I’m working on a project with a buddy of mine, who happens to be a great DJ, where we help people boost their own DJ businesses to new heights. I’m pretty excited about the project.

New Local Tea Place: The Alley

I got to check out a new tea café before it opened!

I (as Operations Manager of The WPG Magazine) got invited to check out a new Bubble Tea spot called The Alley. Read the full article on thewpg.ca. Going to go ahead and recommend it.

I Love My Dog

I absolutely love my dog. His name is Moffatt. He’s a ball of love and energy. I never understood how people could say “this dog saved my life” or “my whole life changed when I met this dog”… until now. I get it.

The Winterpeg Report

I'm doing a thing through @TheWPGMagazine. It's a podcast called The Winterpeg Report.

I’m doing a thing through The WPG Magazine. It’s a podcast called The Winterpeg Report. It’s about Winnipeg and some of the very cool people, businesses, and activities in town. This project is great for my mental health because I get to talk to people from outside my home and learn about some of the cool stuff that makes Winnipeg fun. It’s extra helpful in the depths of Winnipeg’s famously…

The Calm of Inbox Zero

I cannot adequately describe the positive effects of achieving "Inbox Zero" on my mental health.

I cannot adequately describe the positive effects of achieving “Inbox Zero” on my mental health. The calm. The zen. The rush of dopamine. The feeling of accomplishment. As someone who treats emails as tasks, getting to the bottom of the pile is a feeling that can’t be copied. Does it do the same for anyone else? Or is just me?

I'm in University.

I'm in University. Oof.

I’m in school again, for the first time in almost 20 years. I officially graduated high school in 2002, and I didn’t bother with University at the time because I didn’t want to spend 30k$ (or more) to figure out that “this isn’t what I want to do with my life.” I’m glad I held off with that because, honestly, I’d either be a bitter history teacher now, or I’d be a bartender with a super useful…

The Flaming Zamboni

The title sounds like a terrible circus act, but it’s the most apt way to describe this video.

I’ve never put “Zamboni Driver” and “Hero” in the same sentence before, but let me say it now:

This Zamboni Driver is a hero.

Holy forking shirtballs… This guy CONTINUES TO DRIVE the Zamboni to get it off the ice and away from the people, mainly children waiting to play a game, despite the…

After 24 hours with Google Stadia Pro

So here is my Google Stadia first impression:

BAD: Controllers are key, and it’s a bummer you can’t yet use the Xbox One or PS4 controllers with the Chromecast option of playing. You CAN use those for playing on your phone/tablet/computer, but the Chromecast Ultra allows up to 4K and you can’t use it unless you buy the 169$CAD Premiere Edition or an 89$ standalone controller. Console…

Cool vs. Not Cool

Cool vs. Not Cool

The first time I learned about “brand” and privilege was when some kid wearing Nike sneakers made fun of my shoes and said “What are those? BiWay shoes? Are you poor?”

They were, in fact, from BiWay. We weren’t poor, and I liked my sneakers. My parents let me pick them out myself. But I learned then and there that there was a “cool” version of something and a “not cool” version.

Being a kid…

Chef Amelia

Amelia and I attended a soup party last weekend, where the attendees all made various soups and brought them to share. It was a souper fun time. Pun very, VERY intended. (There was a prize for the best soup-related pun.)

So today, after a long day of driving around running errands and walking to the grocery store, during which we had a lot of fun … 

… we returned home a little…

A little bit of colour.

I am a single dad to a four-year-old girl. Any dads with daughters will tell you it’s hard to avoid some of the activities we guys aren’t familiar with.

I’m not a “boys are blue and girls are pink” type of father. My daughter loves the Ninja Turtles as much as she loves My Little Pony. That said, before my daughter was in my life, I put hair into exactly ZERO ponytails, I had never successfully…

I feel a might Twitch-y...

I feel a might Twitch-y…

I’m streaming on Twitch.tv now.

Live Feed is here:

https://player.twitch.tv/?autoplay=false&muted=false&channel=markadamhfx

Mostly chatting to nobody while playing World of Warcraft (which I am NOT good at, by the way), this is a mental health outlet for me as much as a money-saving manoeuvre.

It automatically archives videos for 14 days so you can check out my latest videos when I’m not live.

MAL Adjusted Media is now Mark Adam Design

MAL Adjusted Media is now Mark Adam Design

I’m so happy to announce that MARK ADAM DESIGN is here.

All MAL Adjusted Media clients will be unaffected. It’s literally just a name change and a new logo.

I feel that it more accurately displays what I do, now that I am doing it all on my own. I’m proud to put my name on this service.

Feel free to let me know what you think!
