Abandon Class, Or Maybe Just Trip And Fall Into The Hallway

You remember Captain Francesco Schettino, don’t you? He was the fellow tasked with piloting the Costa Concordia cruise ship the night it ran aground on an island, killing 32 people. Or perhaps you might better recall him as the man who, in the aftermath of the disaster when his decisions were called into question, told …

If You Have 20 Minutes And You Like Wrestling, Watch Bret Hart And Mr. Perfect From Summerslam 91 Again, Because It’s Still Awesome

In 1991, I hadn’t been watching wrestling for very long. We’ll say 6…no, make that 7 years. Yeah, that’s about right. And back then I did a lot of my watching on tape, usually having an idea of what I should be looking out for based on what whoever loaned me the video or wrote …

This article contains the words “modified app” and “most likely be controlled by Rogers,” neither of which sound promising. The live part of that cable …

Kids React To Even More Stuff

Apparently I’m behind on my kids reacting to stuff. Here are kids reacting to old computers, like maybe my old apple? and Game Boys. Kids really have a problem with having to put media in side devices. Walkman? computer? typewriter? game boy? It’s really weird to think about how that’s changed. I never thought about …

Service Dog Teams and Ambulances

I got this on a mailing list. It’s a video for paramedics about helping service dog teams when an ambulance is called, and I thought it was kinda neat. I learned a few things too, like I didn’t even know about those open grating things and how they can cut paws. Tansy was one lucky …
