The Smallest Radio Station in Canada

Years ago I worked in community radio.  I had the opportunity to work on air at CFMU and also CHMR before it became CIOI or as it is now known, the Hawk 101.5 in Hamilton.  But, from what I hear there is a station that is even more shall way say local community oriented.

Calling itself the smallest radio station in Canada at 92.1 FM CJAI boasts a mere 250w signal.  The station serves the West Kingston Ontario region out of Amherst Island, it is also heard in Picton and Napanee.  And it's all volunteer run.  Pretty cool.

Even cooler or is it more like moooler is the fact that the studios are located in an old milk house, yes that is a barn.  A throwback to days when stations in Canada were housed in such places like this and in houses.  Yes houses, I know as I visited one while looking for work in radio, eh when I had more hair :).  That is a story for another time.

Chain Reaction Gets a Face lift

Today I am feeling kind of lazy, ya, just want to play a game.  So I searched around and found an new take on an old game.  Remember chain reaction?  The idea behind the game was to cause balls to blow up and any others near them to do the same.  The result a chain reaction, the bigger the reaction the more points you got.

Well the game has grown up so to speak, now the advanced version is out.  Not bad if i do say so myself.  I will admit this is just a time waster.  That said sometimes it is nice to blow an hour or two on doing nothing online.  So indulge if you can.
