Now I know what you’re thinking “Boo Hoo Gabby, suck it up and just start sleeping less!”
But seriously - I am starting to get overwhelmed with the amount of requests for new projects I have been receiving lately. It’s nice to know that people are willing to pay for quality work now - there’s been [...]

Something Doesn’t Quite Fit

Since I have been working for The Oil Company I have been doing a bit of research into the claims made by many of the activists calling for the shut down of the Alberta Oil sands (or Tar Sands as they like to call it, even though there is not one drop of tar up [...]

Should I be Beating Myself up Over This?

So as you know from previous posts I have recently been contracted out by The Oil Company (name changed obviously!), one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies.

Google - Sleeping with the Beast

Now - don’t get me wrong - I love Google, but I read a rather disturbing article today on Micheal Gray’s blog.
Apparently Google just invested over 3.9 million dollars in a new company that can genetically decode your DNA for you. Creepy.
I’m all for personalized search and all that but this might be taking it [...]
