This morning I launched Bipolar Lives, a blog that discusses the broad issues and personal challenges of living with Bipolar Syndrome.
Readers of this blog will know that I was diagnosed with Bipolar I in 2006. It’s a condition I am very open about and that is a challenge (and an opportunity) that I live with. [...]

Those who saw me at the edge of the A-list (B-list? are those terms valid anymore? I am so out of touch) circle during the first wave of the blog explosion saw me flag and then fall. But where did I go? What did I do?
I left town, essentially. Mentally. I had to go down [...]
Happy Canada Day, 2007
1 Jul 2007It’s July 1, meaning that it’s time for Canadians around the world have launched into their recently re-invigorated day of jingoistic pride. Living next door to the definition of jingoistic pride has set the bar pretty high, but based on the last couple of trips north, great strides have been made since we left our [...]

Yup, right on schedule.

One toke over the line, oh Buddha…
12 Feb 2007After suffering with some negative reactions to my medications this weekend, I decided to do some research. It took a little longer than I expected because the information is gloriously hard to find, and I was drooling like an ether fiend in a wolverine pen.
It turns out that Bupropion inhibits the effectiveness of Paroxetine and [...]
Cursing the Days Lost
9 Feb 2007My wife doesn’t understand my fascination with Hunter Thompson. There are only a select few who do.
What most people don’t understand is that living with manic bipolar is living with Hunter inside your head every day. Raging. Screaming. Shooting at the peacocks while the sun rises. Spraying my optic nerve with a rogue fire extinguisher. [...]
Kathy Sierra and the Serendipity Factor
30 Jan 2007I try and avoid the “me-too” factor that has dominated the land of blogs for most of the time I have been involved in it. Simply aping one persons comments with a slight variation, or personal interpretation doesn’t add much to the initial thrill of finding the original germ of an idea.
Kathy Sierra, someone who [...]
