I’ve managed to update the Reviews, Car Comparisons and Features pages for the new content that I’ve created over the past year. Here are a few highlights: Art of Rally is a love letter to the sport, blending visual flair and authentic gameplay Canadian developer Dune Casu explains how he developed his latest game while…

Updates!

Posted on August 24, 2021August 24, 2021

It has been over a year since my last blog post, and a lot has happened since then. Lets get a quick recap? First, the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada (AJAC) awarded me the 2020 Journalist of the Year award. This is a huge honour for me, and something I couldn’t have achieved without the…

Distracted Driving and ADAS

Posted on July 23, 2020July 23, 2020

It seems like we may have reached a chicken and an egg situation when it comes to distracted driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). I’ve written about it over at autoTRADER.ca, but want to provide a few of my thoughts that wouldn’t have had a home in that article. For starters, many of my colleagues…

Published: Feature on Motion Sickness

Posted on June 30, 2020June 30, 2020

I recently wrote a feature about motion sickness. Although I’m a huge automotive enthusiast, I am pretty interested in health and how the two subjects intersect.

A Change Of Pace

Posted on April 28, 2020May 4, 2020

Kudos to the many of us who are limiting their excursions outside, and doing their best to stay productive at home. It goes without saying that there are some challenges while living during the COVID-19 necessitated quarantine. I’m not alone in missing the excursions and adventures. I’m used to travelling for work, but what I…

Welcome, welcome!

Posted on July 20, 2019May 4, 2020

In my family, saying “welcome” once isn’t enough. We say it several times, to make sure whoever is arriving knows that they’re important. And you are important because you’re here!
