A while ago, Steve welcomed Uber to KW. I’ve been trying Uber out, and I have to say that for the most part, the experience has been pretty awesome. I should be clear. When I could manage to get an Uber ride, the experience was awesome. Aside, grammar people…is it a Uber or an Uber? …

Abandoned In A Ditchbot
Remember last year when I wrote about Hitchbot? For a while, Hitchbot did really well, going all the way across Canada, Germany and the Netherlands, and I was impressed. Maybe we humans aren’t such assholes. … Then it went to the states, and…someone ended its journey rather violently. Someone ripped off its arms and removed …
Another Post About Touchy Feely People, Only Written Much Better
A while ago, in the comments under another post, I lamented that when I try to write a serious post about something that is bugging me, it always comes out long, whiny, convoluted and repetitious. Here is a perfect example of what I’m talking about. Here’s my post, and here’s a much more succinct and …

I Know Where I’d Stick This Dash Button…
Oh boy, I get to put on my old lady hat and rail against more technology. You’d never know I love the stuff. Remember when I screamed about the hybrid computer/TV/fridge? Well apparently I had no idea what was coming, none at all. This becomes obvious when I made fun of text messages. I am …
Jibo: Creepo?
soundtrack time. How I missed putting this in on the post’s first construction, I don’t know. I’ve been meaning to write about this since I saw it, but thankfully I only saw it a couple of months ago, not like some of the things I haven’t managed to write about. One day, someone tweeted that …
That Costly Trip To Costco
For some reason, this is a hard post for me to write…but here goes. Last July, a story broke about a woman’s car slamming into a London Costco, killing a 6-year-old girl and her newborn sister, and injuring their mother and other sister. Charges were laid against Ruth Berger, the driver of the car, and …
Another Carnival Is Live
Well, it looks like the carnival is up. There are some interesting entries. I think it’s fascinating that a lot of us said the same thing, that we consider a lot of our mistakes just that, mistakes, or lessons, but not regrets. Go check it out when you’re not enjoying Canada Day stuff.
Robobraille: OCR In A Pinch
I don’t know why I’ve never written about this service, but better late than never. More often than I’d like, I get a document that’s either unreadable because it’s a scanned image, semi-readable or readable if you have a million years and infinite patience. Usually, if I can put it through OCR, it can fix …
Creamy Chocolate Kill?
I figure I’ll write about Timmy’s since it’s Canada Day. It seems appropriate. A little while ago, Tim Horton’s came out with…something…called the Creamy Chocolate Chill. Wow, something is wrong with me…I’m blogging about some random food product. But there are two reasons I want to, so bear with me. When I first heard about …
It’s Canada Day. How’d We Get Here?
Soundtrack time. Yup, it’s Canada Day. Where is this year going? I hope people are finding fun things to do somewhere, just enjoying the day off. I’m probably going to be spending some time outside if the weather decides to be good. I’m just glad to be doing what I want to do. Not a …
