Here’s a funky little survey I did yesterday. I guess the undergrad student is looking for participants with normal vision and those who are legally blind. Here’s the blurb about it. Hello:If you could please post this wherever you would see fit to advertise, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you! I am looking for …

My God, Even They Think So
I don’t know why I’m up right now. Probably because I’m a total idiot. But I found this, and had to put both hands over my mouth to prevent myself from shrieking like a banshee. Someone has gotten cute, and smart, and has taken this song and has gotten a bunch of synths to sing …
Found Him!
Am I seriously going to have to make a tag for dumbnuts who use flammable things in stupid ways when trying to get a little light? In this case, it was a candle held under a bed while looking for a dog. The bed lit on fire, the house was destroyed, and the dog is …
Missing Money, Missing Brains
Thanks Ann for this one. You know how to find some real doozers. These four robbery suspects should just take this whole mess as a sign that they aren’t meant for a life of crime. The story goes that Antonio Epinger, Kevin Dennis, Seluvaia Ita and Vanessa Perry robbed a restaurant late at night. They …
>I Felt The Earth Move Under My Feet. Then It Told Me To Go Left.
>Remember I said something about vibrating shoes a couple of posts back? Honest, I wasn’t just making up random things. I really have a post about vibrating shoes, vibrating GPS shoes for the blind, in fact. Well, I guess the GPS is in an Android device, but the directions will get sent to an arduino, …

Let Elizabeth May Speak
Yeah, remember what I said about being done with elections? Not so much. I forgot about this. Steve has yelled about Elizabeth May being excluded from the debates before. Funny how that wasn’t even 3 goddamn years ago. Anyway, that time, she got in. This time, she was not invited once again, and when she …
More Election-Related Things
Let’s just keep the election bandwagon rolling. I have a feeling after this post, I’m going to write about a dumbass, but hey, for now, the election train continues. Brooke over at Ruled By Paws told me about a site with a funny name but a serious message. If you want to quickly see things …
Thanks Elections Canada
This sucks. I was so happy yesterday when the votes counted at U of G. Now, I’m mad all over again. Because of that mess, Elections Canada has banned all special ballot stations at universities because another one *might* cause a similar problem. Give me a break. Just, give me a break. Everybody who cares …
Democracy 1, Conservatives 0
Yea! Yea! Yea! This morning, I was ripping mad at the conservatives, and worried that all those university students who stood in line for hours to vote wouldn’t have their voices heard. I don’t have to worry anymore. Elections Canada has ruled that although some small procedural mistakes were made, the votes will count. What’s …
Behaviour Like That Doesn’t Win Votes
I’m sorry, who is it that is being undemocratic? Who? local members of the Conservative Party of Canada, that’s who. The University of Guelph had a special polling station in the University Centre to encourage students to get out and vote. They did. Hell, people stood for hours in line to vote, and this is …
