Well, doesn’t this just swell the Olympic pride and make the old heart overflow with joy. Cleaners at the Olympic Park are being housed ten to a room at a huge temporary compound. The campsite in East London, hidden from public view, has 25 people sharing each toilet and 75 to each shower. They sleep …

It’s always lovely when things like this happen in your town at places you walk past all the time. And who the hell does this kind of thing during lunch hour at an open bank where there’s likely to be witnesses and where help is never far away? The incident happened around 12:20 p.m. at …

It’s things like this that make me think that, in spite of all the great accessibility work they’ve done, Apple kind of sucks.

Jim Stanek, a war veteran with a service dog, says that two United Airlines workers kicked his dog. Kicked? Why in the name of all that’s holy would you do that? Now …
Hi. It’s me, ya know, the silent one? Back in May when we did our audio blitz, I promised that I would put up a description of the bus platforms and what bus pulls into them. I said I would have it done by the end of the weekend. Um, yeah, about that. Finally, last …
This has been in my head since I came home from San Diego. On the plane, in their entertainment selections, which I can’t select myself because it’s touchscreen *mutters under breath*, there was Just for Laughs stuff in there. Because my seatmate/coworker was kind enough to push the buttons, I listened to this song. Here …
So…sure has been a while, eh? Seems that last time either of us wrote something it was July 11th. It’s now July 21st. I’d say I was sorry for the quiet time, but honestly, I’d be lying if I were to do that. Carin still exists but not around here so much, and to be …
