It’s Drunken Driving Barbie!
Wow. You can get busted for drinking and driving, even if you’re driving a Barbie car designed for toddlers. Apparently it doesn’t even go as fast as a scooter. This brings up a weird question, and I can’t remember if I’ve asked it before. Can you get a DUI for driving a wheelchair drunk? I …
Trekkin’
Back a while ago, holy crap that’s almost a month ago, I talked about getting a Trekker. Man, I can’t say enough times how much I love this thing. Due to construction, the usual bus stop I use is out of order. In fact, the entire route to said bus stop is out of order. …
The Only Thing This Book Should Kindle Is A Fire
I just finished the most horribly-written Stephen King short story I’ve ever seen. It was called UR, and judging by that link, it was to be released exclusively on the Kindle. Then someone decided to make an audiobook out of it…and that’s how I found it. I have put off writing this, in the hopes …

The other day, I briefly mentioned that I got a Trekker. But that post did not give it the amount of woooo it deserved. So, because Barb is silly, she recorded my reaction when I actually received it. Here it is. It’s a little recording of us all getting presents. Yea late Christmas. Can I …

Calling All Guelphites With HP Trekkers
Here’s a weird call. Is there anyone who lives in Guelph and has a Trekker with the HP PDA? If you do, please email me. Long story time. Barb has been telling me that she has a cool Christmas present for me and can’t wait to give it to me. Well, she finally gave it …
Holly Update
Wooohooo, I have some good news. Holly got her ABI activated! It sounds like it will be a long and difficult process, but it has begun, and it’s working. Also, she got one of those Deafblind Communicator thingies I was talking about, and she’s loving it to death. Holy crap, I’m so happy it all …
Smile For The Camera And Say "Privacy Invasion"
Here’s something that sounds positively scary, and another reason why I will never have a facebook. Never, ever, ever. There is a new application for phones being produced by a Swedish company called “The Astonishing Tribe” that is being referred to as a stalker’s dream. Why is it being called that? Well, here’s why. Say …
