Today, the Winnitron 1000 received some coverage in the Wininpeg Free Press. You can read the article here.
Thanks to Melissa Martin for hooking us up. 
Oddly enough, the article uses a couple of photos by Chrissy – without crediting her. Bwa? Hopefully my posting their photo on this blog will be some kind of revenge. Mwahaha?
I was also just on local CBC Radio talking about the Winnitron 1000!

One of my dreams came true today: landing an interview on CBC Radio.
CBC = Canadian Broadcasting Corporation – similar to NPR in the states. I grew up listening to CBC Radio Winnipeg, both for news and local information but also for the funky radio plays they’d run on Sunday nights.
To me the CBC is a big part of Canada’s cultural identity, and since we have very little of that, it’s also really important. It was a really cool to have the opportunity to be a small part of it and see what goes on behind the “magic”.
‘Cause radio really does seem kind of magical to me… Voices transmitted through air right to your ears – originating in a tiny room, yet crossing vast distances. Epic stuff.

Also: a big thank you to Jamie and Lisanne for hooking me up.
Now to work on my next dream: getting on radio again somehow.
