I feel fairly confident that this would not be an idea I would ever have, but I’m glad someone did. Thanks for tossing it my way, Barb. Incidentally, I feel like a bad friend. I don’t think I’ve ever plugged Barb’s World’s Bliss radio show even though she’s been on the air for like two …

Singing Together Alone
Whoever edited this together is magical, and whoever came up with the idea is also magical. Heck, everyone who participated in this is amazing. Someone I know from book club is part of a choir, and that choir was one of five that participated in this great big project where everyone sang a particular piece …
A Very Sweet Valentine’s Day
We don’t often make a big deal out of Valentine’s Day. Usually it involves looking at our restaurant gift card stash and picking a place where we want to go for dinner, having a great meal and only having to pay for tips because the rest is on the gift cards. But because restaurants are …
Help Earl And Kelly Harrison
I just saw this and wanted to link to it. I used to listen to Earl Harrison review technology on ACB Radio’s Main Menu years ago. I also ran into him at a GDB convention once. I was on a mailing list with his wife some time ago. Now I just read that he is …
Some Local Deliciousness
I can’t believe I’m about to post a picture of food. But I think this is a special occasion! Like I said in my post about getting Christmas gifts, I was doing my best to seek out local businesses that I would happen to hear about. I even went and looked up local businesses I’d …
Planes for Puppies!
I meant to put this up last week, but better late than never. In the pandemic’s long line of sucky side-consequences, it has made it harder for Guide dogs for the Blind, the school that trained Trixie and Tansy, to transport puppies and some adult dogs in need, to where they need to go. Many …

I have some very exciting news to share with you. On Monday, September 14 GDB will begin providing specialized support …
Pro-Wrestling Favorability Survey
For once, let’s take a survey not related to accessibility. This one’s about wrestling, specifically how you feel about and access programming from various companies. This survey is being conducted by Brandon Thurston (bhthurston@gmail.com), an independent researcher, writer, pro-wrestler, and sometimes business consultant who creates content associated with wrestlenomics.com. He plans to use the results …
I Want A Coronavirus For Christmas
No, I don’t have a death wish. Let me explain. First, imagine singing the “I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” song, but pronouncing Coronavirus like “Corin avris”. That’s how one of our screen-readers pronounces Coronavirus. Steve and I have gotten so used to pronouncing it that way that we have to make sure we say …
Virtual Fireworks
I got word about this and I can’t decide if it’s pretty neat or neat with a touch of creepy. But still, it’s mostly neat. Because we can’t have throngs of humanity smushing into parks and watching the fireworks, the government of Canada decided to put on a virtual display. On July 1, wherever you …
