The SF Connexion in Turckheim!

Bonjour, hallo, and welcome to Embrace Space! Today, we're focusing on the science fiction and fantasy genres as we take a look at the 68th Imperial's SF-Connexion convention, hosted this year in Turckheim, France!

Embrace Destiny: My New Video Project

Hello everyone! Welcome! Today, I talk about a new project I've been working on, called Embrace Destiny, and some of the things I've learned along the way.

October in Canada: Halloween 2016

Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year. Late enough in Autumn for the leaves to change colour, with just enough chill to remind you that [...], Halloween has always been a festive time of year for me.

Last year, you may remember that my friends and I outfitted a garage, making a haunted tour for children of the neighbourhood outside of Toronto, Canada. Well, this year, with Juliette with us, we stepped up our game, so please, come check out Halloween 2016!

October in Canada: Ripley's Aquarium!

Today, we continue our tour of Toronto by visiting Ripley's Aquarium, home to sharks, manta rays, and more!

October in Canada: Casa Loma!

Continuing our tour across Toronto, I took Juliette to the beautiful and historic Casa Loma. Fitting for a tour of an English/Scottish-inspired chateau, the weather was raining quite heavily, and we were glad to be inside...

October in Canada: Le tour de la Tour CN!

Part II of the October in Canada series covers our trip to the tallest building in Canada, and the tallest tower in the world between 1975 and 2007! The last few times Juliette had been in Canada, we barely had time to see any of the sights. So, this time, I took a week off work and our first stop was the 457m of fun that is Toronto's CN Tower.

October in Canada: Thanksgiving 2016!

For the past month, I have had the pleasure to be in Canada, spending time with friends and family. What started as a necessary trip to act as Best Man in a wedding, added in Thanksgiving, Halloween, and finally the entire month of October.

So now, please enjoy part 1 of this trip, a reflection of Thanksgiving, 2016.

SMM Hamburg

In early September, I had the privilege to travel to Hamburg, Germany, to moderate a panel on maritime satcom connectivity. While I was there, I made a quick tour of the city, the main conference hall, and here is a recap of my adventures!

Parc l'Orangerie

Now that Juliette and I have settled into our new apartment, we have begun to explore the city of Strasbourg. One of our favourite places to go is the Parc l'Orangerie. So come, take a walk with us!

Settling in Strasbourg

Hello! Bonjour! Willkommen to another edition of Embrace Space! In today's post, we're taking a look at my apartment in Strasbourg, and talking about how well I'm settling in and embracing life in France.

La Volerie Des Aigles

Bonjour! Hello! Bienvenue! I've been in France now for 2 months and I have been very busy! Too busy to post here, most of my life has centred around work and setting up a new apartment. More on that later, for today, let's look at a trip Juliette and I made to the mountains and "la volerie des aigles" or "the eagle aviary".

My First Weeks Back in France, Part 3: Turckheim

Hello everyone! Welcome back! In today's post, we conclude our three-part series on my first set of adventures back in France. Today, Juliette and I roam the village around her home, Turckheim!

My First Weeks Back in France, Part 2: Colmar

Welcome back! Taking a look at my first few weeks in France, here is a glimpse of the beautiful city of Colmar!

My First Weeks Back in France, Part 1: Shopping and a Wedding!

Hello! Welcome back to Embrace Space! As you may recall, I made the move to France a few weeks ago and I thought you'd like to learn a little of my adventures so far. Herein lies the first week, getting to France and preparing for a wedding!

Three Months with NSR!

Last week marked my third month with NSR and since the maritime market report I have been working on is now available for purchase, I thought I would take the time to discuss what I have learned during my time here.

I'm Moving to France!

Hello everyone, and welcome to Embrace Space! I have exciting news, which I'm sure you've already guessed, and I want to tell you about this amazing opportunity and change in my life.

Food in Space

Food. Fewer things on this planet are more representative of people and their cultures than the food we eat. The ingredients, the method of preparation, the perfect wine with which to pair, all the customs surrounding food highlight the intricacies of people, interaction, and biology. But what about food in space? Today, on Embrace Space, we take a look.

The HTC Vive: Virtual Reality and the Holodeck

I had a chance to check out the HTC Vive the other day, and it was pretty amazing! I would love to share my thoughts with you on this commercially available, virtual reality device!

Axe Throwing and Magic for Dom's Birthday!

A few weeks ago, I had the chance to try some things I had heard much about: axe-throwing and playing Magic: The Gathering! It was my great friend Dom's birthday, and I was excited to spend time with him and try something new!

My First Month at NSR

The month has come and gone, and I have been working hard. It has been a great experience so far and I thought I would catch you up.

Ad Absurdum: Space!

Welcome to another exciting edition of Embrace Space! Today's post will be short as I link you to a podcast I helped make. It's all about space, my thoughts, my experiences, and questions answered! 

It turned out to be one of our longest sessions yet, and while I had suggested the topic as a means of answering Alex's general questions about space, he went for a more personal, interviewing approach for the first half. Still, I think you'll find it interesting and entertaining.

Thanks for stopping by!

My First Week at NSR

As you may recall from a previous post, I began working with Northern Sky Research (NSR) very recently. In fact, I just finished my first week with the company, and I'd like to take the time to tell you how it went.

Ad Absurdum - Dark Souls and Destiny

New year, new podcast. It had been some time since we made one, so I roped Alex back in to making a podcast, this time talking about video games.

Working with Northern Sky Research!

Hello! Welcome to Embrace Space! In my last post, I hinted that a good opportunity had come my way, and so I am proud to announce that I have been hired! As you may know, I have been looking to begin my career in the space industry and it looks like I've finally found my chance!

I will be working as an Analyst with Northern Sky Research (NSR), a global leader in market research and consulting services within the space industry, and I am very excited!

Staying Positive

Hello, and welcome to Embrace Space, the only blog on the internet solely written by me! Today's post is about staying positive even when that sucks.
