As I sit here, and my arm slightly protests from carrying home a few bags of groceries yesterday, I am reminded again of this Gita helper robot thing I read about the other day, and how I kinda sorta want one. The team’s first product is Gita, a round rolling robot that can carry up …

More Strange Dog Dreams
After all these years, I still have weird dreams about either losing dogs or going back to train with a new one. But now they’ve gotten really weird. One time, I had a dream that I was at a pet store and I needed their help with something. They said they would help me in …
Thanks, Asshole!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeVLxcekEsw Somebody posted this funny commercial about organ donation on Facebook yesterday, and I laughed and laughed and laughed. Note to self: Did I check that box when I got my Ontario Photo card? And I’m not even an asshole. Double awesome!
Kika The Spying Guide Dog
I read about this a little while ago, and had a few thoughts about it. Amit Patel is a fellow who has recently gone blind, and he encounters a lot of jerks in his travels. So, he decided to attach a GoPro to his guide dog Kika and capture video evidence of said jerks. Unless …
It’s Not Fan Food, It’s I Feel Fat Food
We live dangerously close to a Dairy Queen, so sometimes we get blizzards. For a while, we used to get the blizzards of the month, but then they took those away and brought in these Royal blizzards. That was the closest I could get, they don’t have their own page, but they do have their …
Last Day At Work
I just wanted to put this song up quickly. I would have put it up a couple of weeks ago, but the place where it lives suffered a massive server death so I had to wait for them to come back. A coworker at my awesome job who has been there much longer than me …

Although horribly late, it’s not as late as it seems because we only finished having get-togethers 3 weeks ago. Why? Because weather and circumstances are evil. We had the best plan ever. We were going to spread …

Holly Alonzo Has Passed Away
Way back years ago, I used to blog about someone named Holly and her struggles to get an auditory brain implant. I lost track of her, and last week, I heard that she passed away. That’s way too young to die. I remember her being one heck of a fighter. I can’t imagine having repeated …
We Wish You A Maily Christmas
Here is the story of Juanita Rodenhiser , a very sweet, well-intentioned mom who’s trying to bring her daughter some happiness. Believe me, I completely understand that goal. But the thing is she has not heard the stories of the others who have preceded her into the “another postcard” category in which she now finds herself. …
If Only He’d Owned A TV, He Would Have Known It Was Shop With A Cop Day
So it appears we have a brand new episode of shoplift with a cop. I still cannot believe this happens this much. I guess James Walsh was feeling brave. He had been out to this Walmart the day before and had successfully stolen a TV, so he thought he needed another one, a big one. …
