Cell Phone Camera Study

Ooo! Another study! I just received this yesterday. I think Steve should participate, because he takes awesome blind guy pictures. If I participate, I can show a good example of a blink failing at snapping a good picture. Just between the two of us, there’d be the two extremes haaha! Here are the details. Hi, …

She Won’t Get The Job, But She’ll Have No Problem Getting The Conviction

Here’s a dumb thing to do. Steal some clothes from a store, then come back to said store to apply for a job, leave your resume, then steal some more, while wearing recently-stolen clothes! It’s been done. This unnamed woman showed up to apply for a job at a clothing store. After handing over her …

I Have A Brother-In-Law!

It’s Monday, and I’m still feeling kinda dopy and tired. I guess that’s to be expected after the crazy Saturday Steve and I had. Don’t worry, it was a good crazy! My sister got married! Yup, eek. I now have a brother-in-law. He’s a cool guy. They’ve been together a while, he’s been a friend …

I Now Pronounce You…Dead!

This unnamed bride-to-be should thank the trooper who stopped and ticketed her. Otherwise, the night could have ended much differently. Maybe the bride-to-be would have been wearing her wedding dress as her funeral dress. She was coming home from her bachelorette party and had had some booze. But she was going to drive home. She …

Even If He’d Won, He’d Still Be A Loser

Hmmm. I think Erick Lee Blanton is feeling a wee touch insecure about his arm-strength. Either that, or he’s a small child trapped in a man’s body. Maybe it’s a little bit of both. The story goes that Blanton, while at a friend’s house, challenged him to a wrestling match. Blanton lost, and didn’t like …

She Told Him To Get Lost, But Her Description May Help Cops Find Him

Wow! Both the clerk and the robber are lucky in this case. A robber walked into a gas station, waited for all the customers to be gone, and then told the 65-year-old clerk that this was a robbery, to give him all her money or he’d shoot her. She told him to get lost, and …

Please Don’t Water The Exhibits

You know it’s bad when so many people use the toilet exhibit at a museum as a real toilet that the museum gives in and turns it into a real toilet. This story especially caught my attention today because of something that happened on Saturday. We were at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and in …

Spottedbird Has A Spotted Neck

Royce J. Spottedbird Jr. has joined the ranks of those who have pulled a wolfname. Crazy that he’s the fifth fellow in two years to do this. If you have your name tattooed on your neck, even though you may think you have warrants out for you, you shouldn’t give a false name. If you …

Cell Phones And Accessibility of Emergency Messages Study

This cell phones and emergency services study will probably be our only post for the day, but hey, it’s something. Here are the study details. Researchers at the Neil Squire Society in cooperation with the Canadian Association of the Deaf, the Canadian National Institute for the Blind and the Manitoba League of Persons with Disabilities …
