Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I have not much to offer here in terms of worthwhile comment on this particular device. Maybe these folks will finally be the ones who are able to make canes full of sensors and software into a thing. Open-sourcing the design is at least a good start. The reason I’ve called you all here today …

Here’s a good segment from the Morning Edition on CBC Kitchener Waterloo talking with Dr. Peter Lin about what the phrase “living with COVID” should mean in a world in which we hope to get things right.

Today’s badly written headline: Large power outage in Kitchener restored “We’re sorry we turned it back on for a while there. All fixed now,” said a spokesperson I invented in my head upon reading this mess.
The There I Ruined It YouTube channel definitely lived up to its name with this one. I’m never going to be able to listen to “Down With The Sickness” with a straight face again.

Prosecutors in Cook County said that the trio were having a drink together when Resendiz-Florez allegedly …
It’s not like me to be proud of a tweet. Hell, I barely want to be on Twitter at all and have come close to deleting my account a few times since all this honk honk anti-vaccine overthrow the government truck shit started tormenting cities and blocking borders across Canada. But I’m pretty pleased with …

If I’m going to get anything at all out of the video portion of a music video, somebody is going to have to tell me what’s happening. I’m quite thankful …

I’ve noticed watching the Jeopardy College Tournament the last few nights that I like the way the game flows a little better than I do on regular Jeopardy.
