Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I just got this emailed to me and thought I’d pass it on. I saw AFB Career Connect in its American form, and it looked neat. It’s cool to have something Canadian. Good Morning. I’m delighted today to announce the launch of CareerConnect Canada, a new online employment networking and mentoring program offered in partnership …

Remember back when I said we were going to try out the Fresh at Home program? Well, we did, and we’re pretty impressed. The site is workable, but it has some small accessibility wrinkles. For one, for no apparent reason, the whole nav bar doesn’t appear until you’ve moved over the link that says grocery …

I just got a link to a survey, so I thought I would pass it along. There is a team of students who are trying to design a high-quality talking watch, and they want our input. They have some pretty neat ideas about things they want to put into it. It’s a quick 10-question deal, …

I have more cool news. Remember back when I railed about how much companies were charging for a talking caller ID? Well, I didn’t specifically say it was a talking caller ID, but that was what I was trying to buy. Well, Future Aids, or the Braille Book Store has come through again. We’ve already …
