Living Can Kill You

CBC listenership; Frank’s angel; climate data online

News that the CBC is now the third-most listened to radio station in Canada is a good-news/bad-news scenario: while it’s good that more people are listening to my favourite media outlet, most of the listeners are older. (The CBC is trying to attract younger listeners, but the results recent changes may not have shown up in this survey.)

Another dose of good news/bad news: Frank has found its angel, but Canada’s favourite gossip rag will shift focus from Parliament Hill to Bay Street.

Server overloads expected during the day. with a chance of breakdowns overnight.

Environment Canada launched a Web site offering “[d]irect access to climate values in the database for specific locations and dates” but Climate Data Online’s apparent popularity has kept it offline for much of the day. Sounds cool, though.
