Ro talked about this yesterday, and I should have posted it then, but I didn’t see it until late. There is a student at the University of Illinois (at least I think that’s what U of I is) who is trying to figure out a new way to make a guide dog harness so that …

She Said He Heard
Thanks Martin for this one. This little, hmmm, shall we say glossary of terms to help men deal with women, sums up exactly what makes me ashamed to be a woman. But before we begin our lesson in female annoyances, I think we need a themesong, courtesy of the Bud Light Institute. God this song …
A Big Article On Our Little Project
Remember back when I mentioned the recreation project Guelph Barrier-Free Committees is doing? Well, Steve urged me to send the little blurb to the Guelph Tribune and see what happens. So, I did, and holy crap, we got a story! And, it’s working! We’ve already had a few phone calls and emails! This is good. …
Motel 6: We Don’t Leave Cameras On You
Maybe pranks like this one are the reason the Sheraton has such fancy phones where you actually have to name the person you’re calling before you get through.

Tim Hortons, Now With Debit!
Woohoo! This is pretty good news. In a few days, I can go in to Tim Hortons and pay by debit! Yes! Yes! It’s always such a pain. If I decide I want Timmy’s, I have to make sure I have cash. What if I don’t know where the nearest bank machine is? What if …
Santa In Audio-Ho-Ho
Here’s a little something I got from Jen. But first, I have to ramble for a second. When I was a kid, I never did the letter to Santa thing the way most kids do it. Most kids write their letter, maybe they get a little help, they address it and send it off, and …
