Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I’m not sure what to think of this. I think it has potential, but I am glad it’s an early prototype. It’s called Project Guideline, and its aim is to let blind people run independently without needing a dog, a cane or a human guide. There are good things about it, like how the app …

That soundtrack has nothing to do with the subject matter, but it’s what enters my head whenever I think about this invention…along with the imagined distressed sounds of dogs. I feel like a jerk making fun of an invention dreamed up by a third-grader, and maybe I can’t judge until I’ve actually laid hands on …

My first thought listening to this was damn, how much time must it have taken to gather all these sound samples and get the timing right? Turns out the answer is about a month. Despite the amazing lyricism and irresistible disco-rhythms at play in the track, aspiring rappers shouldn’t fear that their efforts will soon …

Some of my dreams have a freaky way of coming true, especially if they involve technology. I had a dream that every few years, after you had customized your computer just the way you liked it, it would forget everything and you had to keep remembering to make backups so you could bring it back …
iPhone 12 Pro lets people who are blind ‘see’ others around them It’s probably going to be a very long time before I get to try this out unless I happen to hit a really good sale on Steve needs a new phone day, but it sounds like it has the potential to be quite …
I have a probably dumb question about the new COVID Alert app. If you get the virus and report that to the app and input your happy little key, what happens when your case is marked as resolved? Does the public health unit deactivate your key so your phone stops spewing warning-triggering codes? Or are …
Take Me Home, Country Roads played by five electric toothbrushes and two electric typewriters. The John Denver toothbrush also drives on his RC car. Googly eyes on the road! It’s been a whole year since you first requested this John Denver song. But I decided to wait until the right time of the year to …

When they first started talking about the COVID Alert app, I wasn’t sure what to think of it. There were two things about the descriptions I had heard that didn’t sound good. First, they called it a contact-tracing app. I had visions of this short film, all being done by this app. I had visions …
As always, after I’ve taken a trip, I take forever to blog about it. This one was almost a year and a half ago. But I felt like writing it down because if this garbage Coronavirus hadn’t come along, I would have likely been back there this week. Back in March of 2019, when life …

I’m trying to unravel a mystery, and hope that maybe writing about it will help. So…Friday night, we had to accept the fact that Steve’s beautiful iPod dock bit the dust. Well, the dock itself is probably fine, but the cord that went from old ass iPhone 4 port to lightning port got frayed and …
