Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
My old blind man self doesn’t much care for touchscreens just yet, but since that’s where the world is headed, gadgets like this thing have the potential to save us a lot of money if they work as advertised. And I admit it, the idea is pretty neat. A group of researchers from Stanford University …

It’s hard to get all sappy about this one since scumbag just radiates off the guy, but the apparent suicide of Don Lapre is worth a mention as far as I’m concerned. If you’ve been reading a while or if you know me reasonably well, the fact that I tend to have trouble sleeping probably …

Remember back when I casually mentioned looking for a play safe ad about being careful around “the mean machines” because “they can hurt you”? Well, I found it! And I also found the coolest channel ever. If you’re looking for old station ID’s, themesongs and commercials that ran in Ontario, check out the YouTube channel …

This video of a cute couple inadvertently filming themselves while trying to figure out their new webcam killed me. My god. I think this is everybody’s parents or grandparents. It kind of reminds me of what happened when we tried to get my great aunt a computer. Oh, it would open up the internet and …

I’m not going to talk a whole heap about 9/11. It happened, it was a huge tragedy, a lot of people lost their lives. I don’t really have any words. Who does? But I thought I would post this video. We have heard tons about Michael Hingson and Roselle. But they weren’t the only guide …
This has been a rather crappy NHL offseason. If there’s been another in my lifetime that’s been this bad from a guys dying young standpoint, I cant’ remember it. First it was Derek Boogaard, then Rick Rypien and now Wade Belak, who was found dead today at 35. As a Leafs fan, this one is …
I feel dirty linking this video, but some of you may have been lucky enough not to have seen it to this point and writing is all about context, so here it is. Listen, Dove. I like your soap well enough. Irish Spring is my personal favourite, but my mom’s house has been a Dove …
Here comes another one who hasn’t learned that trying to beat up court officials probably won’t work out so well. This one, after being held in contempt of court at a domestic violence hearing, tried to take out the judge. I guess she didn’t see court security, but they sure saw her. Down she went. …
Woe. Here’s something you don’t see every day. A guy got his hands on a 1964 modem, and brought it online. This thing was as simple as she gets. It wasn’t even close to a digital modem. 300 Bod. Hello. You know what’s funny? My parents would have been around in this modem’s era, but …
