So…it’s assistance dog blog carnival time. I missed the one in May. The sad part about that was it was originally April, then it got postponed, and I still missed it. I forget what crazy was going on at the time, but since my life is full of more crazy than not, I’ll blame crazy. …

An Awesome Classic Story I Wish I’d Seen At The Time
You know, with my crazy schedule, I was starting to worry that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with Twitter anymore. I’d come home from work, stare at the piles of tweets that had accumulated, and then promptely decide I could put my time to better use by doing…anything but reading them all. But …

United Breaks Service Dogs
Considering I just finished flying, this story gives me chills. Apparently United doesn’t just break guitars, and spirits, they break service animals too. Jim Stanek, a war veteran with a service dog, says that two United Airlines workers kicked his dog. Kicked? Why in the name of all that’s holy would you do that? Now …
The Guelph Transit Routes Post, Now With Guelph Central Station and UC Hub Goodness
Hi. It’s me, ya know, the silent one? Back in May when we did our audio blitz, I promised that I would put up a description of the bus platforms and what bus pulls into them. I said I would have it done by the end of the weekend. Um, yeah, about that. Finally, last …
A Song From The Plane
This has been in my head since I came home from San Diego. On the plane, in their entertainment selections, which I can’t select myself because it’s touchscreen *mutters under breath*, there was Just for Laughs stuff in there. Because my seatmate/coworker was kind enough to push the buttons, I listened to this song. Here …
Ray Bradburied
I heard about this a few days ago, but didn’t get a chance to write it down. Ray Bradbury dies at 91. I had read quite a few of his short stories, some of them creepy, some of them neat, some of them made you think about colonization and automation and machines in different ways. …
Hey Steve…
No, I’m not talking to our Steve. It’s the title of a video about our not so dear prime minister Stephen Harper. Next time you hear someone saying they’re going to vote Harper, just send them to this video. I think she did a fine job summing up his track record, complete with quotes from …
And Yet Another Family Falls Into This Tag
Yup, I really don’t have anything else to say except “I told you so.” Meet Charlie Codling and family, who were unfortunate enough to ask for cards from around the web for their sick little boy. Now they are begging people to stopstopstop. I don’t know why I keep posting these, except one family told …

Breakdown Of An AV Telephone Scammer
Remember back when I talked about those virus scam phone calls? Well, here’s a video of a fellow showing you just what those scammers might do to your machine. Pretty scarey stuff, and ridiculous too. There are lots of long pauses in it, so check to see if you’ve heard the whole thing. It goes …
Long Weekend Audio: Weighty Issues
The audio machine keeps on rollin’. This morning we got to do something I’ve been meaning to do for a while. I got to show you our talking scale…which sounds like my mom! It’s kinda creepy hearing a voice that sounds like your mom telling you your weight. It’s a quick one, only 10 minutes, …
