Woohoo! I have mentioned possible bills to make sure hybrid cars make some noise. Now, one has passed in the states. Regulators have 18 months to determine what the minimum sound requirements are, and after that, cars have to make that level of sound, and drivers won’t be allowed to turn it off. Aside from …

Maybe I Should Get One Of These For My Brother.
I’m shocked I’ve never seen this before. I’ve seen a zillion toys that move around a room on their own and change course if they bump a wall. Now, your alarm clock can too! Seriously, you have to get up out of bed and chase down your alarm clock, which jumps off your bedside table …

>A Little Of This, A Little Of That
>Well it’s December 21. I think it’s funny that on the first official day of winter, the weather is being decidedly more gentle than it has been earlier in December. But I’m not gonna complain. I want to get home to my family tomorrow, so Mother Nature can just keep that calm weather up. Hey …
It’s Not Synths, But Still
Well, we have more singing things, only this time, they’re old technology. But they wish us a merry Christmas. That definitely takes some talent.
All I Really Need Is A Song In My…Belly?
Fredrik Hjelmqvist, please explain to me why on earth anyone else would want to play audio from their stomach. You did it, and you’re weird, but why in hell would anyone else want to?

OMG TEH MEAN MAN JUST TOOK MY PHONE!
This is just one of the many reasons why it’s a bad idea to sit near the front at a comedy show texting like an asshole. Nothing makes me more angry than seeing someone in the audience texting while I am doing my show. Its incredibly rude and, unfortunately, it is becoming more and more …
Our Voting Experience
I meant to write this post earlier, but I got hit by a wave of tiredness. Yes, I know part of the reason for the tiredness is me being a toolbag and playing Uno until 3 in the morning last night. Not smart at all. I just had to write about our experience voting because …
Battle Of The Synths
Here’s a little screenreader comedy to start off your day. Eloquence and ESpeak have a duel! At first, I got bored because it was this Harry Potteresque duel, but oh oh oh, it gets better. Stick with it. For those who don’t know, Eloquence has this tendancy to crash if you write something like w …
Thanksgiving, and Other Rambles
I just felt like rambling, and since the blog may get a little quiet over the next couple of days because Steve and I are both running off to Thanksgiving stuff, what better time for a ramble fest. First, happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadian readers. Hope you have lots of yummy food and pleasant …
