I don’t have much to say right now, so have some odd videos of chat bots talking to each other. I think these ones may like each other. These ones, not quite so much. These things are supposedly learning from conversations between themselves and humans as well as by watching public conversations between people on …

Do You Hear Any Cursing Out Of This Supposedly Cursing Minions Toy?
I didn’t write about this back in the summer because I wasn’t writing about much of anything at all for a while there, but it’s still relevant enough. Those Minions toys that McDonald’s was giving out or selling or whatever. People, as people sometimes do, convinced themselves that some of the gibberish they spew sounds …

When Accessibility Meets Music, You Get…An Album?
Here’s a little quick something to hopefully get me moving. A week or so ago, Steve found out about this album put out by 13 people who are accessibility keeners, and also like to make music.

CNN’s 35th Anniversary Blooper Reel
CNN made this blooper reel to celebrate its 35th anniversary. This has nothing to do with anything really, but I’m only about 6 months older than CNN. I don’t know why, but that kind of blows my mind a little. I blame the time change and its extra hour of sleep deprivation.

Be It Resolved That I Really Have To Pee
Pro tip: If you’re wearing a microphone during a meeting and you find yourself in need of a bathroom break, don’t forget to turn that sucker off first. You might have to turn your sound up higher than normal for maximum effect.
Mike McCormick Is Not Impressed With You, Renfrew
This one probably isn’t going to stick in everyone’s head the way that last one did, but you let the man down. You don’t deserve an earworm.
John Oliver Would Really Like You To Vote, But Not For Stephen Harper
The bit about the $5000 fine or the 6 month jail stretch might be a tad overblown since the law as I understand it is that foreigners can’t tangibly influence a Canadian to vote for or against somebody (bribery, basically), but John Oliver’s segment about the Canadian election is still worth a watch. It’s around …

A Musical Plea To Vote
Here’s yet another protest song. So, if you agree, please, please, pleasepleaseplease, please, please please please please get out and vote tomorrow! Don’t make her write any more verses. Did I say please enough? Did I? Even if you don’t agree, get out and vote. And…to whoever wrote this, say what you really think! Don’t …
Why Niqabs Are An Election Issue
Rick Mercer pretty much nails it right here. On a side note, am I the only one who has trouble typing the word Niqab without putting a U in it? I seriously just did it again.
