Gill just got back from a trip to Florida and wants to talk about it, so I’ll let her do that now. I’ve been to Florida twice myself, once for a family vacation to Disney and once to go to the Space Camp for a week as part of the coolest grade 7 field trip …

Don’t Throw Away Your Scam Emails. Send Them To The Re:Scam Bot Instead
I’m all about anything that makes online life a little bit harder for scumbags and a little bit safer for everyone else. And if everyone else can have a little bit of fun in the process, even better. So yes, I shall be doing my best to remember to forward my next email from the …

Guide Dog Questions Answered In Video Form
This video pretty much sums up so many things I have said over the years about having a guide dog. The one question she didn’t answer, which I get a lot is “how do you pick up after the dog?” Totally legitimate question which I swear I answered here somewhere, but I can’t find it. …

Rudolph The Resigning Prime Minister
Damn you, Jonathon Gatehouse. You and your National Today newsletter just ruined Christmas and Canadian history for me for the rest of time. Today in history Nov. 15, 1948: A farewell address from Prime Minister Mackenzie King — who was also apparently the voice of Sam the Snowman in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. He’s right, …

Remember This
Gill is back with a Remembrance Day message. She’s right. War sucks and we all can and have to do better. Normally I am around to write a Remembrance Day article, however this year when the day comes I will be out of town. This year I am taking things in a new direction, and …
Don’t Update To Firefox 57 Just Yet, Blind Kids
In a couple of weeks Mozilla will be releasing an update to Firefox, my current browser of choice. It’ll be version 57, it’ll go by the name Quantum, and according to the makers of JAWS and NVDA it’ll mess up your screen reader something fierce and you probably shouldn’t use it if you plan on …
