Jr hits the blog! Wow! What an accomplishment!

Hello all!
Oh my, we've really got something to talk about today!
No joke at all!
Most of the time, we try to stay on-topic about technology on this blog, but today, we needed to take some time to write a funny article about this really funny guy.
The funny guy that we will be talking about today is a guy from Denison, Ia.
Jr Paully!
Folks, if you don't know who Jr Paully is, you will soon learn!
Trust me!
hahaha!
Anyway, this guy is sooooooooo funny!
Let me tell ya why!
First, you go to an auction, and basically, it's just sun-burned serious stuff.
Oh no, not when you walk into this place.
First, you get the pleasant smell of Jr's air freshner, also known as manure!
hahahahahahahahaha!
lol!
Then, there's the jokes!
Who knows what you'll hear him joking about in there during the sale.
Let's cover some of the stuff I heard today, when selling my cattle.
Jr: "Are you gunna keep all this money for yourself, or give some of it to your mom?"
Me: "Well, I think I'll keep it for myself!"
Jr: "ahh, your gunna keep it for yourself, I figured that."
Jr: "Yah, he said mom, if I make money off these calvs I am keeping it for myself. If I lose mony, then these are your cattle."
hahahahahahahahaha!
Ok, so after they sell my steers and all that, there was a steer in the ring that was blind.
I saw them trying to help him, and that's excellent!
As a result, I'm posting this here for Jr.
Guess what?
Remember when the Americans with Disibilities act, ADA, was written in 1990?
Well guess what?
The Cattle with Disibilities Act, CDA, was written in 2010!
Here is what it says
Rule number 1.
Be sure to try to help them in any way.
Rule number 2.
Give there trailer guide a bell if a calf is blind.
Rule number 3.
If blind, give them a cc, otherwise known as a cattle cane!
If unable to walk, give them a cattle chair, to stear themselves around with at least one of there hooves.
So there you go, the CDA is now complete!
Ok!
Here we go!
The moment we've all ben waiting for!

Hello, and greetings to all!
I am pleased to make yet another announcement!
Techy Tidbits is continueing to grow rapidly, and that's excellent!
I'm proud to announce the birth of The Techy Tidbits podcast!

It informs people about the latest and greatest assistive technology out there in today's complex technological world.

Even though these tutorials may be abit out of date, they are still a good resource.
Access watch also lists several resources for finding blindness related tutorials and podcasts.
Also, some assistive technology that we buy, also may come with a few cd's.
Depending on what kind of piece of equipment this piece of assistive technology is, one may consist of software, and one may consist of a tutorial.
99.9% of the time, these cd's will usually be brailled.

Finding Email Lists

Greetings!
In today's article, we will be talking about good sources for finding email lists.
First, though, what is an email list?
An email list is a service that people will post messages to, and the server, then has a full database of email addresses, and the server then tells the list, ok, send the message that was just posted by John to all of these email addresses.
As a result, everyone that has subscribed to the list, gets that message.
Ok, now that we know what an email list is, how do we find them?
Well, there are several email lists out there on the net these days.
A good source for finding thousands of lists is
Free Lists
Another good source for finding email lists is
Yahoo Groups
And, yet another good source is
Google Groups
Whether you're blind or sighted, there is an email list out there for you!
I hope you have found this article helpful, and you are encouraged to call are comment line at 206-337-4505 and leave us your feedback!
Please note: The comment line is just a voicemail box, so you may call anytime.
