Update: She’s been found! On Friday, while reading about all the snow and freezing rain and lack of buses and all that stuff, I saw a disturbing tweet about a recently spayed female cockapoo named Candy that ran away, with flexi-leash still attached, in the Woodlawn and Victoria Road area. Now, for those of you …

The Guide Dog Obstacle Course
Holy crap where is time going? It’s carnival time again. And I was an extra big loser and didn’t post the link to the October carnival when it came out. I’ll blame having a brand spankin’ new job for that little slip-up. Ah well, I’ll do better this time. The subject of this carnival is …
No! Person, down! Good Person!
The other day I came to a realization that I just had to right down. Ok, everybody who has a dog knows this. If they’ve been working to train a dog, and the dog’s getting the message that a certain behaviour, like counter surfing or picking stuff up off the floor or chewing on stuff …
Trixie Scoop
I think Trix needs a little bit of chatter. It’s been a long time since I’ve devoted a post just to Trix and only Trix. Trix got her new tag, or doggy bling as some call it. It’s funny. Every year, for a while, she sounds different with her new tag on. I put the …
Thought Explosions About #SpikeMobileCCC and other things.
Here comes another monster o thoughts. While I’m doing the laundry, I might as well write a blog post. This whole being out of town part time thing has taught me that I suck at time-management. I was always able to get by since I had lots of flexibility to get stuff done. I didn’t …

Sploosh Splosh Swimmin’ In A Thought Pool
It’s random thought splatter time. Put on your rubber boots, this thought puddle’s a doozer. Like every year, I have to get my silly Christmas shopping talk in there. When December started, I was flipping out, I’d hardly bought anything, and it was…what was Steve’s word? De-fucking-cember? I can’t find it, but ya know. Anyway, …

It’s The Occupy VC Cast
Well, it is here. The Occupy VC Cast, the Occucast, whatever you want to call it, it’s here…and it’s about to occupy about 2 hours of your time. It would be awesome if you found it 99% funny. We divided it into 4 parts. It would have been only 3, but well, ya see, I’m …
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 …

Weekend Audio: Lunchless Lunches, Shattered Bowls And Talking Beer Koozies
At longish last, audio is back! This piece should have gone up last week, but due to the small matter of it not being recorded until right now, that didn’t happen. On this here 18.5 minute adventure into something or other, we touch on such topics as the good and bad of the #LunchUpGuelph event …
