Here’s the tribute that the Leafs did for Bob Cole tonight. I can’t believe that this is the last Leafs home game he’ll ever call and that in just a couple short months his entire career will be over. So many great memories. Oh baby! For 50 years, Bob Cole’s calls have captivated the country. …

A Kind Of Sort Of GPS System From 1971
This was actually a pretty ingenious idea in some ways, but unfortunately if even the smallest thing about any of your surroundings ever changed or the tape got eaten, you’d be kind of screwed. In a fascinating segment from an 1971 episode of the BBC science show Tomorrow’s World, host Michael Rodd gave a demonstration …

The weather sucks and there’s not much going on at the moment that’s begging me to write about it, so here’s the video of a Scottish lady arguing with her Echo that I just finished laughing at. I believe this is the song she was after. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=or39rxYMz8w

New Old People Are Going To Suck
This bit from Lachlan Patterson made me laugh. It’s a good point, too. My generation and the ones after it are going to make for some pretty garbage old people. We have wonderful technology, but it sure does make it easy to take and hang on to a lot of useless photographs.
