Woe. Here’s something you don’t see every day. A guy got his hands on a 1964 modem, and brought it online. This thing was as simple as she gets. It wasn’t even close to a digital modem. 300 Bod. Hello. You know what’s funny? My parents would have been around in this modem’s era, but …

Down With Helmets…And Vital Signs
Maybe it’s insensitive of me to laugh at the fate of Philip A. Contos, but oh well, what are ya gonna do? Motorcyclist killed in anti-helmet rally. He wasn’t wearing any head protection, lost control of his bike and pumpkin smashed his melon on the pavement. And naturally, police say he likely would have survived …
Kids From Hell
It’s been a while since I’ve come across a video of kids who are better than me and probably you at music, but if you like those, today is your lucky day. This is a group of music students from Lexington, Kentucky rocking the bejesus out of Pantera’s Cowboys from Hell. According to the video …
Roselle Is Gone
I just heard this a couple of days ago. Everybody and their brother’s cousin’s sister’s uncle has heard the story of Michael Hingson and his guide dog Roselle, and how they not only got out of the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001, but how they helped others too. Well, she has passed away …

Real-Feeling Unreality
A couple of people who I follow on Twitter were sending this around. I thought I’d link it here. Watch this video, and get an idea of what it feels like to have severe auditory and visual hallucinations. What uber weirded me out was someone knocked on my actual door at the spot where it …
The Guide Pup Grew Up!
Remember back, I think it was last June, when I found the Growing Up Guide Pup Videos? My god it was a year ago today when I found them! Well, Here’s the final episode. It looks like Ricki is way too attracted by squirrels to be a guide dog. But they think she could be …
Late Breaking News. Very, Very Late
A while ago, Carin and I stopped watching our local CTV News At 6. We’ve flirted with this idea on and off over the years, but in the end our old person spirits would always win and we’d go back. The problem with the CTV news isn’t that the personalities are bad or that we …
Even If It Was Standing Still, He Still Wouldn’t Be Quicker Than That Car
You hear stories all the time about people running onto the field at sporting events, but somebody doing it during a Formula One exhibition? That’s a new one.
