I like the Tragically Hip well enough, but nowhere near as much as most people seem to. they’ve put out a good bit of stuff which, to my ear at least, kinda sucks, actually.

Help Save Braille Doodle
When I was at the CSUN assistive technology conference last year, I was walking around the exhibit hall checking out whatever I could check out. There’s never enough time to see everything, and I always stumble onto things I had no idea were even there. One of those things was the Braille Doodle. It’s a …
Oh Jesus! That’s You? I Thought It Was Just The Team Again!
The only Oshawa Generals fan I know I know for sure is Matt, whose Tall Can Audio podcast you should make some time to check out if you haven’t. It’s almost always a solid listen if you like some combination of sports, beer, music, wrestling or media, which I assume you must since you’re here. …

You Ruined Everything! BOOOOOOOOO!
I enjoyed this. Enjoyed it a lot more than I enjoyed how the damn World Series turned out, that’s for sure. Thanks a lot, Freeman. Such a clown. We never thought we'd cheer for @FreddieFreeman5 either, but here we are. He's grown on us. Kind of like @VancityReynolds' sweater. 😉 Help Ryan Help @SickKidsNews. Donate …
Jason Dunkerley On the Agenda
Back in March, our friend Jason (the one with the book), was a guest on The Agenda with Steve Paikin. During the segment he talked about that book, and also shared some stories from his rather interesting life. You can watch it here: Jason Dunkerley was born with a condition that has rendered him blind …
Celebrated Canadian Paralympic Athlete And All Around Good Dude Writes Autobiography
Got an email this morning from our good friend Jason Dunkerley, whose name has come up here a time or two through the years and who is almost certainly involved in a few of the stories where names are missing. For several years he’s been working on and off at writing a book about his …

If you’ve got 10 or so minutes to burn and feel like sharing your experiences with various aspects of web accessibility, then today is your day, my friend. Put simply, this survey aims to collect data and insights from users around the world about who they are, what tech they use, how they use it, …
Carin Is Presenting AT CSUN 2023
If you’re at the CSUN conference this week, you may not be reading this because looking at that schedule of events tells me that holy crap, there’s a lot going on down there. But if you have managed to find a couple minutes of free time to play around on the internet, allow me to …
Steve On CKCU Radio This Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022
Hi there! Hope you’re all enjoying your holiday Monday. Assuming you get one, of course. this August long weekend is so weird and I don’t think I’ll ever understand it as long as I live. We’re enjoying ours, thanks for asking. The weather has been absolutely beautiful and we’ve been taking good advantage of it …

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie The Computer Doctor…
I don’t know why this song appears in my head when I have to call these guys, but it does. I’m realizing that we have lived in this town for nearly ten years, and have used the services of Bernie the Computer Doctor, and I have never given them a plug, and that’s a shame. …
