I'm a Toronto-based writer, author, painter and former journalist. Almost everything interests me. Much of my journalism has been about technology and society, but I have also written a personal finance column and many profiles of Canadian authors. My first book was a biography of a Canadian film producer, maverick and bigamist named Budge Crawley.
