I can think of a few people for whom this $600, 60,000 piece jigsaw puzzle that Costco is selling would make a pretty cool gift. The problem is I have no idea where they would put it. The sprawling What a Wonderful World puzzle is actually 60 interconnected 1000-piece puzzles to make assembly (somewhat) feasible. …

Today In English Is A Silly Ass Language
I ask this all the time, but how did any of us ever manage to learn anything?
Behold The Commodordion
I like to think that I have my share of odd ideas, but then some guy comes along and makes an electronic accordion out of Commodore 64s and floppy discs and I realize that I’m pretty boring, actually.
I’m Starting To Think I’m Being Taken For A Ride. What Do I Look Like, A Trailer?
I’ve never sold anything large like a trailer across the U.S. Canada border, so I’m not going to judge the idea that it could perhaps take a while to get things done or that there could be a few snags along the way too harshly. But there’s one line here that jumped straight out at …

It’s one less piece of electronic garbage polluting the sidewalk, which means one less unnecessary travel hazard for …

Another Letter
I have nothing to say here, only that Gill has spoken of this grandmother at least once before. Doris Mildred Jean Macmurchy-Hewgill August 31 1923- June 22 2003. This was my grandmother, and so much has changed in my life since she passed nearly twenty years ago. Dear grandma I am writing this to thank …
Always An Adventure
If you came here earlier and noticed that the place had halfway fallen over, that should be fixed now. And for the benefit of anyone else running a WordPress website and also having problems at the moment, here is basically what happened just in case it might help. I woke up this morning to a …
My Friends, I Assure You That I Have Nothing To Do With Running This Province That I Run
By his own admission, Doug Ford believes that the Liberals’ use of the Emergencies Act during the freedom convoy was the right thing to do. “Stood shoulder to shoulder with the Prime Minister” on it, he said. So why, then, is he fighting so hard to avoid testifying at the inquiry? What does he personally …
