  • New York Times documentary lifts the veil on the most important newspaper in the world

    By September 22, 2011

    The New York Times is the single most important news outlet in America. It still breaks big stories on a regular basis and has weathered the rise of tabloids, cable news and the Internet to remain one of the most respected institutions in journalism. Not bad for a paper that just celebrated its 160th birthday.

  • Pixar lecture blends the technical with the magical

    By September 18, 2011

    The creative minds at Pixar Studios are some of the best in the business, which why I was extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to sit in on a free, public lecture presented by two veteran Pixar animators. The speakers, brought to Saskatoon by the U of S College of Arts and Science, were Andrew Gordon, an animator, and Matthew Luhn, a story artist, who between them have over 30 years of experience at Pixar.
