I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …

Sleep Talkin’ 5. The Bit, I Believe, Is Still Alive!
In our last installment of let’s make fun of what Carin says in her sleep, I thought this little bit would be a thing of the past now that Santa had arrived. But apparently, it still has some life in it, although a little less. There’s one interesting pattern we have noticed: if there is …

I’m Here From The Stats Can, There’s Nothing To Fear?
Hi! It’s me, ya know, the completely absentee blogger? I don’t think I’ve written anything since…January? Gees! I have a metric boatload of things I want to say, but this one feels kind of timely and important. The other day, I was working away and my phone rang. I didn’t recognize the number but for …

This Should Be Funny, But I’m Crying
Because it’s still New Year’s Day, I thought I’d make fun of myself because there are certain Christmas comedy bits that no matter how many times I hear them, they still make me cry. Not laugh until I cry, just straight up cry. Here they are, in no particular order. First, there’s what would happen …
Are Guide Dogs Pets? No!
I keep meaning to post this video because it’s cute, it’s well-done, both in the descriptive sense and the informational sense, and the kid almost sounds like I sounded like as a kid. At least I think so. Hopefully someone will find it handy.
Here Comes 2024
Hi there. It’s me, the biggest absentee blogger in history. Since I started going back to the office, even though I have more energy thanks to ol’ Santa the CPAP machine, I can’t seem to find the time to write, even though I have a great heap of ideas. So…um…it’s 2024. I say this every …
If You Randomly Hear Me Singing “Kiss a Wookiee, Kick a Droid”, I haven’t completely lost it.
I need to put this in your head, because it’s in mine. And I’m not even that big of a Star Wars fan. But somehow, I never noticed that the Indiana Jones theme slid into Star Wars too. For some reason, when I’m trying to get somewhere, and the route is tricky, I get the …
Secret Secret, I Got A Secret
I need to confess something, because the TV is slowly driving me insane. There’s this commercial that keeps playing “Mr. Roboto” by Styx, and every time it plays, I want to hide. Here is why. Seven years ago, I was at one of the Toronto accessibility conferences. I attended a session about considering the elderly …
Tansy’s Massive Playlist
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
Dominotes
I have a bit of time, so I thought I would write about how Domino and I are doing, and what I have learned about him so far. He’s so good in the house, but he moves so quietly. He could get into a lot of mischief if he wanted to. Thankfully, most of the …
