I have an update to the Meetup.com saga. 1. They say they can’t make things screenreader-accessible at this time. And when exactly will that magic time arrive? I’ve been waiting for a year. 2. They told me to go make a suggestion about this over at their user voice forums. I want everyone with a …

More InhumanWare Goodness
You know HumanWare really needs to stop committing marketing fails. Here’s another one. A couple of days ago, they sent out a message saying that everybody who buys a Victor Reader Stream in the next little while can get a free softpak that they’re selling for around 50 bucks. Then, the next day, I received …
Meetup Meets My Rage Again
Remember last September when I was talking about Meetup? Well, nothing has really changed, except I have a new reason for Meetup to piss me off. I have limped along for a year dealing with their half accessible interface. I cannot choose a Meetup place by choosing from my venues because the options to choose …
At US Airways, It’s Every Man For Himself
Thanks, Jen, for the lead on this one. So, we have learned that United breaks guitars and US Airways breaks spirits. Johnnie Tuitel, a motivational speaker with CP, was flying to one of his speaking engagements when he was told by a gate agent at US Airways that he could not fly alone because he …

Let’s Leave This Idea In The Dump Near The Consideration Stage
God, what a stupid idea this is, and I’m not just saying that because I personally don’t watch a lot of movies. According toreports,Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., and Disney are considering launching a service that would give customers the privilege of watching their films on set-top boxes before they come out on DVD or Blue-ray, …

I Hate To Split Hairs, But This Ain’t A Splitter!
Remember when I was ragging on HumanWare and I said I was afraid the power-splitter would arrive sans end? Well, yesterday, my fears were realized. What I got was a doo dad that would hook into the charger, leading out to three even wires. None of them had the cable connector required to connect splitter …

HumanWare Is Losing Its Humanity
I have to tell a little story, because I feel it needs to be told. It starts off with me being a dumb silly person. When I went to Barb’s place last weekend, I decided to take my Trekker with me. Since I knew that it would need a recharging after it was on all …
Saving You From Some Trouble On The Internet And Beyond
I haven’t had much to say the last couple days (energy sapping migraines will do that to ya), but I’m starting to feel a bit better so I thought I’d pop in with a couple of helpful links that will hopefully save you some trouble down the line. I have no interest in Facebook whatsoever, …

Hey Dave Caroll, Wanna Write Another Song?
Yikes! Apparently United breaks guitars, and Air Canada breaks custom-made $15000-wheelchairs of kids with Muscular Dystrophy. But thanks to some major tweetage, they’re repairing his chair and they’ve given him a replacement, sorta. But it’s going to take a while because these things are custom-built. Here’s a novel idea, airline people. Be careful with the …

August Long Weekend Audio
Boy oh boy do I have a monstrosity for you! Remember how we said our Canada Day audio would never be heard by the world? Well, that still holds, so we decided to try again. And we created something even longer and crazier than that one! We didn’t mean to, honest. We just sat down …
