Who Knew Laundry And Accessibility Could Meet?

Here I go again, stirring up trouble. Ok, a little background. Our apartment building has laundry machines that don’t take coins. They take a card that you fill with your debit card. When it’s filled, it’s easy. Stick card in machine, wait a few seconds, hit desired button, woosha woosha woosha go your clothes. No …

Gimme A High Five! And Another One!

We have blogged about quite a few things you can get for yourself if you have no friends and need something to make you feel like you’re loved and appreciated. There was the Words of Encouragement tapes, the listening plant, and the Christmas dinner guests on a DVD. But now, there’s a whole new thing …

Clearing Out The Clutter From My Head

I had a few random thoughts floating through my head, so I thought I would write them down. Really, must I start all of these posts out the same way? Seriously? I’m really digging this last bit of weather we’ve been having. No crazy heat waves, some rain but not a whole heap, just nice …

You Have Reached Your Destination…Jail!

Ha ha ha ha ha. This is just awesome. I think this is a message from above that Horatio Toure should stop pickpocketing. He stole the wrong item. I guess he was walking along, and saw a woman’s iPhone. He felt he must have it immediately, so snatched it and ran off. Little did he …

Sir, If We Catch You Driving That Thing Again We May Have To Put You In The Cooler

Neil Rideout says he was just trying to do the right thing and help the environment by driving a vehicle that’s less harmful than a regular car. But the police say dude, we can’t have folkstooling down the sidewalks of Nova Scotia in motorized coolers. He thought the cooler —which sits on four wheels, is …

Accessible Digital Cable Is Very Possible!

Back a little while ago, Ro wrote a post about ACB’s letter to Gary Shapiro. In the comments, there was a mention of a talking digital set-top box. Ro, was it called Goodmans Smart Talk® TV set top box? This sounds pretty damn cool. I know that particular box won’t work over here because the …

These Teasers Don’t Tease. They Enrage.

I received this from a Humanware press release list I somehow got on, and my reaction was not what they hoped it would be. They wanted to get us all excited about a new device they’re coming out with. All I could think was “Not again! Not again!” This is a teaser campaign announcing a …
