I wonder why Charles Edward Meinhart Junior just had to visit his dad so badly. His dad was in jail, and he came in to see him, looking a little drunk. When he was informed that it wasn’t visiting time, he lost it, and got himself arrested. Not only that, but while officers were talking …

Robo…Dog?
I saw this a while ago, and have been meaning to write about it. Some japanese scientists have invented a robotic guide dog. What I don’t get about this is they say they invented it due to the rapidly aging population. So…there aren’t enough guide dogs to go around? Is that the reason? Why would …
Observations, Updates, And Other Goofiness
Here comes another giant pile of thoughts. The other day, the oldies radio station was on and The Poppy Family That’s Where I Went Wrong came on. And, unbidden, my only thought that came out loud and clear was “oh that poor bus stranger!” At that point I just started laughing. I didn’t feel one …

More Songs About Roundabouts
What is with people wanting to sing about roundabouts? First up we had the roundabout dance for pedestrians, next up was the roundabout dance for drivers. Now, in Ireland, a driving instructor has written yet another roundabout song. Now there’s a fellow who says “aboot”. Something about this song is strangely catchy. Drivers might learn …
Life, #Twittereen, #Movember, And Other Things
Hi there. It’s me, ya know, the absentee blogger. I haven’t really had much to say in the last little while. Not on email, not on Twitter, not on the blog, not anywhere. But that’s ok. I’m surviving, that’s what matters. I’m surviving, and attempting to expand this very little brain. By consequence, when I …

>Shirley Not!
>I should be asleep, but I’m a fool. I’m trying to drag myself out of an epic news Twitter hole, the result of not looking at it for days due to work. And…I found this horrible update. Remember Shirley Anderson? That woman who abandoned her kids and then tried to make them take care of …
JustEat Is Just Neat
Oh my god I’m writing a blog post before I go to work. Hey, maybe this is a good sign that I’m getting into the swing of things and will be able to post more often. This is another one I’ve been meaning to write for a while. A long time ago, I was on …
Hmmm…Maybe It’s Time To Change A Password Or Two.
I received this a couple of weeks ago, and keep meaning to put it up, but keep forgetting. Remember back when I was talking about the mugged in London scam? Well, here’s a detailed account of what could happen to you if you get hacked. It’s pretty scary. Not only could your friends start sending …

Brailling Signs Is Cool To Do…Just Not In Song
Steve called it when he mused that the song I’m about to inflict upon you would enter the ranks of blinddollars.org. You know, the sentiment is great, and it might get the point across. But ugga yugga bugga! Maybe I just can’t stand corny. But because having more Braille signs would rock my life, and …

Elections Ontario Accessible Voting Survey
Update: Blindies, you must take this survey either with NVDA or via phone. Part way through it becomes inaccessible if you’re using JAWS. There’s a place where you have to specify your knowledge level with various voting options…but there are no form fields I can see. At least it is more doable than I thought. …
