Just a couple of small things I forgot to mention/didn’t know I’d be mentioning while I was brain dumping away yesterday. The WWE pay-per-view prediction contest I’ve mentioned here and there is over. And in an act completely uncharacteristic of me, I won! I managed to keep the 2 point lead I had going into …

The Trouble With Radio, Or At Least Some Of It
It should be obvious to anyone who’s listened long enough that radio has lost its way. There are a lot of reasons for this, but I just read an article by Alan Cross that nails one of the major problems. All of the cost cutting by the companies that run things means less live people …

My Interview On Accessibility Matters
Remember back when I said I would be on the radio? Well, I finally edited it down from the full hour to the relevant sections, and here’s the result. I left in the monolog by Susan Wheeler because I start joking about it when I start talking, so I felt it had to stay. Plus, …
Are You There Marty? It’s Me, Guelph

One is his version of the amazing ability of the Conservatives to turn any conversation into a misleading diatribe on coalitions, and the other is how much talking he does with the people of Guelph. According to him, …

Stone Road Mall’s Ad Agency Needs To Hit The Road, Again
Stone Road Mall has done another one of those hit the road commercials Ilove so much. This one, as impossible as it seems, might be even worse than the last one. I’m paraphrasing here, but I promise you I’m not leaving anything out. The boot kick. the toe tap. the foot stomp. Every winter, before …

Congratulations To Ray, And Whatever The Opposite Of Congratulations Is To The Stone Road Mall
Carin and I would like to take a second to congratulate Guelph Mayoral candidate Ray Mitchell on accomplishing what we believe to be a first for his run. Unless we missed something, he made it through the entire hour and a half candidates discussion on CJOY this morning without once saying “I won’t win,” “it …
