Help the Get Together with Technology Program Get Together Some Technology
This comes from a friend of mine. I wish I had spare equipment I could part with, because I think this Get Together with Technology program is a pretty neat idea. How many times over the years have I contemplated buying a piece of technology, but decided against it because it’s a lot of money …

Moving-Related Goodness: GRT Is Great!
Hehehehehehe. A little joke for folks reading Braille. GRT is great. Yes, yes it is. It’s the contraction for great, but Grand River Transit, which is GRT, is also great…at least so far. Here’s why.

Trixie Feelings Stew
I’ve been meaning to write this one for a while…but either never felt like I had the time or the mental energy to put all this stuff into words. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it justice, but I can try. Having to go back to the cane has made me realize …
Trixie Transition
So…here’s the latest about Trixie. I’ll do my best to not repeat myself from the retirement post. This will probably be long and rambling. Trix has moved into her new home, and seems to be enjoying herself thoroughly. She’s gone on huge walks and seems to enjoy them, and has even gone through a thunder …
The Problems With First Past The Post Voting Explained
The other day at work, for some reason, we got talking about the whole First Past the Post electoral system. One of my coworkers mentioned a video aboutwhat’s bad about first past the post systems as illustrated by fictitious animal kingdom candidates. Kind of a neat, easy to understand video. Enjoy.
