The True Meaning of #91 Numbers are powerful, they have meaning beyond their numerical value. Three is considered holy, thirteen is considered unlucky. Ninety-one… ninety-one is ruthless, hard-working, and it won’t take stick from nobody. As always, all legends need an origin story, and the story of #91 is Dennis Rodman. Rodman […]

“You are talking about the destruction of new media as we know it.” – TotalHalibut, a popular YouTube user. ‘TotalHalibut’, a.k.a, John Bain, is one of many Youtubers who have voiced fierce opposition to the U.S. SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) bills, that are currently raising hell across the Internet. It was […]
After being horrified by stories about student unions censoring what student publications can print, I set up an investigation. You can find it on Help Me Investigate. For those that have never heard of HMI before read their “about” section. Due to the vast numbers of universities in the UK, I figured it would take […]

Earlier today, the motoring journalist Mark Hales was found by a court to be liable for the damage done to the engine of a Porsche 917 he was driving for a magazine feature. I know not enough of the case to enter the specifics, but the key question was this: Did the engine blow because […]
A few years ago I attended an established New York Times freelance journalist’s workshop in which he referred to freelancing as a “thankless career choice.” I left that workshop convinced that freelance writing was the best way to become the cliched “starving writer” that always has something “in the works.” Today, I get a lot […]
