I finally know what this video is about. Description: This is a Norwegian video that shows all sorts of animals with a harness, such as a burrow, a duck, a yak or an ox, a moose/elk, ostrich, etc. They all have a person with them as though the person shown next to them is using …

Get A Handle On Your Dog’s Health
I spend a lot of time laughing at ridiculous technology, but I think I want this little gadget. It’s a harness handle attachment that can give the handler info about their guide dog’s well-being. Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a device that allows people who are blind to monitor their guide dogs, …
He Got Shot With A What?
I know this happened a month ago, in fact 4 weeks ago tomorrow, so isn’t exactly current, but I have to write about it, because it freaked me right the hell out when it happened, and when something freaks me right the hell out, sometimes it’s good to write about it. So off we go. …
Massive Tansy update comin’ in.
I looked at the Tansy category, realizing that I haven’t written about her in a while, and my! Last time I mentioned her was Canada Day. Then again, I haven’t been much for posting these last few months. I’ve had lots of ideas, but never enough time to get them all down. So I figured …
When Accessibility Meets Music, You Get…An Album?
Here’s a little quick something to hopefully get me moving. A week or so ago, Steve found out about this album put out by 13 people who are accessibility keeners, and also like to make music. It’s called Accessibility Rocks, the Web Accessibility album. Each artist has donated a song that they created. The proceeds …

It’s Already A Better Tuesday Morning
I saw this on Facebook, and couldn’t stop laughing. Thankfully it isn’t anything we have to worry about…but maybe we might have to later if we end up with a conservative government again, who knows. Someone wrote up what we should do if we woke up this morning and Stephen Harper was still in power. …
Max Keeping Is Gone
Wow, I’m full of downers tonight. I think we all have people in our lives that we never imagine not being there. They just…are part of your life, life wouldn’t be the same without them. There are people like your grandparents and parents. You know, logically, that eventually we all are going to die, but …
Thank You, For Playing!
This is long, long, long long overdue, but better late than never. Back in August, I heard that Jim Kitchen, the one who wrote all those Kitchensinc games, had died. I couldn’t believe it, but it was true. You can even listen to it if you don’t believe me. Jim Kitchen wrote some pretty amazing …
A Musical Plea To Vote
Here’s yet another protest song. So, if you agree, please, please, pleasepleaseplease, please, please please please please get out and vote tomorrow! Don’t make her write any more verses. Did I say please enough? Did I? Even if you don’t agree, get out and vote. And…to whoever wrote this, say what you really think! Don’t …
Guide Dog Guide
I wasn’t going to post this, but it won’t leave my head, so up it goes. I guess it was a part of a fund-raising effort in Australia…at least I’m assuming it’s in Australia. Some folks wrote a song about guide dogs being canine superheroes and put it up on iTunes and Amazon and such. …
