If you enjoyed that 1934 Yankees Tigers game I posted a couple of years ago, then chances are this YouTube channel I just discovered is going to be your jam. It’s called Classic Baseball on the Radio, and it’s exactly what you would think it would be with a name like that. Full length radio …

The First Two Plus Hours Of MTV’s Launch Day
I’m pretty sure that today is the first day in my life that I’ve watched MTV. I don’t remember seeing it on any of my trips to the States or during visits with the various friends and family who had the cool old big ass satellite dishes. And no, I’m not counting the useless Canadian …

Can You See Me, A Positioning Tool For Blind People Who Can’t Leave Their Meeting Video Off
If you’re like me, you rarely have to attend an online meeting. But if you’re like Carin and get called into 137 of them a day, then Can You See Me sounds like a nice alternative to leaving your video off for fear of being embarrassed because you have no idea what it’s shooting. Can …

Asleep for nearly six months, she wakes up and realizes that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby. The doctor replies, “Ma’am, you had twins! A boy …

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new song that I’ve only heard once just because I think I kinda like it, so here’s one. It’s hard to go wrong when you have Ben Harper playing acoustic. Some of that stuff is up there with my favourite music in the world. And it’s not …
The Be My Eyes Virtual Volunteer
I haven’t used Be My Eyes much in the last few years. Basically any time I would have, Carin’s been there with Aira to take care of whatever the problem was. But since I won’t have access to Carin or Aira for the next few weeks, it occurred to me that perhaps I should pop …
The Floppotron Grows, Goes To the Circus
It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on the Floppotron, and since last we left it, it’s gotten quite a bit bigger. It’s now up to version 3.0 and includes 512 floppy drives, 16 hard disks and 4 scanners. Ridiculous. Here it is playing Julius Fucík’s Entrance of the Gladiators, A.K.A. that clown song …
The Heat Is On
Maybe I’ve asked this before. I don’t know and I have no idea how I would begin finding out. So can someone explain to me the complexities that go into turning the heat for an entire apartment building on and off? Is it harder than click? I hope it is, because in spite of the …
