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 …

Imagine Riding A Bus With A Moose…
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 …

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 …
