I wanted to link to a couple Weird Al songs, just because they get in my head, and I like the theme. I tweeted a link to this one when my dad sent me yet another “don’t open a message that says ‘it takes guts to say Jesus’ or it will burn your hard drive” …

It’s Me! Anybody Here?
So…I’m sure you’re wondering where the heck we’ve been, and why, when we come back to life, we’re spewing out stories about aptly named dumbasses and…gross individuals. Were we gone for an awesome vacation? Were we in a coma and don’t even realize we’ve missed almost a month? Well, if all else fails you can …
Killer Robots: It’s Not Just In Science Fiction Anymore!
Serious as this article is, every time I see it, this song enters my head and won’t leave. I guess there’s a robotics company in KW that makes unmanned robots, and some of their buyers are the military and space agencies. They have decided that they do not want to be responsible for making killer …

It Looks Like Hitchbot Made It
Remember when I wrote about Hitchbot? Remember how I was afraid he wasn’t going to make it? It looks like he made it! I saw pictures that said he was there, followed by tweets that said he wasn’t quite there yet. But at any rate, if he’s not there, he’s super close! I have to …
Another Quick List of Tips For Being A Better Human Being With People With Disabilities
I also saw this on Friday, and decided to put it up too. We’ve probably said all of this in one spot or another, but I don’t care. The more eyes who see this, the better. Here’s an awesome article called How To Talk To A Person With Disabilities Without Sounding Like An A-Hole, and …
Nothing Has Popped Up Ye…
I saw this on Friday, and laughed, and laughed, and laughed. It would be funny to collect all the factory resets for a bunch of phones and do this as often as possible. That telemarketer will be one pissed off dude…but he’s one pissed off dude who can’t make a call until they fix it. …
Kids React To Even More Stuff
Apparently I’m behind on my kids reacting to stuff. Here are kids reacting to old computers, like maybe my old apple? and Game Boys. Kids really have a problem with having to put media in side devices. Walkman? computer? typewriter? game boy? It’s really weird to think about how that’s changed. I never thought about …
Kids React To Typewriters
I wondered when they would have kids reacting to typewriters… What? They did? That was pretty funny. Expecting the paper to be pre-installed and marvelling over whiteout, or screaming at the thought of making copies were all pretty funny moments.
Epic Tansy Post Part 2
That last Tansy post was huuuge. This one has a bunch of stuff, but won’t be quite as massive. Back years ago, I wanted to find Babs’s old whistle to use as a recall aid. Well, I found it this year, and was starting to use it with Tansy. All I was doing was associating …
Epic Tansy Update Part 1
Oh my, it’s been a while since I’ve done a straight up Tansy update. It’s almost daunting to look at the list of things I’ve written down..and some of them may not even be important anymore. I’ll try and cobble something together. I feel bad for the Tanseroo, I haven’t been as good at documenting …
