For one reason or another, I’ve been strolling down memory lane through the blog a lot. Sometimes it’s because of the drugs our related posts plugin is on, and sometimes it’s just because. At any rate, I came upon this post where I described trying to make Braille alphabet cards myself. It’s funny how your …

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 …
Giving In The Name
One thing I’ve never been able to get my head around is why on earth anyone would donate to a charity in someone elses’ name as a Christmas present. It’s a terrible gift. Not because you don’t wind up getting any stuff, although I will admit to having that thought as a child. the problem …
This Is Definitely The Eighth Day. Maybe
This is 100% me right now. The only difference is that I haven’t known what day it is since December 20th when my birthday ended. It was easier to sort it out then than it’s been since we left for family Christmas on the 24th, though. Jesus. Every day away felt like it should be …
Christmas Is Right Around the Corner! Roar!
I know. I stole the title from something that was said at an Arrogant Worms concert, but I’ve thought it ever since. If you’re sick of the usual Christmas songs, here’s one for you. It’s been stuck in my head since I heard it. When I heard this one for the first time, I couldn’t …

In Which I Use Pierre Poilievre To Teach An Important Lesson
I don’t have a clue what Pierre Poilievre looks like, but jesus christ, that voice! Gaaaaah! Every time I hear him talk, there are two thoughts I can’t shake: Even if we agreed on every issue in the world, I’d still want to slap the crap out of him. If you told me a guy …

Some Things I Wrote Down
I thought I was finally starting to get a bit better at the posting thing again, but I’ve hit another wall, it seems. So maybe I’ll try jotting some stuff down and posting it when it feels right. Making myself do this in the usual ways hasn’t worked in years, so maybe this will. It’ll …
Wow! Is That A Mockingbird?
There was this funny video that we couldn’t stop watching when we had Christmas with Steve’s family. It was only a short, but we couldn’t stop laughing. I think what made it even funnier was how hard Seppa laughed at it. First, he was just laughing because we were laughing…which made us laugh harder. Then …
Stumbling Into 2025
I don’t think I’m quite as sad-sounding as that AI-generated guy is, but it still has a note of truth to it, and it made me giggle, so it’s the soundtrack for this post. Also, side note: Did anybody else hear that Auld Lang Syne song as a kid and think “What? Old Anxiety?” And …
Have A Holly Jolly What Now?
This “There I Ruined It” guy really has a very twisted mind. Only he could Take “Get Low” and set it to “Holly Jolly Christmas” and not only have it work, but get it stuck in my head so that when I’m doing Christmas things, I get the “Holly Jolly Christmas” tune in my head, …
