Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
I think I’m cursed. A few years ago, I had the joy of living through Guelph Remastered. That was a heapin’ helpin’ of no fun. Now, just when I was feeling pretty good about my ability to wing around parts of Kitchener-Waterloo, along comes LRT construction. And oh me oh my oh boy. Time to …

I got a recipe for making homemade pill pockets. I figured I’ll put this up. It might help me later on when I get a dog who doesn’t hoover up everything in her bowl, meds included. Maybe it might help Brad out with Trixeroo if she needs meds, since she was very talented at avoiding …

When this news broke in November, we were right smack in the middle of one of the worst parts of Carin’s illness so I completely missed it. But it’s just as important now as it was then, so better late than never as we say far too often around here. If, as we are, you’re …
I really should be in bed, but for some reason I’m restless. So I thought I’d write this down. On Friday night, we tried out a new app that’s supposed to be designed to help you call a taxi easier…and…for the most part, it was a success. It’s kind of a neat idea, that’s for …

Toronto’s Pearson airport has become one of the first Canadian airports to offer travellers maps of …

If your job is public relations, particularly the type of public relations that has you chasing news coverage on someone’s behalf, you’ll maybe want to take a few minutes and read these helpful tips from the Register. They seem like good advice. So. You’re a PR. Your boss, client, giant David Icke-style lizard or whatever …
Well, this year, our attempts to get poppies were much less painful than last year. The bank across the street actually had them, so we didn’t have to go on a puppy hunt. But I still have a heck of a time not losing my poppy. There’s nothing worse than lum dee dumming down the …
This morning I stumbled into the discovery that Canadian Tire has a screenreader accessible flyer. Go to this link, give it your postal code and you’re pretty much in business. Unlike some of the others we’ve talked about here, you don’t have the option of skimming through the entire flyer. You’re browsing it either by …
I also saw this on Friday, and decided to put it up too. We’ve probably said all of this in one spot or another, but I don’t care. The more eyes who see this, the better. Here’s an awesome article called How To Talk To A Person With Disabilities Without Sounding Like An A-Hole, and …
I got this on a mailing list. It’s a video for paramedics about helping service dog teams when an ambulance is called, and I thought it was kinda neat. I learned a few things too, like I didn’t even know about those open grating things and how they can cut paws. Tansy was one lucky …
