Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I don’t totally understand why given that it’s 2014 and we really should be beyond it, but the subject of plain text, “more accessible” versions of websites still comes up more than you’d think. For the record, I hate those and you should, too. And in a new post on his accessibility blog, Marco breaks …

A lot of Canadians like to take digs at Americans over how much they don’t know about other countries. “If it’s not their own home, they’re ignorant,” says the popular opinion. Well, the popular opinion might want to rethink that, since at least some of them don’t seem to know all that much about their …

Here’s the latest CKCO flashback. This time, David Imrie, who’s been a reporter there longer than I’ve been alive, looks at how much the news team’s technology has evolved over the years.

Some really funny stuff here from Scott Feschuk of Macleans, as he takes real Dear Abby questions and answers them as Stephen Harper might answer them. DEAR ABBY: I was married to my high school sweetheart, “Linda,” for 37 years. I am a widower now, going into a new relationship with “Susan.” How do I …
We’re supposed to call it CTV Kitchener now, but it’ll always be CKCO to me. But whatever your name of choice, this year marks its 60th anniversary. All this week, they’re doing flashback segments on the news looking at the history of the station. I love that sort of thing especially when It’s something I …
I’m not the biggest rap fan in the world, but I can appreciate it. Some of those artists really are talented, creative people with important things to say. And then there are guys like Mac Lethal, who not only talks faster than you, but does it in alphabetical order. AMAZING TONGUE TWISTER RAP // (I …
