Here’s a little warning for everyone. If you get an email from a friend of yours that says they got mugged while in England, and now can’t get home without your help, don’t believe it.

My Interview
Well, on Friday I mentioned I was getting interviewed on CFRU. Here is the result. You can also go to the Royal City Rag website and click on past shows and listen via the little flash player thingy. But since it is encoded as opaque, us screenreader-users can’t click the buttons, so she was kind …
Homeowners Screwing Homeowners
Wow! This Homeowners’ Association definitely went to the Chick Edwards school of Prickish Homeowners’ Associations. The story goes that Michael Clauer went away to fight in Iraq, and his wife fell into a deep depression. The mail started piling up, and she wasn’t opening any of it. In that mail pile were some bills from …
So…How Did You Two Meet?
Aww. What a story! Two people were both thinking about ending it all. They both came to the same bridge to jump. But he stopped her from jumping, and they fell in love! Wow! What are the odds? Andriej Ivanov and Maria Petrova should buy some lottery tickets. They are the luckiest pair ever.
Who Wants A Can Of Plop?
Ug! I did think about making a float, ya know, with pop and ice cream, but after reading this story of something else floating in a kid’s soda, that craving is gone. It ran for the hills, calling for mamma. What in hell would possess someone to crap in someone’s soda? And that’s a strange …

I’m About To Say Something Stupid!
Oh boy. Time to add something you shouldn’t do to our list.don’t text someone about how you’re about to rob someone, and then drop your phone at the scene, and don’t say “I’m about to commit a crime” on your phone right outside somebody’s window before breaking into the neighbour’s house. Got that, Kevin Wayne …
You Never Count Your Money, When You’re Stickin’ Up The BK, There’ll Be Time Enough For Countin’, When The Getaway’s Done
So, we established that you shouldn’t text while holding someone at gunpoint. Now, we think it’s a good idea to change that rule to “just don’t put the gun down.” If Jason Robinson had followed this rule, he wouldn’t have set the gun down to count the money he just stole. He also wouldn’t have …
When I Think About This, My Mind Goes Reel
Edit: Hey, family with the kids in the video. Get your video here, red hot! I wish I could find the song…but I can’t, but I still want to talk about it. Has anyone else heard the Toyota commercial with a song in it that sounds like it’s saying “This smile, I’m giving you to …

Accessibillity News: It’s Already Taught Me Something
A while ago, I learned about this cool little weekly email called Accessibility News. I finally got subscribed, and what do I see in the first issue I receive?
