Do me a favour. Read this article all about how periods at the ends of sentences in text messages now mean that you’re angry at the person you’re writing to and see if it makes any sense to you, because I understand about 0 of it. Honest to god, in a million years I would …

So There’s A New Diet Chip…Mmm…Chips…
I heard about the possibility of a computer chip to help people diet, and even though I can see what they’re going for, the part of me that’s studied psychology and watched Sci Fi movies gets a wee smidge freaked out. So this chip is supposed to send a signal, based on your blood fat …
Abraham Nemeth-Life=So Long
I meant to write about this back when it happened in October, but did I? Nope. I read that Dr. Abraham Nemeth, inventor of the Nemeth Code, had dide. My first thought was “Nemeth Code is that recent?” Braille feels so old, even though in the grand scheme of things it’s not, that I assumed …
Will The Turtle Be Unbroken?
What is it about this song about a falling turtle that never stops making me chuckle? Also, don’t you think the guy sounds like Ed robertson from Barenaked Ladies? Don’t know who that is? now you do. It’s been almost a month, and I’m still going to it so I can chuckle again. I’m easily …
When Winter Falls
Sorry for the slowness round here this week. I needed a bit of brain rest, then we got some sad news we weren’t expecting, and now I’m fighting off and mostly whooping the ass of some sort of cold type thing. It’s amazing what you can do and how quickly you can do it when …
I’ve Wondered That Myself
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl was mesmerized by the whole spectacle. Finally, she leaned over and whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?” “Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life,” her mother explained, trying to keep it …
Smack And Cheese
I’ve never had to live with a person who uses all of the macaroni and cheese cheese and leaves the rest of us nothing but noodles, but I imagine it would be annoying. So it’s perfectly reasonable that 54-year-old Brian Rossi, upon having just such an experience perhaps not for the first time, requested that …
Traditions And Memories
Here again is Gill, this time talking holiday traditions and memories. Here come the holidays! Like it or not you will probably go somewhere with your family. You probably also have traditions that have gone back generations, like the sumtuous turkey dinner with all the trimmings, or the joining of hands to say the blessing. …
Looks Like The Book Is Closed On His New Hobby
I’ve heard of being banned from a single library, from every library in town or even every library in the county. But being told to stay out of every library on earth as a condition of your $1000 bond? Pretty sure that’s a new one. But that’s what happened to Tyree S. Carter of Racine, …

Run And Spill My Curly Fries, Run And Spill My Curly Fries…
How about a soundtrack? Good luck getting that out of your head. And the Newsroom 11 intro at the end just made me feel every bit of old that the commercial hadn’t already gotten around to. Now on to business. Pretty much immediately, we get a good sense that there’s something not quite right about …
