This is probably going to be the most boring post ever. I hope it helps someone. Last year, I came home early for Christmas. I had hardly any of my family’s gifts bought, and frankly didn’t have a flaming clue what to get anyone. Mom mentioned to me that she had every book in the …

Ryan’s Quality Pet Food Is A Quality Store
I’ve been full of negativity and criticism today, and already have a post waiting in the wings where I completely rip apart what a hotel calls service, so I felt like some positivity would be nice. Hey everybody in Guelph and the surrounding area. If you have a pet, if you can, get your food …

More Ways To Help Holly
Remember Holly? Well, she’s still struggling along, and she’s also moved. I hope her new community is a little more helpful. At any rate, she now has a Cafepress store where you can buy everything from bumper stickers to mugs to mouse pads to hoodies. I’m not a big fan of how much money Cafe …
Princess Diary
Back in the comments under the touch-sight camera post, Nikki said she liked our blog and wondered if she could have a plug. Why sure! Anybody who likes us deserves mention, hahaha! For those who enjoy it when Trixie pops upt to speak, you’ll love her blog. It’s a whole blog from the perspective of …
Matt Abuses His Power
Isn’t it sad that I consider the ability to write on a blog to be “power”? Oh well. So this is certainly a long shot. But in the event that you live in the Ottawa Valley and either, are in a position to hire, or know someone who is – please e-mail me. I have …
Another Guide Dogs Blog
Here’s another cool blog to look at. There is a group of GDB Alumni called Guide Dog Handlers All Ways. They are folks who have other disabilities aside from blindness. They have set up a blog where you can read their stories. I think everybody who has other disabilities aside from blindness and thought having …
Guide Dog Health Survey
I received this on a guide dog list, and the message asked that it be distributed far and wide, so here’s my attempt. Dear Guide Dog Handler: Morris Animal Foundation, the world’s largest nonprofit foundation dedicated to funding research studies to protect, treat and cure animals, has received a grant from the Laura J.

Captcha Study
Woe! Somebody at the University of Washington’s computer science and engineering department is doing a way cool study that anyone who has a hate on for any form of captcha should participate in. Captchas are those…what did I call them? fucking blasted son of a bitch goddamn piece of shit graphical word verification thingies? Yeah, …
Guide Blogs For The Blind
Har har. Aren’t I funny? Probably not. Oh well. First, GDB went and got a podcast. Now, they have a blog! It’s called “no bones about it”, oh har har har har, and I think it will end up being pretty cool. I had to kind of get mad at them about the first post …
Distance Perception Study
I just thought I’d link to a cool study being done so that perhaps it would help get more participants. Martin Talbot is a PHD student in human computer interactions at the University of Waterloo. He’s trying to design a navigation system for blind people. But unlike the makers of the Swan and the Mygo, …
