Gutted to find out that Glen Hansard died a few months back. Fantastic song-writer, singer, and he could play the hell out of a guitar. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Hansard

Do you use custom wallpapers in #firefox 's New Tab? We've just enabled a flag in Firefox Nightly that lets you maintain a collection of custom wallpapers. More improvements beyond that soon!

Hoping that closer ties between Canada and the EU will include a high-priority pneumatic tube bringing delicious EU food to my dining table. Looking at you, Italy and France.

Gander, a small town in Newfoundland, welcomed 38 planes, carrying 6,656 people – nearly double […]

I saw an extremely French-Canadian high-dive act at the CNE. It was great!

A high dive act is being performed. Lots of performers are all over the dive structure. There is much chaos - one has clearly jumped from a board, and gloves and shows are flying off of them. One is holding a large cardboard pizza slice. Another is climbing up to the tallest part of the high dive structure. It's extremely French-Canadian.

"In both of these misguided invasions, Americans apparently convinced themselves that Canadians essentially did not exist, at least not as a people or a nation with a shared collective identity. They were only a bunch of oppressed and delusional colonials who not-so-secretly yearned to be […]

I happened to see these fellas during my week off. A really fantastic live band from Toronto that have been on a tear! Here's one of my favourite songs of theirs: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFzMJtsMbfw

If you're using the default New Tab in #firefox Nightly, you might notice that a recent update has changed the behaviour of the search input on the New Tab page: instead of it doing the (awkward) "handoff" to the URL bar, interacting with the search input actually... lets you perform searches […]

Using #Firefox Beta 155 or Firefox Nightly 156? Are you a fan of Picture-in-Picture? Try setting `media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.playback-speed.enabled` to `true` in about:config - this will add a new video speed control to the PiP player window. Thanks to volunteer contributor Simon […]
