Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I was looking up some stuff for another post that I want to do, and I discovered something neat that I never knew about. Apparently, there are some roads in the US that have been built with grooves in them, so if you drive at the right speed, 45 miles per hour, they sing a …

The conversation Steve and I had about empanadas reminded me of a time when I asked Google something, and I think the AI, if it could, would have looked at me and said “Are you that stupid?” If you ask Google what is the difference between two things, even if they’re not that similar, the …
I have so many posts that I want to write that it’s kind of overwhelming, and my brain starts spinning, and then no posts come out. For one, I have accumulated over a year’s worth of sleep-talking in the comments that I need to get written up. And then there are the other posts that …
When I was in high school, I read a book called the Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. It had a lot of really deep stuff that I don’t think I truly grasped until I read it a second time. There was one story, though, that freaked me out even the first time I read it, …
Remember back five years or so ago when the Ontario government was making people sign up to receive health card and driver’s license renewals electronically because they were no longer sending out print notices?

I saw something really really stupid that I just can’t make sense of, so I had to write it down. Picture this. It’s January in KW. Not only is it January, but it’s this past January, you know the one where if it wasn’t snowing its face off, it was impossibly cold. Someone walks into …
For one reason or another, I’ve been strolling down memory lane through the blog a lot. Sometimes it’s because of the drugs our related posts plugin is on, and sometimes it’s just because. At any rate, I came upon this post where I described trying to make Braille alphabet cards myself. It’s funny how your …
Steve was helping me out finding links for my WaddleLoo post and came upon the story of Dom’s kindred spirit. “Why do you say that?” I hear you asking. “Was he a golden retriever? Maybe he was a guide dog.” Nope. He loved chasing geese a wee bit too much, and chased one out onto …

When I was at the CSUN assistive technology conference last year, I was walking around the exhibit hall checking out whatever I could check out. There’s never enough time to see everything, and I always stumble onto things I had no idea were even there. One of those things was the Braille Doodle. It’s a …
