So um, guys? Where did 2013 go? Who ate it? It feels like we’re just getting warmed up, but here we are, getting ready for Christmas. Exactly how did that happen? I started writing this yesterday when we were in the middle of one hell of an ice storm, in which the cops are telling …

So There’s A New Diet Chip…Mmm…Chips…
I heard about the possibility of a computer chip to help people diet, and even though I can see what they’re going for, the part of me that’s studied psychology and watched Sci Fi movies gets a wee smidge freaked out. So this chip is supposed to send a signal, based on your blood fat …
Abraham Nemeth-Life=So Long
I meant to write about this back when it happened in October, but did I? Nope. I read that Dr. Abraham Nemeth, inventor of the Nemeth Code, had dide. My first thought was “Nemeth Code is that recent?” Braille feels so old, even though in the grand scheme of things it’s not, that I assumed …
Will The Turtle Be Unbroken?
What is it about this song about a falling turtle that never stops making me chuckle? Also, don’t you think the guy sounds like Ed robertson from Barenaked Ladies? Don’t know who that is? now you do. It’s been almost a month, and I’m still going to it so I can chuckle again. I’m easily …
What Are Ya’ At? A Great Big Sea Concert
Oh my head. My head is an unhappy head. But hey, it was worth it. Soundtrack time. We went to see Great Big Sea last night. I just wish our old friend Shoe was with us…that would have made it much cooler. But as it was, it was one awesome show. I’m sad their tour …
Wacky Dreams And Common Themes
Gill’s talk about the Sesame Street pinball song made me dig, root and search for Steve’s post where he mentions the thing. Good thing I did, since the damn video he linked to has been pulled, so I had to find another one. That was four years ago? Where is my life going? But Gill’s …
Ciao, Bella
Woooohooooo! Ok, that’s out of my system. I can write. We have talked about our canine nextdoor neighbour. Her name was Bella, but we had a fondness for calling her Shitlip. Why? That apartment would stink really bad like animal urine. We were sure that either that dog was having accidents all the time, or …
TextStalker.Bin Drivin’
I haven’t planted an inside joke in a post in a while…figured I’d go for two weird ones in the title. I heard about something on CBC radio that I’ve been meaning to write about for a while. The morning guy was talking about this app that parents can install on their kids’ phones that …
He’s Havin’ My Baby?
So yeah…I guess I’m about due for a weird and wacky dream. I blame the show “Dates from Hell” for this dream. No, it’s not as nightmarish as the things that go on in that show, but it was to do with something one of the victims said. Due to the maniac she took on …
CBC Wants To Be More Accessible. Go CBC!
I meant to post this last week, but here it is now. Oh well, a week is a marked improvement compared to how long it usually takes me to post things. I went to Accessibility Camp Toronto last Saturday. I love going to those things. I always pick up tidbits of information, plus get re-energized. …
