I'm Adam White. I'm a software developer and writer based in Niagara Falls, Ontario. For over 10 years I've produced content for and helped manage the online community of Punknews.org. At JMR SoftwareSystems I code in Java for the server side of our custom web applications. I write about social media topics for the Business Link newspaper and chat with Niagara businesses and creatives via SocialMediaNiagara.

As a speaker I've given well-received talks for the City of Niagara Falls, the Niagara Falls and Fort Erie Chambers of Commerce, and a number of businesses and service organizations. I'm one of the founding members of the Niagara Social Media Club.

This place: You're looking at a mixed media blog built with Tumblr. Here I'll be posting a random stream of images, music, links and other media that catches my interest.

misterpeace asked:
"If I posted a picture that was a collage of The New Pornographers, Maple Leafs hockey, the Kids in the Hall, maple syrup, Alpha Flight, Scott Pilgrim, and Dave Coulier, would you explode from uncontainable Canadian pride?

PS - I dig that you dig comics. Me, too. What are favorites, aside from the aforementioned Alpha Flight and Scott Pilgrim?"

Answer:

To be honest I didn’t know Coulier was one of ours. Sorry about that. Swap him out for Neil Young or something and we’re all set.

I’m pretty typical comics-wise I suspect. I’ve got a slowly growing bookshelf with the usual suspects from Moore and Morrison. I’m a huge fan of Ellis and Immonen’s Nextwave, Joe Casey and Tom Scioli’s G0DLAND, Mignola’s Hellboy and his B.P.R.D. work (particularly the run that features Arcudi co-writing and art by Guy Davis). Anything that the team of Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly touch I’m sure to enjoy.

I was a Marvel zombie as a kid so I’m more likely to follow their ongoing universe than anything else.

There’s no word for “quit” in Canadian! (And if there was, the members of Alpha Flight sure wouldn’t say it!)

This is amazing. You have the whole history of the team on display via the file folders. Brilliance.
