And they would like you to help them do so by becoming a Patron, which I’m going to do as soon as I post this and remember my Patreon password. Three guesses which one happens first. Help us make fun of a world that has it coming… Hi, we’re the …

When the Frantics were doing their Frantic Times radio show in the early 80s, I was a tiny little baby and didn’t get to hear it. So now that there’s a chance to maybe get my hands on a bunch of those shows as a series of free podcasts, it only makes sense that I’d …
Excuse me while I go Carin on you for a second.

How do you help a community that needs so much? Well, thankfully the good people at Maclean’s have gathered up …
Since Carin and I have talked a couple of times about Dictation Bridge, we thought some of you might be interested in trying out the proof of concept code that the team behind the project has just released. This is Proof-Of-Concept code, which means that it is used to show that what we claim is …
