I think this post needs a soundtrack. I heard rumours about this months ago, but they were only rumours. Now it is happening. Uber is testing using driverless cars. There was a small part of me that thought “Well, at least a driverless car won’t get allergic to my guide dog.” But when I thought …

Ann Adams Is Gone
It’s been such a good long weekend for me, it’s sad that it’s been less so for others. Last March, I talked about Ann Adams, and hoped she would recover from her massive stroke. Although she seemed to get a little better, she was never able to write on her Facebook or blogs again. After …
Run For The Right Toppings While You Run From Mom
For the second time in a week, we have a Taco Bell burrito related incident. Unlike last time, the burrito wasn’t the weapon, though it can be argued that anything from Taco Bell should be considered a dangerous instrument.

I’ll Send A GPS To The World. So Will I. Me Too
One moron robbing a store while wearing his court-ordered GPS tracking monitor is bad, but not overly surprising. I mean there’s one in every crowd, right?

Helping The Folks from Fort McMurray
Whenever I think about Fort McMurray, and the fire that raged through there and burned down lots of homes and buildings, I feel this huge emptiness in my chest and this feeling of overwhelming helplessness. How do you help a community that needs so much? Well, thankfully the good people at Maclean’s have gathered up …
Come To Your Census
Another mark of passing time has come. It’s census time! Well…it was 5 days ago. I guess it wouldn’t be a VC post if it wasn’t at least a little bit late. But I figured I’d write about this because a. it might be useful to anyone who hasn’t done their census yet and is …
You’re Dead Meat! Cheeseburger Meat, To Be Specific
Let the record show that 2016’s first food feud death has taken place and involves one brother shooting another when an argument over a cheeseburger got way out of hand. A Florida man is facing first-degree murder charges after police say he shot and killed his brother during an argument over a cheeseburger. “We were …
