you’re a member of the Toronto WordPress Group, you may have recently gotten an alert from Meetup.com about a new group called Toronto WordPress Developers. Toronto WordPress Developers is being led by Al Davis. I’m helping out, along with Craig Taylor.
January 3, 2012 - One of my favourite videos from the TED series is Simon Sinek’s presentation on how great leaders inspire action. In a nutshell, great leaders start with why they’re doing something before moving on to how they’re doing it, and they end with what they’re doing.
December 31, 2011 - Here we are, at the end of another year. It’s been a crazy one. Lots of ups, lots of downs. On a personal level, 2011 has been a year of discovery and growth. I visited Los Angeles for the first time, started a gym routine, and moved to a nicer part of the city. In the fall, I helped organize WordCamp Toronto, mentored at a Ladies Learning Code workshop, and retired from freelance web development.
December 25, 2011 - Looks like Heat Miser and Snow Miser came to an agreement. It’s freezing cold outside, but there ain’t much snow…! Merry Christmas, everyone!
December 24, 2011 - The Red Dead Redemption forums have been restored, albeit in a slightly crippled state. We ran into some major problems during the migration from MyBB to SimpleMachines, but it’s better than nothing. As mentioned in a previous blog post, I’ve resigned from my position as RedDead.net’s webmaster. Kryten, the most active administrator on RDN, has taken over the site. I’ll still be kicking around in a pseudo-support capacity.
December 22, 2011 - Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas? Why one or the other? Why not both? I never understood why this non-issue became such a point of controversy. Both phrases – along with Seasons Greetings, et al. – are completely acceptable. You can use all of them without diminishing the value of any other phrase.
