That was funky. I was just checking back to see if I had in fact been a participant in a study whose results I was now reading…and discovered…they’re doing another study! This time they’ve designed an interface that allows you to replay the audio captcha from right within the anser box. It’s a beautiful interface. …

Sucking The Eyes Right Out Of Her Head
Ug. A leech stuck to your eyeball? I read that story and shrieked. I can’t decide if that’s creepier than the bee beard. I think the beard still wins because the person willingly allowed those bees to sit there.
Badda Ba Ba Ba, I’m Suin’ You
Here’s a twisted lawsuit for ya. Fran McLaren went into a McDonald’s and got lunch. There’s also a liquor store right there. Apparently, both had kicked a homeless dude out, so he was lying in a parking spot. She gave him a cheeseburger, at which point he threw it back at her and said he …
My First disservice Dog Encounter
I met my first disservice dog in person yesterday, you know, somebody’s dog who they’re saying is a service dog, but it’s obvious that the dog sstill needs some serious tweaks in training. I went to a public meeting about that roundabout they want to build in the middle of town, and in walked a …

Jeepers, Creepers, Where’d Ya Get That Peepo?
When I first read about Peepo, my reaction wasn’t exactly glowing. Now, as it floats around my head, I wouldn’t trust it with my life, but I would love to get my little hands on one to test. The basic premise is it’s another GPS solution, but it’s specifically a GPS for blinks with guide …

Use Your Words, People!
And I thought fighting over the hours of the public library was stupid. Now, police in Surrey, B.C. had to break up a fight between a married couple over the amount of violence on the TV news. Seriously. The woman was upset by the amount of violence on the news, to which her husband responded …
You Go, BMO!
Woohoo! I have just discovered that another bank has gone cool and made all their bank machines accessible to us blinks. I received a press release stating that Bank of Montreal’s bank machines talk, across the board, and I have played with one just to see if it did. And it does! It has a …
