Here’s a wee bit of unplanned audio for you all. Last night, Carin got worked up about the stupidity of a radio commercial.

Trixie Feelings Stew
I’ve been meaning to write this one for a while…but either never felt like I had the time or the mental energy to put all this stuff into words. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it justice, but I can try. Having to go back to the cane has made me realize …
Trixie Transition
So…here’s the latest about Trixie. I’ll do my best to not repeat myself from the retirement post. This will probably be long and rambling. Trix has moved into her new home, and seems to be enjoying herself thoroughly. She’s gone on huge walks and seems to enjoy them, and has even gone through a thunder …
The Problems With First Past The Post Voting Explained
The other day at work, for some reason, we got talking about the whole First Past the Post electoral system. One of my coworkers mentioned a video aboutwhat’s bad about first past the post systems as illustrated by fictitious animal kingdom candidates. Kind of a neat, easy to understand video. Enjoy.
Who Broke The Build?
Hey there. Oh my god I’m alive. I have lots to say, both big and small. Let’s start with the small. Our USB category could use some love. Just the other day, I came across the perfect thing to go in it. We’ve often talked about USB missile launchers. Now, someone has designed a program …
If Babysitters Had Commercials, They Would Look Like This

Playing catch, going fishing, watching a ball game, tagging along while dad takes a hooker to a motel room and then almost gets the both of you killed…wait, what?

The Best Anti-Bullying Strategy Is Using What We Already Have, Not Having The Government Study A New One
I’ve been thinking on and off about maybe sitting down and writing a little something about the calls for the government to institute some kind of national anti-bullying strategy. No, I don’t think it’s a good idea. You can’t legislate the normal types of human socialization that go on as we’re growing up. We already …
Pepé Le Pew Pew Pew!
Before we do anything else, hit the soundtrack, Maestro! Some of you won’t want to hear this, but there are plenty of good reasons for controlling the legal availability of firearms. For instance, if a certain Pennsylvanian didn’t own a gun, he wouldn’t have been able to shoot one of his kinfolk in the shoulder …
Stop The Presses! Some Blind People Got Married!
You’re not gonna believe this, you guys! Apparently, and this is seriously insane, blind people meet, date, fall in love and get married even though they have little to know idea what the person they’re with looks like! Really, I shit you not! check it out, it’s in the news! That’s right, the news! Somebody’s …

You Live By The Cane, You Die By The Taser
I’ve never had the chance to hold a samurai sword, but if that day should ever come, I imagine there is little to no chance of me confusing it for my white cane. The previous sentence is part of the cover letter I’m writing to attach to my application for a job as a member …
