It appears I’m not quite gone. Thank you Top Tech Tidbits for passing on this little ditty about Unified English Braille. Yes, I’m a bad blind person and haven’t been paying attention to this UEB freight train. I knew that certain contractions were going, and kinda wondered why, but that’s the extent of my knowledge. …

Merry Christmas And All That Stuff
Let’s keep up the theme of bad Christmas songs with this gem. This damn song will always remind me of a toy goose that Trixie got for Christmas…and destroyed in one sitting. The Shoe Thief and Steve nicknamed it Honky the Christmas goose, and I had no idea what they were talking about. If I …
Driving A Cab Can Be Such A Drag…
Hehehehehe! This video was posted to my Facebook timeline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVBEvp9BBZE I couldn’t help but laugh. If this was making fun of last week’s out of control taxi driver protest, I love it. I love it a lot. Let’s talk about that protest for a minute because it was nuts. The cab drivers are upset that …
CSL: The Chimney-Smoked Loser!
Soundtrack time. Years ago, I wrote about a woman’s body being found in a guy’s chimney. Now, I think I’ve found a freakier one. So the story goes that the owner of this house was gone when 19-year-old Cody Caldwell thought it would be a fine home to burglarize. But he wouldn’t smash a window …
The Mystery of Tans’s Dermatitis
Something I mentioned in this huge mass of Tans updates was some dermatitis and some discomfort when I was grooming her. Well, I have an update on that, and since I like capturing this stuff, here we go. After I noticed the dermatitis, I noticed that she seemed suuuuper tired. It was unreal. She’d come …
I’m Just Begging For Directions
After I wrote this post about my encounter with a guy looking for spare change, I got thinking about something else. I have to ask…do we really have a huge problem with panhandling in Cambridge? The reason I ask is last weekend I happened to be there Christmas shopping and I was looking for my …
Dear Panhandling Dude:
I was walking down the street, Christmas shopping. As I walked, a guy approached me asking me if I had any spare change. There was something about him that made the hair stand up, and told me I should say no. Guiltily I did, saying I don’t have any change, knowing that I did in …
Some Hopefully Uber Helpful Uber Tips
I thought I’d pass on a couple of Uber-related things that I have figured out. I am happy to say I really haven’t had any worse of an experience than I’ve had with cabs, and most of the Ubers have been way better. I’m very thankful, though, that I never had to deal with this …
Baby You’re A Synthesized Firework
I got this sent to me a couple of weeks ago, and I’m finally putting this up. Wow. It goes to show people are still making these singing synththings. Thank you, Derek Riemer, for sending me this one. So without further delay, here’s Dectalk singing Firework. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoKv7qxlMXM It would be much cooler if it had …
A Funny Refresher On Things That Annoy Blind People
I saw this satirical list of 17 ways to make a blind person happy, and after I finished laughing, I thought it needed a link. Let’s see. How many of these have I experienced? Most of them. Thankfully no. 11 doesn’t happen much, but it has. The closest I’ve had to no. 12 was that …
