More Less is More
Wherein our hero, seemingly on an R. Buckminster Fuller jag, sheds more than his vestments; and shares the secrets of his weight loss with his audience. (That’s right, you and the other guy.)

Less is More
Among other things, I’m the main HTML/CSS guy on Tucows.com and butterscotch.com. As such, I’ve run into many situations where I found the only way to get the effect I was looking for, was to copy a chunk of CSS code from the same document; whether it’s as simple as a colour code, or as…

SaveOurNet.ca Has Lost My Support

Harper Giveth (to the commercial broadcasters), And Harper Taketh (from the CBC)
Our favourite moron is giving $150 million to private broadcasters, but is forcing the CBC to decimate its workforce by some 800 heads. If we had any doubts of the Harper government’s agenda to put down the CBC, they’ve now been put to rest. I don’t know about you, but I’m livid. Clearly Harper missed…

Ross Rader: Slayer of Records
While I’ll be lapping up the WordPress goodness at WordCamp this Friday, Ross Rader, avid cyclo-fanatic and director of Tucows‘ Hover division, will be hard at work on trashing the cross-Ontario cycling record. He’s doing this to raise awareness, and funds, for the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. Ross will be cycling 874km, trying…
