Best Of...

I guess I've settled into a groove of only blogging occasionally or when inspired, and for that I'm sorta kinda sorry...but not really. More than four years and 1100 posts is a long time to spend on a just-for-fun non-paying hobby - though the friends and connections and contacts I've made via the Uninflected Images experience more paid for itself several times over.

And I still get my TV/film industry jonesing fix on Twitter these days. 140 character-land may not be as thought out or in depth, but it satisfies the urge to opin or share or debate. But I know new readers still come check out the blog, so I thought I'd put up some of the more popular posts from the past several years for easy one stop shopping. Most are Canadian TV industry related, but a lot of the craft or career advice is pretty universal...and then there are just some fun posts down at the bottom.
