For some reason, this is a hard post for me to write…but here goes. Last July, a story broke about a woman’s car slamming into a London Costco, killing a 6-year-old girl and her newborn sister, and injuring their mother and other sister. Charges were laid against Ruth Berger, the driver of the car, and …

Another Carnival Is Live
Well, it looks like the carnival is up. There are some interesting entries. I think it’s fascinating that a lot of us said the same thing, that we consider a lot of our mistakes just that, mistakes, or lessons, but not regrets. Go check it out when you’re not enjoying Canada Day stuff.
Robobraille: OCR In A Pinch
I don’t know why I’ve never written about this service, but better late than never. More often than I’d like, I get a document that’s either unreadable because it’s a scanned image, semi-readable or readable if you have a million years and infinite patience. Usually, if I can put it through OCR, it can fix …
Creamy Chocolate Kill?
I figure I’ll write about Timmy’s since it’s Canada Day. It seems appropriate. A little while ago, Tim Horton’s came out with…something…called the Creamy Chocolate Chill. Wow, something is wrong with me…I’m blogging about some random food product. But there are two reasons I want to, so bear with me. When I first heard about …
It’s Canada Day. How’d We Get Here?
Soundtrack time. Yup, it’s Canada Day. Where is this year going? I hope people are finding fun things to do somewhere, just enjoying the day off. I’m probably going to be spending some time outside if the weather decides to be good. I’m just glad to be doing what I want to do. Not a …
If Doing Something Out Of The Ordinary Results In Terrified Screams, Is It A Good Idea?
Watch this commercial with your eyes closed. Seriously. Click the link and close your eyes without seeing the title. I’m not even going to embed this one because I don’t want any cheating. Before the woman starts talking, what the hell do you think is going on? I was sure it was some kind of …
Barking About BarkBox
At the beginning of this month, I got a Groupon for something called BarkBox.com. Basically, you pay a subscription fee and they send you treats and toys appropriate for your dog’s size every month. Groupon offered a discounted rate for the first 3 months, so I thought I’d give it a try. Sometimes it’s hard …
Pasta-Way
I meant to do this last week, but work has a way of sapping my brain of words and thoughts. A long time ago, I mentioned a dog named Pasta. Wow, that was almost 7 years ago, and it’s really funny to read all that stuff. Anyway, I got the sad news last week that …
A Public Apology To Trixie
Soundtrack time. So I guess there’s another Assistance Dog Blog Carnival coming up, and the deadline is tomorrow. I haven’t written in one of these since before my gallbladder surgery, woe. But the topic caught my attention, so here we go. The topic of this one is regrets. I had to think really hard, since …
From The Guys Who Brought You The Conference Calls In Real Life…
Here’s another thing I’ve been meaning to post. Remember the conference calls in real life video? Well apparently these people did more of these. So, I give you Email in Real Life. I wonder if there are more of these. I can’t decide if I like the Nigerian guy, all the me too’s, the broken …
