by Artemisnorth | Mar 23, 2019 | Life

I’d like to thank @thekittygirl for nominating me for the #myfirstkiss rabbit hole, I mean challenge. When I was 12 years old I was invincible. Really! I wouldn’t exaggerate. I had the world by the tail and I knew EVERYTHING. The autumn of 1979 was...

by Artemisnorth | Oct 24, 2018 | uLog

Today marks my Two Year Steemiversary. So much life has whizzed by and to be honest, it seems like a lifetime. When I first started here I had no idea about the Discord Multi-verse or that a witness wasn’t “watching” the birth of crypto. @shadowspub...

Hey all! Check this out. Discord in a box? No…I finally hung my 2nd monitor on the back of my desk. I love it! I was working in my armchair with T.V. tables around me and to be honest… it sucked. Now I’m sitting at my desk, looking out over the city...

by Artemisnorth | Oct 17, 2018 | Life, uLog

Well, it’s official, recreational cannabis is now legal here in Canada. I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. To be honest I’ve been dreading this day in some ways. Once the government sticks their noses into something you know it’s going to...

by Artemisnorth | Oct 3, 2018 | Life, uLog

I guess you could say I took my Hardfork Holiday to its limits considering everything was back to normal Sunday evening and it’s now Wednesday morning. As many of you know I traveled back home to see @shadowspub. Honestly, for us, the Hardfork couldn’t...

uLog #44 – Revisiting The Scene Of The “Crimes”

by Artemisnorth | Sep 24, 2018 | Life, uLog

@shadowspub and I did something we haven’t done in YEARS! We grabbed some take-out in Cobourg and ate at the harbour. Years ago we would take the kids, who always fed the seagulls, attracting great clouds of them, until one day I said, “Um, you realize...

This is where I’m working today, under those trees in the shade with the cooling wind off the lake blowing through my hair. I had planned on working. I had my laptop on a little table all set up to catch @enginewitty’s show Words With Witty. I was...
