Friggin YouTube Ads…
Everybody has the right to make a dollar. I respect that. But these ads on YouTube videos are getting way the hell out of hand. I just watched a 47 second video preceded by, no joke, a 2 minute advertisement. And this isn’t the first time this has happened. Not by a long shot. I …
I Need A Helper To Assist Me With Understanding Homestead Taxi’s No Blind People Policy
Thankfully, beyond the odd one trying to rip me off now and then, I’ve never really had a problem with a cab company. Poor Carin has had a few minor scrapes, but I think those are mostly attributable to her having a dog. Right or wrong (it’s unquestionably wrong), I understand reactions like “aaaaaaaaaahhhhh, I’m …
Sony And Amazon Don’t Think You Should Be Reading This Post, Blind Person
Why do companies that make products and provide services I enjoy have to be such complete and total discriminatory arseholes? Check out these utterly absurd reasons why Sony and Amazon don’t think they should have to comply with the Twenty-first Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010, which mandates that electronic devices be made …

Is The Place Called Little Temples Because We Need To Pray That The Kids Don’t End Up As Dumb As The Owner?
Since this is a story about kids and their daycare, let’s play a game. I’m going to tell you a tale and you’re going to guess what happened to this teacher. Michelle Hammack was inside her classroom at the Little Temples Childcare in Jacksonville, when she suddenly smelled smoke. “I just leaned over and peeked …
Companies And The People Who Market Them Have Decided We Might Be Too Stupid For Microwave Popcorn
Honest, they have. If they haven’t, tell me how you’d spin this right here. “Microwave popcorn at its inception was all about convenience, having only to wait three minutes to get warm, delicious popcorn,” said Colleen Bailey, Orville’s brand director. But “as times have changed, the definition of convenience has changed.” “You don’t have to …
Canada’s Wireless Market Is Pretty Awful, And I’m Not Sure How Much The New Rules Will Help
As you surely know if you stop around here with any degree of regularity, I could spend hours rattling off everything that’s wrong with the state of media and communications in Canada. And even though it’s one of those things I’ve gotten unfortunately good at, in doing so I could still probably miss an issue …
United Breaks Geography
I was thinking to myself the other day that it had been a while since United Airlines broke anything. Have they finally started to shape up or have I just not been on the ball enough, I wondered. Of course, this being United, the answer is a resounding column B. An English Springer Spaniel named …
If You Require Assistance, Talk To Us About A Refund. You Won’t Be Going Anywhere On Our Watch
So this is pretty stupid. Blind Trafford pals lose dream holiday because they can’t watch flight safety information This is bad news for Carin, who is a blind and increasingly frequent air traveler. Oh, and I’m sure it also sucks for the many thousands of other blind people who have been flying around the globe …
Yes Telus, Being Robbed Blind Is Awesome
Nearly without fail, anybody who hears about or has any experience with Canada’s Cellular phone industry comes away with the same impression. Good lord is it ever massively overpriced. It’s gotten so bad in comparison to pretty much anyplace else that the CRTC has finally started paying attention, holding hearings on the state of things. …
