I've been keeping up with this one, I've really been enjoying it so far.
The implication that the Canadian government is almost doing what the SMD did early on in O&T is very interesting.

Seconding the recommendation. I'm enjoying that it's got some puzzles but for the most part it's fairly straightforward. I'm kind of tired of blogs and vlogs doing loop-de-loops through every conceivable plot twist. Sometimes a simple plotline is the best.

And, quite frankly,

New post today! This is definitely an interesting blog...I'll be keeping my eye on it.

Also, does anyone else find it interesting that his girlfriend's name is Lillith? Seems symbolic to me, but we'll see if it has any play on the story. I've also noticed that it's never shortened (i.e., to Lilly), always Lillith. Not sure if it's meant to be a pseudonym, but either way, it immediately caught my interest.

I'd been thinking something similar.
Had a quick gander at the wikipedia page for the name "Lilith"; there's a lot to go at but there are a few myths which might (or might not) be relevant; the "femme fatale", a lot of stuff about a demonic seductress, something about being a child killer, and the Kabbalistic Tree of Life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith Confused

Also, we can probably assume Smith's real name is Seb/Sebastian. I'm guessing (Chekov's gun-style) that the fact it was put in there was deliberate. Not sure what reference that could have though.

Hm, definitely interesting. Hard to tell how relevant the name will be, since we don't have much of a handle on Lillith's character so far.

Assuming Sebastian is Smith's name, I checked up a bit on Sebastian in myth and found that there is a Saint Sebastian, who was a Christian martyr and is the patron saint of archers and soldiers. Not terribly relevant, though the website (http://www.mythencyclopedia.com/Sa-Sp/Sebastian-St.html) had a few key definitions that stood out to me:

Another post today! This one is updating pretty frequently.

It's been confirmed that Sebastian (or Seb, according to Lillith) is his real name, and that "the Weaver's" influence is getting ever stronger over Seb. Also,

So the main OMaHT storyline seems to have ended, but the protagonist Sebastian's survived and gone on to do other things.
