I know this is old news, but the video makes me giggle every time, so I’m putting it up. So there was this whole Squid Game crypto scam where the value just went ker splatto in a matter of seconds. It was everywhere, and they were talking about how to spot the scam, whatever. I …

If You’re Waiting For Your Health Card or Driver’s License Renewal Notice In The Mail, Don’t
I saw this on the news on Thursday, but I’m not sure how widely the word is being spread. If your Ontario health card, regular driver’s license, or license plate sticker expires after March of 2022, you won’t get your renewal reminder in the mail. Instead, you have to sign up online to receive digital …
An Ode To The Poor Hamsters Of The World
We were listening to Dr. Demento, and a song came on that I can’t get out of my head. It’s so evil, but so good. Those little kids shouldn’t be doing those horrible things with such glee! But it made me think about a hamster that we had when I was a kid. Seriously, the …
So Now There’s An Enhanced Vaccine Certificate…
So we’ve reached the time where vaccine certificates with QR codes are a thing. I guess it doesn’t totally flip into gear until Friday, but the enhanced certificates are available. They will be available for anybody who wants theirs by Monday, but this weekend they’re rolling availability out slowly so they don’t have stampeding electronic …

A Song Called “This Christmas We’re Screwed” Is Not Something I Want Stuck In My Head
This video showed up in my Youtube suggestions a month ago. When I saw it, I thought “Ha ha ha aww cute. A relic from last year!” Actually…not so much. We have a hell of a lot of stuck shipping containers, factory staff shortages and chip shortages. Apparently we’d better get creative and start shopping …
I Like You’re Idea, but I’m Monervous About Some Things
So apparently in addition to JAWS at McDonald’s kiosks, Moneris has built some interesting and pretty helpful stuff into their terminals. Cool…I think. I just have a couple of questions from a blind guy’s perspective. I’m sure the low vision stuff like inverting colours or brightening or adjusting the font is helpful out of the …

With This Vaccine Passport, Which Receipt Do I Goddamn Need?
So I am a confused human. Somebody straighten me out. As of Wednesday, we have a Vaccine Passport system in Ontario. I was under the impression that for the first month, we only had to show our vaccine receipt that we got from the clinic and our health card. But there’s a chance that that’s …

He Was In Bobcaygeon, Doing Computations…
I haven’t seen a lot of all the nephews over the past couple of years because pandemic, but I have been hearing stories about them, particularly the one I call the Sukie Jukie nephew. I swear, he’s a boy genius. First off, he could spell his name when he was two. He could also spell …

It’s A Pandemic, Charlie Brown!
Gill ran into an antivaxx or antimask protest group and thankfully the interaction sounded relatively mild, but it did make me think. I always worry about running into one of these packs of protesters when I’m walking around with Tansy. Maybe I’m weird, but even when I’m outside, I end up just keeping my mask …
And I Mean It!
This TV commercial keeps coming on, and is yet another example of an ad that doesn’t say what it’s for. But it’s a campaign ad, and for some reason, that bugs me even more. The viewer can sort of discern that it’s NDP because of the talking points, but how do they know for sure? …
