That was funky. I was just checking back to see if I had in fact been a participant in a study whose results I was now reading…and discovered…they’re doing another study! This time they’ve designed an interface that allows you to replay the audio captcha from right within the anser box. It’s a beautiful interface. …

Make Sure Those Seeing Eyes Are Seeing Well.
Some people probably think I’m crazy for doing this, but what the heck?

I’m sad to say it looks like owner-trained service dogs are excluded…unless they have some kind …

Just For Laughs Puts On A Good roadshow
I feel like such a loser that I haven’t written about this until now. I mean, the show was Wednesday. Oh well, better late than never. On Wednesday, Steve and I went to the Just for Laughs Roadshow at the River Run Centre and it was awesome. If it’s coming to your town and it’s …
Public Transportation Survey
It’s been a slow day for the blog, so I thought I’d at least post this. I get the sense this survey is only intended for americans, but what the heck, I filled it out and it didn’t ask me where I was from, so they can do what they want with my data. It’s …

So, they’re conducting a survey. If you use a screen-reader at all and want to help, go fill it out here. My only big …
A Treasure Trove of Old Stuff
The other day, I heard about a cool site full of mp3 copies of children’s records from days gone by. Apparently a bunch of them were from the 40’s and 50’s. I still went to see if I could find something I listened to as a kid. Yes, I listened to records as a kid. …
Yakedy Yak, I Love Yak Trax
Remember back when I talked about my quest for Yaktrax? Well, it came to an end in an unexpected way. The other day, the ice started to form. I think I first noticed it Monday night or Tuesday. I called the store I’d called before, the one who tried to sell me smalls when I …
