Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I like this commercial for the most part, but it has one major flaw. If Paul has COVID but doesn’t know it, how did he end up getting tested, which gave him the code, which he entered into the app, bla bla bla? If you’re not symptomatic, you’re probably not getting a test which won’t …

Admittedly I don’t know shit about shit when it comes to the safe and proper administration of vaccines, so maybe there’s a solid reason for all of this carrying on about how reserving doses so that people are able to get their second COVID shot is all of a sudden bad. But what I do …
I just saw this and wanted to link to it. I used to listen to Earl Harrison review technology on ACB Radio’s Main Menu years ago. I also ran into him at a GDB convention once. I was on a mailing list with his wife some time ago. Now I just read that he is …
Welcome to our new lockdown, Ontario. Because of this occasion, I updated an old Christmas favourite with words for the present circumstances.

As this stupid virus drags on, I’m happy I’m not having as many dreams about it as I did at the beginning. But I still have had a couple wacky ones so I thought I would write them down. The first one was the longest and most drawn out. I had it a few months …
I had a good laugh when I saw this news story about Santa being deemed an essential worker. How very smart of everyone. I think if we were kids in the pandemic, we would have been all worried that Santa couldn’t come during the lockdown. Heck, if we were going to go to Grandma’s on …
Remember when I had that dream about sweating Coronavirus? Well, we might, and dogs might be able to smell it. In this new study, researchers based in France and Lebanon took sweat samples from the underarms of a total of 177 patients from four hospitals in Paris and one in Beirut — 95 had tested …
As I sit here the day after Steve’s birthday, I feel a bit bewildered. How did we get here? The year went fast, but it feels especially fast since this year had no great big fun events since March. Wow, I totally suck and never commented on Steve turning 40 last year. I guess to …

Looks like they’ve found another use for our pal Pepper the bank bot. She’s now tooling around a mall in France reminding people to wear masks. I sure hope nobody’s beaten her up. Some folks can get awful touchy about that. If you want to give her a knock or two for the bank stuff …
