Poopies With A Purpose
No, I wasn’t smart enough to come up with that title completely on my own…I got a little inspiration from this fund-raising campaign. Apparently, in Waterloo, they’re finding a use for dog poop. They’re running a pilot project that will try and turn it into power. That’s awesome, since dog poop is one of those …
The CNIB Is Starting Its Own Guide Dog Program? How?
I came across this press release about the CNIB starting up a guide dog program, and I was sceptical, to be generous. To be more accurate, I checked my calendar to verify that it wasn’t April 1, because I was sure this was some kind of elaborate joke. But after I saw this video, the …

It’s Tans And Trix Talk Time!
I am so overdue on doggy talk, and we just marched through that time of the year where there is a cluster of dog anniversaries for both Trix and Tans, so it’s a good time to talk about both beasts. Well, I guess I can officially stop worrying about Tans pulling a LaniJo. She has …

Stop, Ask, Listen: Pretty Straightforward Stuff, Yes?
I know I have said it over and over and over again before, but I found someone else’s take on it that I thought was pretty well-written, and bonus, it included references to other “feel good stories” I’ve wanted to talk about, so double awesome! It also mentions an issue that I have talked about …

The Bayesian Trap
Want to make your brain explode? Watch this video about the Bayesian trap. At first, this sounds ridiculous, but because this guy has a lot of patience, it really starts to make sense. The sucky part is I don’t know if I would ever be able to actually properly use that equation because my poor …
Follow Your Arrow To Jail
I figure I might as well ruin two songs with this case. Remember the story about the guy getting shot with an arrow? Well, a few days ago, Eric Amaral pleaded guilty, and is going away for a long time. When they charged him with the murder, there was a small part of me that …
