Wow. First we had porn for the blind in audio form. Now, someone is trying to make raised dirty pictures! I’d like to see one…but I just can’t imagine getting turned on by some bumps. I was never good at tactile maps, and in this case I think I’d be too busy concentrating on what …

Well At Least Help Would Have Been Nearby
Damn this story. “Hat and Feet” by Fountains of Wayne is in my head. And damn it, I can’t find a way to link to it. Grayson Peterka is one lucky boy. His parents should go buy a lottery ticket in his honour. Peterka and his family were enjoying themselves at a family barbecue, when …

The Only Thing This Book Should Kindle Is A Fire
I just finished the most horribly-written Stephen King short story I’ve ever seen. It was called UR, and judging by that link, it was to be released exclusively on the Kindle. Then someone decided to make an audiobook out of it…and that’s how I found it. I have put off writing this, in the hopes …

Loose Standards On Loose Dogs
After that brief interlude of drunken stupidity, here’s another serious post. Jen sent me this, and it said we were free to circulate it, so here’s my attempt to circulate. I remember Helen McFadyen. I found her blog when I was talking about that horrible letter-writing campaign from CNIB that had Jim Sanders’s name falsely …
And Now, It’s Time For The Seventh Inning Blech!
I think the most I saw at a ballgame in terms of disorderly conduct was a dude mooning someone. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone deliberately throw up on a kid. Yeah, the kid was 11. That says something about the deliberate puker, Matthew R. Clemmens. And to Mr. Clemmens, I say ha ha …

Elmhirst Packaging: Making It Easier To Be Green
Here comes a post to make up for me not posting on Thursday to mark the anniversary of Trix coming home. At least this one’s only 3 days late. Remember when I ranted about the hell I went through over mutt mitts? Well, it came time to get new bags, and hell if I was …

Happy Belated Birthday Trix
Ok, here comes the post in honour of Trix’s birthday. On April 9, she turned 5. My pooch is 5! Nobody believes me that she’s that old, but she is. I can scarcely believe that it’s been three years that I’ve had her. But the blog doesn’t lie, hahah! So let’s do a general update. …
A Trixie Dog Day Post, Long Overdue
You know what’s sad? This year, I failed to blog about Trix on any of her big days, which is a horrible shame. I made a promise to myself that I would always have a post up about her marking each of her dog days and birthdays and anniversaries of her coming home with me. …
We Can All Smile Now
Well, that sure didn’t take long. Remember the story of the girl who said she was burned by a bar-code scanner? Well, her case was dismissed. Woohoo, that was easy.
Spoken Math Survey
I got this from a list I’m on. Someone is trying to figure out how to render math equations in a comprehensible way when they are presented by speech only. It’s a bitch to be able to take a math equation and understand all the intricacies of root symbols, exponents and brackets when you’re dealing …
