Wow. I can’t decide if this miserable attempt at an explanation for what happened is worse than the guy who said he touched the little girl because he was too blind to see who she was, or the guy who flashes people walking alone to show them how vulnerable they are. Bryan Hearron said the …

So I guess The Drugs Did Their Job?
A little heads up, courtesy of sprinter LaShawn Merritt. Something you should not say after being banned from athletic competition for taking penis-enlargement drugs: “To know that I’ve tested positive as a result of a product that I used for personal reasons is extremely difficult to wrap my hands around,” Your hands? Well, maybe, if …
What The Buck?
Judging from this article describing Principal Andrew Buck’s stance on textbooks, er, text books, every single family should withdraw their children from the Middle School for Art and Philosophy. I think they could find another school. here is an image of the letter. I cannot find a copy that I can put through OCR so …
I Got The World Series I Wanted
I’m not entirely prepared to say that I’m not ascursedas originally feared, but a Giants Rangers World Series is a positive step in that direction. The Giants were the only team to survive my good will from beginning to end, and the Rangers, who became my favourite baseball team by virtue of simply playing the …
Their Scheme Faded Just Like The Ink
If only we’d had a blog back in 1996. If we had, this story of two teenagers trying to write bad cheques in invisible ink would be so up here. But then again, I didn’t even have an email address in 1996, and the word blog didn’t exist. But this appeared in Snopes yesterday and …
An Alternative Flash Player Updater Update
Hmmm. I can see many long-winded titles in my future. Well, Mr. wecode.biz is very very fast on the email! I’ve already got a response, and it appears I was unfair to the poor fellow.

Hunting For Hope For Hunter Scott’s Family
The family of Hunter Scott had better set up a PO box for the birthday cards. Do it before it’s too late. If you don’t, well, you’ll feel like the other families with whom you share this tag. Please, please do that. There may be still time since your address wasn’t stuck in the email.
Doing A Little Research
I’ve mentioned sometimes that I’m on the Guelph Barrier-Free Committees, and sometimes I’ve plugged events we’ve put on. We’re right in the middle of another project, so I figured I’d plug it here. I never know who reads, so I might as well use anything I’ve got to spread the word. Here’s the little blurb. …
