Mind Control Division

Media intelligence through investigation and experimentation

The Mind Control Division is the intelligence arm of Blaine Kyllo's Solo Corps. This department conducts investigations and experiments into media culture, which includes, but is not limited to, writing on television, video games, and books.

I’m currently writing on video games ("Trigger Happy" in the Georgia Straight and "Joystuck" in FFWD Weekly), consumer technology ("Techno Logic" in the Georgia Straight), and television ("Remote View" appears at CinemaSpy.ca).

Elan Awards escape Vancouver · 8 April 2010, 06:35

In today’s Georgia Straight is my latest feature, detailing the troubles faced by the Elan Awards in its short four-year history.

They used to be called the Canadian Awards for the Electronic and Animated Arts, but the awards program never really did the Canadian industries justice.

Judging by the luminosity of its hosts, the Elan Awards show would appear to have been a hit. William Shatner, Seth MacFarlane (the creator of Family Guy), and Tom Kenny (the voice of SpongeBob SquarePants) have all served as master of ceremonies for the formerly Vancouver-based awards ceremony that recognizes outstanding achievement in video-game development and animation.
