So…I need some guidance from folks with functioning eyeballs, or maybe someone who has owned one of these before. I asked Twitter, but nobody responded. I don’t know if it was because the tweet got lost in the shuffle or the image was so ugly that no one dared tell me so, but there it …

This Might Get Jian Gho-Messy…
Um, what a day yesterday. I’m scrolling through tweets…and…huh? Jian Ghomeshi? Fired? Huh? Suing the CBC? Huh? Where in the world did that come from? He was just taking some time off for personal reasons. And then Jian Ghomeshi put up his own statement saying why he thinks it happened, and…then things got interesting for …
No, This Isn’t A Scene From A Movie
Here’s a video describing the final exchange of fire between the ottawa shooter and the Sergeant-at-Arms. So I guess this is why there were pictures going around on Twitter saying “Don’t mess with the Sergeant-at-Arms.” Yeah I’ll say. Holy crap! He’s some kind of gun ninja! I feel sorry for the librarian…that must have been …
Everybody Get Your First-Aid Certifications
I saw this story detailing the efforts of people trying to save the fallen soldier at the war memorial, and it was very powerful, not only for the obvious reasons, that these people ran into danger to try to help. But it also drove home the point that everybody who was trying to help him …

Me Stick Song In Head!
Ok, now I’ve done it, talking what looks like nonsense about Ook Ook under this post. Now I have to go put up the song. I was hoping to read some story about someone doing something stupid with fire and then use the song as a soundtrack, but that opportunity hasn’t presented itself. So this’ll …
We’ve Voted In Our First Municipal Election Since Moving Here
Well, Steve and I set off yesterday to vote in the municipal election, and I’d say this one was one of the easiest experiences yet. We decided to go to City Hall, mostly because I pretty much knew where that was. A couple of questions to people randomly standing around, and in we went. We …

Don’t Annoy Your Nurses. It Might Kill You.
I’m glad Daniela Poggiali wasn’t on staff at the hospital where I was. I’m sure there were times when I would have annoyed even the most tolerant of nurses. Here are some creepy lines from the story. Cops arrested a nurse in northeastern Italy in connection with the deaths of as many as 38 patients, …

These Meat Eaters Won’t Be Denied
Speaking of vegetarian options, I was looking at Twitter one day, and came across this comedy sketch, which made me laugh, really really hard. I only wish it was a little louder. Here puss puss puss!
Accessible Voting In The Waterloo Region: Here Are All Your Options…I Think…
I usually don’t wait until the day before advanced polling starts to put up a link to accessible stuff around the region, but a. Captain Nameless Illness is making me work really slow, and b. We’re still figuring out this huuuge city, so didn’t have much of a clue. So, it took longer to make …

Goodbye, Fred Gissoni, The Fred of Fred’s Head.
I saw this 2 weeks ago, but didn’t have the ability to write it up. This. A short goodbye post to someone. Yes, blame Captain Nameless Illness. I think most blind people know of the “Fred’s Head” website. If you don’t, google something blindness and technology-related, and you’ll likely find it. It had everything about …
