Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
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 …

I saw this video on lip-reading and it really got me thinking. I’m always trying to educate people on how to do things better for us blind folks, what could I learn about having more readable lips? I think I know the basics, face the person, don’t mumble, don’t cover my mouth, don’t talk like …
I know this happened last week, but I still wanted to mention it. Hey, at least it was only last week, not last month, or months ago. So Harper Lee, author of “To Kill a Mockingbird”, has died. I think everyone should read that book. I can’t remember all the smaller points of the plot, …

The woman, who flew from Newark to San Francisco last week, says that when she opened her checked baggage she saw yellow stains and smelled urine, TMZ …

Hardin, the affidavit continues, was watching pornography on his personal phone when he performed a sex act on himself …
I don’t know anyone who’s been conned to a dangerous degree, but I have known people who watch, believe and may have even sent them money a time or two though I can’t prove that last one, only suspect it. Even so, I hope that if hell is a real place, that there’s an extra …
Wisconsin attorney Michael D. Petersen is a crook, a cheat, a thief and a liar. Even he would tell you so if you were to inquire about retaining his services. Why? Because he is legally obliged to do so until he finishes serving out the contempt of court sentence laid on him by Judge Philip …
