Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Did anyone else have to sing that little ditty for the music festival? Did anyone else wonder what a hey ding-a-ding was? Apologies for butchering the spelling, I can’t find the lyrics anywhere! I can’t remember if it had some kind of weird title, but typing in the few bits I remember from when I …

Explain this logic to me. You go to a store and buy some things. You have a backpack on. You say you’d like to put the things you bought in the backpack so your hands will be free. The people at the store help you put a bunch of stuff in the backpack, and then …
Remember when I said that I thought evolution was removing people’s ability to see? Now I think they’re losing their ability to listen. People can hear, but they just can’t process what they’re hearing worth a shit. Here’s one example. I went into the post office. I told the lady that I had to mail …
I just had an interesting and highly illogical conversation with a nice woman from the March of Dimes who was going around our building to sign people up for something called the Dime Plan, a monthly donation scheme to benefit the physically disabled. She told me that I didn’t have to part with any money …

This story about an assisted suicide facility in Switzerland moving in next to a brothel is a little quirky, but this statement jumped out at me. The only problem ever is that Dignitas (the assisted suicide centre) doesn’t advertise its presence – and a lot of people get lost and have to ask for directions. …

Japanese scientists have invented smart glasses that they say can help you find things you’ve lost by playing back recordings made by a built-in camera of the last time you were with the object you’re looking for. This is a pretty neat idea, but what are you supposed to do if you lose your glasses?
I came across a sign of a sad state of affairs today. I’ve seen it before, but today, it demanded to be posted. Yesterday, I tried to leave my apartment building. I could get as far as down the driveway and to the sidewalk, but no further. Where there should have been a sidewalk, there …
My name is Steve, and I’m a wrestleholic. NO really, it’s true. I watch waaaaay waaaay too much of the stuff. I suppose that deep down I’ve always known it, but today I feel I finally have to face it once and for all. This morning I woke up to the news thatMats Sundin has …
Someone asked a good question on my cellphone-using bus driver post that I thought needed to be answered up here. They wondered why I didn’t pull the bell myself. This is because when you’re blind, sometimes it’s hard to judge the distance and time and know if you’re really at the bus stop you think …
I never noticed them saying in this article that along with the brain-reading headset, there is a backup controler that uses the old-fashioned hands, because I think you’d need it. There is no way some game developer has managed to master the reading of thoughts when we can’t seem to create devices to do this …
