Blind fun with AT&T
One of the things that has always bugged me
(and I'm sure it has most of you, too) is to sit down to dinner
only to be interrupted by a phone call from a telemarketer. I
decided, on one such occasion, to try to be as irritating to them
as they… Read full post »

how to install the OCR NVDA add on. I thought, "why should I keep

How to be a white person
This is a guide on how to be white. White
people, no one understands us white people at all. Perhaps if
people read this top secret guide on how, in fact, to be a white
person, then perhaps people will stop being so condescending to us,
and judging us. These things… Read full post »

blind gamer beast mode 1. halo hangup
was
playing the closing minutes of a halo death match, hiding behind a

What I Do When You’re Away
I sleep with the lights on, all of them. It's not because I miss
you;
it's for safety. You probably don't know this, but you can't get
burglarized with the light on. The best defense is a good offense, so I

how to hack a car with an Iphone.
You see, all those bells and whistles that modern cars come
equipped with -- GPS, remote entry, alarm systems, rear-facing
cannons -- are connected to the cellular phone network. Those
devices have their own phone numbers where they can receive
commands via text message, and unlike you when you recei…

TV sure is educating! yeah!
This post was inspired by a god friend of mine. I was watching her
watch TV and this post came to mind. You know, I may not have a

A crippled critic review of ENDER'S GAME
The best way to distinguish a work of pornography from a
conventional narrative is to look at its structure. All narratives,

exposition, development, climax and resolution; but in pornography
these are merely nods to propriety, th…

You’ll take their word for it when they say
they’re busy, swamped at work,
“just doing me.â€
You’ll make excuses for them, put your ringer
on extra loud in case they call. But you’ll
still feel the change, and because you can’t…
