Here’s something I’ve never seen before. A music video with audio description for the blind. As a blind person, I appreciate the idea behind this. 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 …

For More On The Icy Conditions, We Take You To Tori Yorgey Reporting Live From Under A Car
I’m impressed with the composure on display here. If this was me, I would almost certainly be rolling around like a baby and getting the station thrown off the air with my language.
Jeopardy Should Steal An Idea From Itself
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. It’s a small thing, but I wouldn’t mind seeing the show proper drop the extra commercial break in the middle of the Jeopardy round. It’s always felt …

An Even More Electronic Than Normal Version Of The Ghostbusters Theme
Enjoy the Ghostbusters theme as played by a bunch of different electronic devices. And here’s a decent description of the accompanying video. This time, Device Orchestra busted out 14 gadgets for its composition — including electric toothbrushes adorned with googly eyes. One electric toothbrush with pipe cleaners for arms stands front and center, belting out …

There Is A Windows Version Of The Great Escape
Not sure how many people this will be news to at this point since it’s so old, but if I didn’t know there was a Windows version of The Great Escape until today, somebody else who might care probably didn’t either. The great Escape is an updated windows port of a classic accessible dos game, …

Pack Your Bags…With Ice And Bandages
I don’t go on a lot of international vacations (I haven’t left Canada since 1994), but the next time I do I’m definitely springing for the health insurance if it’s offered. I would hate to be caught unprepared for, say, an extremely venomous snout cobra making a snack out of my goolies while I’m minding …
NOOOOOOOOOORAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
Again, I know that it’s January and that this post is therefore either very late or very early depending on how you look at things. But we’re about to get another snowstorm plus I just found out that Norah Jones covered the Chipmunks, so Christmas content it is. Of course there’s no replacing the original. …
Finally, Some Wrestling Logic We Can All Get Behind
If Billy Gunn is Mr. Ass and has proudly proclaimed through song that he is an AssMan, then it only makes sense that his sons should be the Assboys. This is the greatest. I’ve had it stuck in my head all weekend long. Wrestling is so weird and so fun sometimes.
We Need To Change Some Wrestling Rules
Maybe I’ve written this before, I don’t know and I’m not going back to check. But we have got to do something about these triple threat, fatal 4-way, 6 pack challenge, whatever they want to call the multi-person matches in wrestling. The rules are dumb and it makes me hate them even when the match …
Yoko Ono Has Never Sounded Better
There is precious little I could ever hope to add to this. All you need to know is that it’s great, that the song is called “Voice Piece For Soprano And Wish Tree”, and that this is what it sounded like before it was improved upon. This video comes to you courtesy of Andre Antunes, …
