My name's Adam Arseneau. I write, but make horrendously little money doing so, by which I mean zero dollars. To pay the bills I work in IT for a multi-national corporation and spend all day on the phone, doggedly not writing that book and screenplay I keep putting off. I attended York University and have an Honors BA in English with an uncompleted minor in film theory, essentially making me unemployable in all sensible industry. Luckily, I'm a gigantic nerd; hence the IT.

I am a regular contributor and writer at DVD Verdict, writing cinema and TV reviews, attending film festivals, recording podcasts and interviewing the occasional minor celebrity. It's a fantastic gig, because you get to be a film cricket, fraternize and be snobby with fellow like-minded film-types and get a lot of free DVDs in the process.

rockout.org used to publish satirical psudo-political humor articles, but I got lazy and stopped writing them for like two years, so now we're back to blog form. Prior to that was ted danson inc., which has been kicking around since the late 1990s in some form or another. The "Ted Danson" thing was a running joke from high school whose origin I can no longer accurately remember, but rest assured, it was funny.

Not that anyone ever asks, but I don't have a LiveJournal or MySpace or FaceBook account. The reason for this is because I am not a thirteen year-old girl. Please, friends and family: shoot me dead if I ever sign up for one.

I live outside of Toronto and live with my wife Rachel, two cats and a turntable, which I am painfully inadequate at playing as a musical instrument. But hope springs eternal! One day, I'll get my nerdcore rap band off the ground!

Oh... then I'll need a MySpace account, won't I? Crap.
