They’re building something huge just east of the Toronto Broadcasting Centre. And every single day at work, we get to watch them build it. Once in a while, the cranes lift something huge just a few feet from my desk.
From Al’s Morning Meeting (a daily read of mine) comes this video called How Al Tompkins Produces His Video Blogs.
The secret? A Flip Video camera.
The crew at Spark has been wanting one of these little cameras for a while now, but we haven’t got our hands on one yet. You see, as far […]
In preparation for getting married, I checked out the “Getting Married” section of CBC’s HR website. Under the FAQ:
I don’t want to know what an audit involves.
This has already been practically everywhere, but since it’s something I’ve been wishing for for a long time, I’ll mention that CBC TV is planning to release television programs via Bittorrent. Let’s hope that they’ll actually generate a feed that’s compatible with Miro.
Not that I’m particularly interested in the program they’re offering (Canada’s Next Great […]
This past weekend, the Spark team and Tristan showed up at the CBC and made a little behind-the-scenes video to explain how we make the radio show every week:
It’s great, because now I don’t have to explain what I do all day.
Need a reason to wake up super-early on a Saturday morning, trudge out into Toronto’s frigid February cold, and visit the CBC Broadcast Centre for a taping of GO?

The kalimba stylings of Laura Barrett
Something called a “Facebook Faceoff”

I’m on GO this weekend and next. Free tickets are still available for both shows.
For a few months now, I’ve been getting email addressed to my dmisener@gmail.com account from a guy named Keith. The emails haven’t been for me, but rather for someone named Diane Misener. Apparently we have very similar email addresses.
For months, I simply deleted Keith’s email. I know I shouldn’t have, but I deleted the first […]
Looking for full episodes of The Vinyl Cafe on-demand?
You won’t find them at the show’s site on cbc.ca. You won’t find full episodes in their podcast, either.
But if you head over to PRX.org and sign up for a free account, you can listen to full episodes of The Vinyl Cafe (including upcoming repeats) in their […]
I work at the CBC’s Broadcasting Centre in Toronto. Just down the hall from my desk, they built something called an “Idea Room.” It’s a nice, big, bright room with a table, and chairs, and whiteboards. We use it for meetings, where presumably, we come up with ideas. Hence the name.
The walls of the Idea […]

As Ouimet observes, much of the CBC’s winter television lineup is available for download via Bittorrent, thanks to some thieving television pirates.
But what you may not know is that The Border, Sophie, and jPod (but not MVP) each have corresponding RSS feeds on tvRSS.net.
What does this mean?
If you paste the search-based RSS feed for each […]
