FreshCo Has An Accessible Flyer, But Good Luck Getting To It And Better Luck Signing Up
I’m not sure how long they’ve had one since I’ve only been using it for a little while, but if you’re blind and shop at FreshCo, I’ve got some good news. They, like Food Basics, now have a screenreader accessible version of their weekly flyer. The implementation needs more than a little work, at least …
Behold The Samurai Sword Of Soft Justice
Remember that time the British cop tased a blind guy because he thought his white cane was a samurai sword? Well, the wheels of justice have turned as the wheels of justice do, and the hammer of harsh punishment has been swung squarely in the direction of the officer in question. As such, it has …
Tans’s Dog Day Anniversary Was Yesterday
I don’t have much time to write this, but I figured I would try. Yesterday marks the anniversary of when I got Tansy. Can anyone else believe that’s possible? The only way I know for sure is that dates don’t lie. She came into my room in her maniacal fashion, and I pretty much fell …

How Come I Never Hear You Guys On The Radio?

Heds Will Roll: Where All The Headlines That Should Be In The Newspapers Go
When Carin and I write news stories, we can pretty much call them whatever the hell we want. But sadly, our “real reporter” friends don’t enjoy that same degree of editorial freedom.
