I’ll bet this is the kind of Easter Egg that only takes someone a few minutes of fun to program in, but it’s also the kind of little extra tidbit that makes me think, ‘Hey, there’s someone here who cares about the user experience, and likes to have fun.’
Also, it’s a little something that reveals a non-corporate — a human — side to a big company.
What am I talking about? Try this:
Go to the Globe and Mail’s site: www.globeandmail.com
Click on the background with the mouse.
Slowly, type in the Konami code (Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A)
After you click ‘ok’ to the pop-up, hit Shift + Spacebar.
In the console, type “contra”.
hit Shift + Spacebar again to close the console.
Awesomeness.
The Konami code, in case you didn’t know, is famous.
Also, if you enter it on Facebook (followed by ‘Enter’) then you get a wild, difficult to see through, lens flare effect on your screen.
