The Road So Far
A CLOWN ON FIRE I flipped this shack, and I didn’t have to mortgage my daughter [who recently expressed her desire to cut my eyes...]. I like the new look; it feels… homey. I paced around my neighbourhood, clutching on my laptop, running after passersby, showing them the new template and the new graphics with … Continue reading
Writing the Internet™
You have to describe (and live) the difficult choices. You have to figure out who you will disappoint or offend. Most of all, you have to be clear about what’s important and what you won’t or can’t do. —Seth Godin, Your manifesto, your culture Bloggers, the internet is ours. That moment you’re sitting in front … Continue reading
Deconstructing Fear
Venture Communications CEO Arlene Dickinson wakes up with a healthy dose of hope and a hint of fear. A leading Canadian business figure, Arlene uses fear as motivation. I have tremendous respect for this woman, at least, her public persona: Arlene leads with integrity and heart, actively supports charities, and seems like a genuinely decent human being. … Continue reading
The Ever So Watchful Eyes of WordPress
Eight months ago, Le Clown met with alumni bloggers Sara, Madame Weebles, Roller Giraffe and Jen Tonic, and created The Outlier Collective.

Bring David Dixon the Freshly Pressed Nod
Two weeks ago, Maggie from Someone Fat Happened wrote me this email: Le Clown, how do we get David Dixon Freshly Pressed? I didn’t have the answer. The next best thing to do was to ask our story wranglers the same question: Michelle and Cheri, how do we get Bring Me the Head of David … Continue reading
Haiku Sunday – Le Gran Finale
It all began with Rainbow Farting Unicorns. Then it digressed to bad haircuts, Adamantium wielding Wolverines, and Light Sword slashing Jedis. Le Clown’s Magnificence™ controls lightning. His vampire powers reflect a life in Roman Times Even though he chooses to emulate Jesus. We learned never to feed him after midnight, And that Gamma Rays are … Continue reading
