Sounds like Gill’s Sunday was a bit of a mixed bag. Today I went with a large group of people from my church to a local pizza place. We were raising funds for a trip the young people are taking to Wisconsin. The party was to start at one, but most of the people who …

The Dashcam Giveth And The Dashcam Taketh Away
Note to Xavier Moran: If you own one of those dashcams that records everything, there’s more than a slim chance that the word everything means exactly what you’d think it would. This is important, because not only will it have the good evidence on it that will prove you weren’t at fault in that car …

FlickType: Bringing Fleksy Back
When I first got an iPhone back in 2012, my favourite app very quickly became the Fleksy keyboard because I couldn’t touchscreen touch type for shit and it was pretty much the only way I was going to be able to text. Eventually I did learn to touch type reasonably well, but I still loved …
Add Photographs To The List Of Things That Can Now Be Faked Too Convincingly To Be Trustworthy
And the race to make sure that we’ll eventually not be able to trust any goddamn thing ever again continues. Thanks, Nvidia. The woman in the photo seems familiar. She looks like Jennifer Aniston, the “Friends” actress, or Selena Gomez, the child star turned pop singer. But not exactly. She appears to be a celebrity, …
I Probably Shouldn’t Say This
Don’t let the fact that you had records as a child make you feel old, Gill. Vinyl is big business now. If your family had an 8-track collection like mine did, let that make you feel old instead. Next October I hit a milestone when I turn 40, which has me feeling old lately. Here …
Movies And TV
I respect that everyone has their own way of doing things, but I’m so glad that my family never told me I couldn’t watch or listen to things like Gill’s did. A: It doesn’t work. Kids will always find a way to get their hands on the forbidden fruit, which tastes sweeter and is extra …
The Letter
To mark the anniversary of his death, Gill wrote a couple of letters to a dear friend. Here they are. If you read the site about four years ago at this time, you would know that the world lost one of its finest people. Here are just a few things I’d tell him if I …
No National Service Dog Team Standard! Yea!
I have a happy update to the Canadian service dog team standards story. They have scrapped it! I guess all the comments, meetings with MP\s, and whatever everyone else did convinced them that a one-size-fits-all standard does not work, as we all knew it wouldn’t. Of course, there are articles like this one that make …

The Further Adventures of Googoo and Odessa
Here’s another video demonstrating why Grandma would not like an Amazon Echo. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this video, it’s just as funny. I can’t help but crack up when she yells “Ok Goo goo!” It’s fascinating to watch her hitting the speaker thinking that will make it wake up. It totally …

Chucking My CD Collection Seems Like A Great Idea Until It Doesn’t
When I put up Gill’s last thing, I also went off on a bit of a side tangent about physical CDs and how I don’t have much use for them anymore. As often happens, one of the next things I saw completely out of the blue was a post on that very subject. The consensus …
