Rampway to Heaven

Sometimes it’s difficult to remember the end goal of an advocate or activist action. In the heat of the moment, when all the chips are on the table, it’s hard to keep it about the objective and not the fight. Perhaps it’s our competitive nature or just emotions gone wild, but the death of so… Continue reading Rampway to Heaven

Robo-linebacker

Growing up in Port Elgin, there weren’t a lot of accessible sports opportunities for Jeff. While youth with disabilities who live in bigger cities, like London, have several options for adapted team sports, those fortunate enough to live in the rural world with few peers in wheelchairs are largely limited to individual sports like wheelchair… Continue reading Robo-linebacker

Movin’ home to London, Ontario

For the last few years, Jeff has hosted all of his websites with a company based out of California with limited success. While the space was adequate and the prices right, the tech support was awful and he was tired of all the long distance bills from waiting on hold for hours on end. Ultimately,… Continue reading Movin’ home to London, Ontario

The Real Issue

Tonight I was lucky enough to attend a public discussion on poverty as part of the Real Issue Conversation Series at the London Foodbank. The Real Issue is an innovative campaign being run by several organizations in London to generate a frank and honest discussion about poverty in our city. The discussion tonight was thought… Continue reading The Real Issue

Movember

Isn’t it sort of weird that we have “disabled” sports teams? While we understand the need for Special Olympics and Paralympics, theoretically speaking, it seems strange that we’ve developed leagues for people who are lacking ability. Isn’t the point of sport, at it’s core, to celebrate ultimate ability? Of course, we’re not advocating for the… Continue reading Movember

Signs you need to find a new driving school

Was leaving my condo on Friday when I snapped this gem of a photo. Note that this is the exact same handicapped spot where I found a police car and city official in the summer. While not as great as the cop car, I think finding a Driving School Instructor parked in a handicap spot… Continue reading Signs you need to find a new driving school

Trick o’ Treat Mah Criggas

Do you remember when you were a kid, going out trick-or-treating, how sometimes schools would give you a Unicef box to collect money for starving children while you filled your sacks with candy? Jeff’s surprised there isn’t a larger element of philanthropy when it comes to Halloween, given the whole “giving free candy to children,”… Continue reading Trick o’ Treat Mah Criggas

The Lazy Mexican

We think it’s important to point out that Jeff hasn’t been out for Halloween since he was about 6 or 7 years old: not because he’s against it or obligated to sit it out for some weird religious reasons, but rather because he has a nasty habit of getting sick toward the end of October.… Continue reading The Lazy Mexican

Things “The Game” Can’t Teach You

We were going to write a great bloggy blog about all the best things in the world, but instead Facebook decided to delete our fanpage, threaten to ban Jeff’s account and basically ruin everything. So, here’s the weekly comic, hope you enjoy it, and apparently Mark Zuckerberg wants to steal our idea…
