What does Ed. look like?

An anonymous reader [Rufus Leaking, of Dildo, NL - Ed.] writes: The little "About Me" blurb at the upper right of your screen sometimes features a picture of Walt, and occasionally a cartoon of someone who I guess is Poor Len Canayen [Don't bet. Ed.], but you have never shown a picture of Ed. How about it?

Walt is always happy to answer a question from an assiduous reader. Here ya go...


I'm not sure if this is the Ed. that Rufus had in mind. This is Ed the mobile robot, the creation of researchers at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. Ed, and his partner Coach are designed and built to help and support people with disabilities, including dementia patients. Click here to read all about it.

And yes, helping people with disabilities does sound like our Ed.'s job description.
