Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Here’s another video demonstrating why Grandma would not like an Amazon Echo. It doesn’t matter how many times I watch this video, it’s just as funny. I can’t help but crack up when she yells “Ok Goo goo!” It’s fascinating to watch her hitting the speaker thinking that will make it wake up. It totally …

Ever since Dave left CJOY, we haven’t had the desire to listen to it in the mornings anymore. I’m sure the guy who replaced him is trying his level best, but he’s just not Dave and it shows. So, we started listening to CKWR, and it’s kind of fun because they have so much more …
I was in a cab, and this atrocity assaulted my ears. Uuuuuuuuuug! I could end this post right here, because that is a horrible version of a beautiful song, but there is so much more I have to say. First, just in case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the original. I’m not usually …
A few weeks ago, I learned something that I thought I would pass on to other blind folks. If you ever get asked by someone to be a passport reference, if you actually get the call, among the things they will ask for is a physical description of the person for whom you are serving …
Yes, I’m back home. I went to CSUN, the first time in four years. I flew two United flights, and thankfully, they didn’t try to break me or Tansy on either one. Very good news! But I did think their safety video seemed really weird. The words were normal enough, but the surrounding music was …
After reading a story about people’s Amazon Echo devices laughing at them at random, I’m really glad I didn’t get one for my grandma. That would have scared the heck out of her, understandably! Seriously. Sometimes out of the blue, or in the middle of a conversation that has not included the word “Alexa”, or …
I didn’t realize it when I woke up yesterday, but I was going to be on the news by the end of the day. Don’t worry, it wasn’t for something scary or stupid. I guess an old friend from school ended up talking to a reporter about the problem of disservice dogs and how businesses …

I was going to put this post directly above the post about memory, but I forgot. Har har har. It looks like there’s going to be a village like Hogewey in Canada, and there might be two! The first one is supposed to open next April in Langley. Ok, am I missing something, or does …
Even though this isn’t available in Canada yet, I’m still posting about it because it’s cool. Microsoft has released another interesting app to help out us blind kids, this one is for navigation. It’s called Microsoft Soundscape. It’s kind of like Blindsquare only in a videogame-like format. As you’re walking, you will hear where points …

Steve’s post about way too much technology that is too complicated for most referenced a smart bathroom. This reminded me of an old dream I had, which I don’t think made it to the blog. I had a dream that I ended up at some kind of show. I don’t know if it was a …
