Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Between the Do Not Call List and dropping our landline last year, I don’t get nearly as many chances to screw around with telemarketers as I used to. But apparently Roger Anderson does, so much so that he felt compelled to build himself a phone answering artificial intelligence bot to automate the process. Anderson, who …

I know people are pretty upset with the Fine Brothers these days over that time they tried to trademark the groundbreaking idea of showing stuff to people and filming it along with the word react itself, but they seem to have seen sense now plus some of those videos are pretty entertaining, so if they …

I don’t know how long this video has been around, but it’s a neat idea. Both times I’ve gone to GDB, they always warn me that people find out how out of shape they are when they start training, and lots of people get shin splints and the like. I guess someone has come up …
So how long have I been under a rock? Please tell me it hasn’t been long. For as far as I can remember, I was sure you couldn’t read the captions that appear on Youtube videos, or any videos for that matter. I figured they were either images burned in, or they just moved too …

Damn you, Yukon government. I had to pick up Vitamin D today, and I couldn’t do it with a straight face, and it’s all your fault. Yup, your fault. I think I managed to suppress the giggles long enough for the person helping me find it to not wonder what was so funny about Vitamin …

Jen sent this to me via Facebook. I was in another town in a hotel, and I laughed, and I laughed, and I laughed. I didn’t stop laughing, because it’s so true for us here in KW with this LRT construction. I tell myself that it’ll be awesome when it’s done…but…until then, sing it, my …
