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 …

What’s Your Cup Size? And Do You Think My Balls Will Fit In There?
I’m not sure if “Japan’s busy golfing women” were screaming out forone of theseor if it’s a case of somebody building something just because he can, but either way, the Nice Cup in Bra has arrived! The green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5-meter-long putting mat. When the user sinks …

Goodbye Torsten Brand
Well damn it all. This is some pretty sad news. I’ve talked about Talks before and how cool it is. Now, I just heard that Torsten Brand, the Product Manager for Talks and Zooms, has died from complications of surgery. He was only in his 40’s. By all accounts, Torsten was an awesome individual. If …

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 …

When Burglarizing, Lock Your Keypad
Now there’s a butt call. Two kids decided to burglarize a house. But one of them inadvertently dialed 911 during the robbery. They never say if the call was a butt-call or what. Either way, a 13-year-old and a 19-year-old got caught with the loot. I wonder why they gave the 13-year-old’s name in the …
The Blackberry Skitter
After the burial of Oratio I linked to last week, I was very interested when the same site posted an interview with Michel Pepin of Humanware, all about Oratio. Ok, what is up with this guy. Is half the problem that French is his first language? He does a lot of stammering and stuttering, and …
