Who the hell is Jonathan Keebler?
Jonathan Keebler was a lead programmer at CHUM (before CHUM was taken over by CTV) who was responsible for a great deal of websites for CTV including Pulse24, Muchmusic, Muchmoremusic, TheNewMusic, Spacecast, CityNews, CP24, Bravo, CityLine, 1050Chum, TheNewVR, TheNewVI, A-Channel (Barrie, London, Ottawa, Victoria, Windsor, Wingham), Citytv (Toronto, Vancouver), BNN, Star!, Maxfact, Bravofact, The Comedy Network Video Player, TSN Video Player, Discovery Channel Video Player, CTV Video Player, CTV News Video Player, Razer, PunchMuch, SexTV, and FashionTelevision. He was also a leader in bringing the non silverlight video player to CTV, which allows any operating system to enjoy the content on CTV, The Comedy Network, and more. In a recent blog posting on July the 8th, it would appear he has quit CTV and will now be working full time on a project known as Scribble Live.
As I write this I don’t have a terrible amount of time to dig into any detail, but I will come back to the posting soon and update and clean it up.
I wish Jonathan luck on his new effort, and hope that he finds health, wealth and if he has time, a little happiness. I know that through his efforts he has brought me many hours of it by bringing us the CTV and Comedy Network Players. I just hope that as he leaves CTV does not abandon his more open direction that allowed so many non windows users to enjoy online tv!
Read his good bye post here, and watch someone set fire to his business cards here.
