My first few articles of the year are out. Check out a cool UC initiative, and my first front page story of the year. Okay, it was only on the front page because of the snazzy graphic, but I'm still pleased.

I'm still impressed with this year's editorial staff (check out the current "magazine" issue and make up your own mind) but it doesn't look like the archives will be back up anytime soon, so I guess my life's work will return to this site once I've had time to scan it all in from the paper archives. I guess it's about time I started maintaining my own PDFs.

I'd like to post links to everything I wrote at the Festival, but ThreeWeeks doesn't quite have their archive in order yet, so I think I'll hold off a little longer. If you're really itching for a taste, most of it was simultaneously re-posted at my less formal blog over here.

The Varsity's archives are also down right now, due to a design change. Once they are back up I will go through and fix the links, but in the meantime just about all of my work is offline. I'm sure you're all heartbroken.

For now I'm back at The Varsity, as a lowly news writer. I'm pretty excited, actually - I'm impressed with the new team. This could be a big year. Check out the snazzy new website here.

There haven't been any links added to the article page because I haven't published anything lately. This is probably the longest I've gone without a publication in years, in fact.

First I was concentrating on exams, then I was backpacking around the continent for awhile, and now I'm back in Edinburgh temping. The drought will be over soon, though - in August, I'm going to be covering the Edinburgh International Book Festival for ThreeWeeks, a big Festival review paper. If you're going to be in Edinburgh around then, buy some book fesitval tickets - they're not too expensive (5 to 10 pounds per reading, roughly) and they're selling out fast! Either way, stay tuned - I should be interviewing some cool people.

Wondering what the Edinburgh Festival is? Wikipedia to the rescue.
