I completed an Honours BA in Political Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario in 2005; more recently, I’ve finished Seneca College’s Accelerated Library and Information Technician diploma. I’m also plugging away at an MISt from the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information as a part-time student.  By day, I’m a library technician in a public sector law library.

For more information on what I’m up to, check my LinkedIn profile.

For a quick snapshot of my mental environment, you can browse my book collection (mostly political books from my undergraduate days) at LibraryThing.

Most of what you’ll find here consists of links and snippets from library, publishing, or information management-related articles I’ve encountered on the web, but some original commentary bubbles up to the surface every now and then. While I maintain this site essentially as a memory aid of sorts, I hope that others with similar personal or professional interests may find it useful.

If you live in or around Toronto and are a patron of the Toronto Public Library, you may enjoy TPL Finder. More information about this project is available in a blog post I wrote on the occasion of it’s release into the wild. I cobbled together a Google Maps mashup of TTC subway stations a while back, too.

And yes, I am looking for a better name for this blog (which is currently derived from the 2006 film Art School Confidential starring John Malkovitch, which I haven’t even seen).
