I graduated from Queen’s University with a degree in biology in 1997 and from the University of King’s College with a degree in journalism in 2000.

After riding the last wave of the dot-com boom at an ill-fated Toronto start-up company, I joined CBCNews.ca in January 2001. I started blogging for the CBC with the Blog Report on Canada Votes 2006.

I’ve been online since 1993 after I convinced his parents my Commodore 64 wouldn’t cut it in university. I’ve kept a blog in one form or another since before I’d heard of the word “blog.”

The John Bowmans I am not

I am not Irish historian and broadcaster John Bowman. I think his pronounced to rhyme with “cow-man.”

I am not comedian John Bowman, the one who opens for Lewis Black. I am not comedy writer/producer John Bowman. I am not Writers’ Guild of America negotiator John Bowman. Stop sending me his stuff.

I am not any of a number of John Bowmans in academia, the Canadian mathematician, the American transportation systems modeler or the Australian microbiologist.

I am not John Bowman of John Bowman Chevrolet in Clarkson, Mich.

I am not John Bowman, defensive end for the Montreal Alouettes.

I am not any of the John Bowmans on Wikipedia. Most of them appear to be dead.
