I only just found out about "cataloons" even though "I made you a cookie" was my introduction to lolcats.... I suppose technically this lovely kitteh isn't displaying cataloons but it's close enough for me :-)
My new favorite word, courtesy KSK (not for the easily offended).
Thanks TxB....

Ever wondered what your cat is looking at when they're focused on something you can't see? Apparently cat vision is subtitled....

I offered my opinion that it was for the same reason that many cultures use a base twelve system -- 12 signs in the Zodiac, 12 inches to the foot, two x 12 hours in a day, five x 12 seconds in a minute, same number of minutes in an hour, so on and so forth -- twelve is the highest number that can be counted to using one hand, and 144 is the highest number that can be counted to using both hands.
The blank look on his face was complete, total and final.
As was the look on my face as I read this. "Twelve? Is he out of his mind? How many thumbs does this dude have?" Half-suspecting a joke, I kept reading, and what he explained is so obvious that I'm kind of embarrassed. (Except for the fact that counting by twelve really doesn't seem very useful in my everyday life, so I guess I'm not really too worked up over it.)
Now that's a search term! I hope whoever wandered here on that one went away satisfied ;-)
I'm not entirely sure what Jeff Harrell is up to, but so far it's compelling. Start with Part One and then move forward to find more. As of this morning, he's up to Part Seven. I'm pointing it out this way instead of with a list of links to just the story parts because then you'll get to read the "regular" posts, too, like station breaks or intermissions. I kind of like the change of pace. Plus it's much less cutting and pasting ;-)
I should have known this would be on youtube! The MO and I almost fell out of our chairs laughing the first time we saw it.
From This Mom Blogs: It"s My Luck, You Know?
...if I"m playing in the pool with the kids, and my nose isn"t plugged, I"m doomed to suck in water every so often. Makes me think that some things are inherent in some people, and not in others.
(Wheeee, it's not just me! Just for kicks, I googled a bit and found two threads on the topic but not much sympathy ;-)
From Joel on Software: My First BillG Review
Bill came in.I thought about how strange it was that he had two legs, two arms, one head, etc., almost exactly like a regular human being.
He had my spec in his hand.
(What a great geek story! I mean really, how often do you get [OMG SQUEEE!] and Bill Gates in the same narrative, and it makes perfect sense?)
Gutenkarte has come up with an idea that would almost make me consider reading a book on-line.
They've sent the book's text through a parser that pulls out geographic locations and plots them on a map. That's pretty cool right there. But then, they also provide the text side-by-side with the map (click the Browse option at upper right once you've selected your text), and when you mouse over a locale, the map adjusts to center on that location.
I don't feel a whole lot of interest for this with fiction, other than general curiosity, but for historical accounts I think it's incredible! Now if someone could figure out how to parse in a timeline, and genealogy charts, I can imagine that I just might be able to retain something from a history book for once.

From Hog On Ice: I Grow Unfair, I Grow Unfair
He's all pouty now because I canned his link and refused to let him speak TRUTH to POWER!
God, how I hate that expression. You can't "speak to power." Power isn't a person. It can't hear. Speaking to power is like speaking to entropy or size or any number of nouns that represent abstract concepts which have no consciousness and no location.
He didn't actually say "speak truth to power." I'm just drifting here.
Some people speak truth to power. I speak flatulence to width. I speak menopause to arbitrage. Top that, pretentious pinheads who screw up the English language.
(What the web needs now is a "speak this to that" generator ;-)

Hey internet, my dad is on the web!
Here he is rebuilding the generator in his GMC motorhome (scroll down to March 15, 2006). If you just happen to have a GMC coach lying around, this is the place to take it. Dad says they do everything from insane engine rebuilds to custom slide-out additions. My dad was a salesman, so he can detect bullshit from miles away, and he has said for years that these guys are the real deal. At this point, I'd practically (but not quite ;-) trust them with my BabyCar.
Hey Dad, tell Jim he need an RSS feed ;-)
In an article in today's Chronicle, I find this sentence:
In the classic play Pygmalion, the importance of an accent is proved when character Henry Higgins alters Eliza Doolittle's speaking style and changes her life.
Wow. I have to admit a gap in my cinematic education regarding Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle (yes, I know Joe and Marianne are just dying inside right now ;-) but I do know that they weren't named by the ancient Romans. (I'm sorry. 1910 is not "classic" when the original story goes back this far.)

Shelley Powers: Flitter
I wasn"t expecting much when I arrived; I've been to other butterfly houses, and the number of visitors seemed to be disproportionately larger than the number of butterflies. However, when I entered the Butterfly House, within a few seconds a dead leaf butterfly landed on the shoulder of the man in front of me. I would have taken a photo but the hot and humid room had fogged all my lenses. It would take close to half an hour for the lenses to come unfogged; just about the time when I was getting red faced and drenched in sweat, having foolishly dressed for winter.
(This one's for you, Mom :-)
How cool is this?? You register at postcrossing and then request an address. They email you an address from another registered user along with a postcard id. You send this person a postcard, including the postcard id. When they receive it, they log its receipt, and then you're eligible to receive a postcard. It's like chainmail but funner :-)

Run, do not walk, to pandora.com. The concept is simple and BRILLIANT. You tell it an artist or a song that you like, and it streams similar music for you. But (this is key) they don't classify by "genre" (stooopid) or even by artist. They analyze each song individually. So if you happen to like the one cool song on some lame new artist's album, you're going to get other cool songs instead of all the other lame songs by the same artist. Oh, and it's FREE. It's like having the KTRU djs at your disposal, without the frickin' reggae show (which SUCKS, by the way, just in case any KTRUers ever read this--if you have to have this show, at least move it to 2am or something and NOT at rush hour, 'mkay?)
The Shape of Days: Part of being an adult is knowing how not to be an ass
What are we, four years old again? People, this isn't that complicated an idea: Don't be an ass. If somebody asks you not to take their picture, say you're sorry and move along. Don't insist that "photography is not a crime." Of course it's not, and everybody knows it, and dammit, you know perfectly well that's not the issue. The issue is that when people are made uncomfortable by something you're doing, you should stop. That's called being courteous. It's called being respectful. It's called not being an ass.
(A bit of follow-up here: Hammering in my head and discussion here: Hassled for photography?.)
I quickly answered these questions and came up smack dab in the middle. That is to say, you just couldn't get any middler. (I know that's vague, but I don't want to give away the scoring system.) I'm not sure what that means, but I hope the MO won't divorce me over it, as I expect he would come up pretty solidly on the conservative end ;-)
(Oooooh, I think he's looking at it now, so we'll know soon!)
The Shape of Days: A glimpse into a pondering on social equity
Trying to be an entrepreneur is like playing single-zero roulette on a rigged table with, like, no ball. And betting on 40. Sure, the payoff will be astronomical if you win, but you're not gonna win, so what the hell?

ARMY is in the lead! Only a few more days to go--the fundraiser ends on Veteran's Day (November 11). It looks like we're about half-way there if you add up the totals for the four teams.
All the info is at the Project Valour IT home page. Make sure to read to the history of this particular project. BlackFive has a link to flyers to post around town.
But seriously, no matter what your connections are, consider this fundraiser:
I can't even imagine being unable to type. I make my living typing--arranging all those stupid 1s and 0s so that Company X can talk to Company Y. And any of my family would quickly tell you I'm much more likely to answer an email than my cell phone. I don't even have a land line....
For Grandfather Deam, Uncle Sonny and Mr. Manning, GO ARMY!

Update:
W00t!! The Army Team contribution has increased by $1000 since I started composing this post!
Update 2:
The Army Team met (and exceeded!) its goal. Thank you everybody!!
but I kind of like the results:
| King Edward I You scored 68 Wisdom, 73 Tactics, 53 Guts, and 51 Ruthlessness! |
Or rather, King Edward the Longshanks if you've seen Braveheart. You, like Edward, are incredibly smart and shrewd, but you win at any costs.... William Wallace died at his hands after a fierce Scottish rebellion against his reign. Despite his reputation though, Longshanks had the best interests of his people at heart. But God help you if you got on his bad side. |

Way better than a copy machine! Now if I just had a camera in my phone....
Queenie (guest posting on Gut Rumbles): (note: linked post is rated R) Gator Pride
A veritable sea of orange and green [sic], and our whole Holiday Inn filled with rabid, drunken Gator fans. They roamed the halls, heavily medicated, shouting "GATORS!" at everyone they passed.... Our first night in the hotel, all night long. "GAAAAYDURRRRRS!". I'd try to sleep. "GAAAAAYDURRRRS!". At breakfast, "GAAAYDURRRRS!".

Three Years of Hell to Become the Devil: Textualism and a Certain Misplaced Sympathy
The headline currently on the front page of the Greying Lady seems like a Scrappleface parody.To More Inmates, Life Term Means Dying Behind Bars
To which many non-legal or non-NYT readers likely responded, "Well, yeah. What exactly does 'life' mean otherwise?"
(Reportage or editorial? Oh, it's the NYT, never mind--that's a rhetorical question....)
(Diskies? Discees? Whatever -- disc in the affectionate diminutive form....)
Woohoo! I received my first set of discs from the Dual Disc Debacle swap today. Greg sent Pissed Off Chicks (excellent theme) and Crazy Dream (complete with tie-dye).
These go to work with me tomorrow for listening. I think including "Cell Block Tango" from the Chicago soundtrack on the Pissed Off Chicks disc was inspired....
I am so excited to finally actually receive some discs! I do know that one of my sets made it to its destination, but I haven't heard about the others. I would think even the overseas ones should be there by now, as I sent them Priority Mail on September 16....
Our very own Mad Oilman was quoted (more or less) on CNN! Laurence has the excerpt and a link to the transcript, so you can search for the Famous Quote yourself ;-)
I wandered through the list of participants in the Dual Disc Debacle and some folks have already received all of their cds! I am so jealous! I don't have any yet :-( I did find another who hasn't received any yet, so I left a sympathetic comment. For now I'm blaming it all on Rita, but I want discs next week, darnit :-)
What is Cats in Sinks? It's obvious. It's about cats. And kittens.Who like sinks. And basins. And that's it.
(there's not really much to add to that...)
I have tentative playlists for my Dual Disc Debacle cds. I'm doing an Abecedarium, with some license because I figure Magpies aren't too persnickety about their alphabets and because 26 songs isn't enough to fill up two cds. Test discs are burned for the MO to try out in the car tomorrow. I expect a ... moderate ... reaction because I know that he really hates some of my music, but it's quite a mixed bag (I defy you to put together a single-genre abecedarium (by artist, not by song) from your existing collection) so I think there's something for everyone, even a headbanger like him ;-) and while there are a couple of rough transitions, as a whole I think it works.
The next task is the artwork. Yippee!!
Bill's Comments: Hard-Boiling Eggs
Why am I writing about this? After all, it's simple, put the eggs in water, boil them a while, cool them, and peel them. Then why are the yolks green sometimes and why don't they always peel? Huh? ... If you are happy with your boiled eggs, skip to another post, this may be boring (It will certainly be more than you ever wanted to know about it.). If not, then read on.

2Slick: I've Got Mail!
thanks for protecting the saudi royal family and lining dick cheney's pockets once again.Thank you for giving me so much credit! I feel like I helped to protect a lot of people from a lot of bad things, and of course that makes me feel good. If you were especially concerned for the Saudi royals, then I'm glad to have helped put your mind at ease about that. I, for one, was more concerned about protecting my buddies on the battlefield as well as my friends and family back home, but we all have our priorites.
(2Slick fisks a less-than-complimentary email and delightfully perverts the sender's original sentiments.)
The Shape of Days: Jeffy descends into retail Hell and returns bearing wisdom
...all of that is based on the assumption that you're in a rational, natural and internally consistent environment. If you were in the woods, you'd be fine. But you're not in the woods. You're in a CompUSA.
So I've joined a new swap--this time it's musical! You build a playlist and burn an audio cd (in this case, two cds) to swap, five-for-five. I haven't decided on a theme yet. I'm thinking either opposites (for the two discs--boys/girls, love/hate, rain/sunshine, etc.) or maybe an abecediary. Two cds should hold twenty-six songs, if some of them are short. This swap even comes with its own button (see the monkeys on the sidebar :-) so that's kinda cool.

What's the Rumpus: Because I could really go for one right now...
(Exactly!)
I re-visited this 17th Airborne remembrance site the other day:
Dad was a veteran of World War II,
and served in the Glider Infantry
and was attached, for most of his service
as an infrantryman,
to the 17th Airborne Division,
during the Battle of the Bulge
and other critical engagements
and in the comments found out about these guys who are a group that hosts a multi-player first-person shooter on-line. (I think. I admit to not being really up-to-date on this stuff.) Anyhow, someone there has put together two videos (see the lower right section of the site). One of them is a photo tribute "to the real soldiers of the 17th" and the other is built from scenes from the video game itself. They're both worth watching, and are moving in different ways.
I think it's pretty neat that someone from this group took the time to seek out the men whose "brotherhood" they've chosen to represent in their game, and especially that they respect the history.

Time to update the blogroll, which I've been meaning to do for a while anyhow. This is as good a reason as any....
(Just couldn't resist all that alliteration.)
So I got myself a Flickr account and I'm messing around with it. The previous post was created from within Flicker (cool!) but I don't know why it looks double-spaced. Too tired to deal with it now, but maybe I'll figure it out over the weekend.... I sure hope it's stays this pretty for a while--I'm ready for a break from the rain!
Just go on and read this. It'll either make sense or it won't. And if it doesn't, well, bless your heart, there's hope for you yet, I'm sure.

Update: The Carnival is specifically here.
Of course every dork and their brother is going to link to this one and in retrospect, I guess that's kind of stupid because if you don't read the dooce regularly, this post probably isn't quite so funny, and if you do read her regularly, you will have already read it.... Oh well. I'm linking anyway because it made me laugh out loud and that's always worth sharing, even if nobody else gets it.

In a relationship, you require lots of attention and support. You often over-contribute and end up feeling depleted and cheated. You may benefit from more time alone than you grant yourself.
Your driving force is the emotional support of others--especially affection. You can run on empty for miles if you have positive energy behind you. Without it--as it occasionally must run dry--you are depressive, listless, and difficult to motivate.
You need a lot of affection. Get it any way you can, but never at the cost of your self-respect or well-being.

Mr. Wisdom offers a mad-libesque formula for generating a fearsome war cry. So far my favorite example (in the original context) is skinbad's (11th comment) but it seems to me this is kind of a multi-purpose tool. For example, the saucy squirrel in Kim's reader's story yesterday might have considered
We the cleverly scurrilous fluffy-tailed brigade of nutmunchers are eagerly looking for the big clumsy hairless ones to come to our impenetrable and cozy winter hideout for a biblical-style ass whoopin' since they are petunias and will be weeded out of the garden of warmth like the trembling flowers they are by our long-toothed big scary squirrels of fear.
That would be the royal we, of course, in this case.
Here's a great streaming source from The Grand Staircase: Radio Paradise - eclectic online rock radio. Based on the four or five songs I've heard so far, this is less edgy than KTRU, but entirely enjoyable. After all, KTRU does dissolve into unlistenable noise experiments on a fairly regular basis, and there's always the insufferable reggae show (aaaaaghhh kill me now!) on Wednesday afternoon (during my drive home! why????).
Update: MUCH less edgy. My husband should not go here.

- Search Plugins for Firefox via Research Buzz. The WhoIs Source plugin is very cool. (Check your domain, Dad! You might be surprised at what's available ;-)
- Whether it's Philosophical Bill and Mathematical Bill, Bill's Comments are usually highly engaging.
- The Coudal Partners site is a smorgasbord of goodness.

These snippets aren't individually archived, but here are the endpoints of two recent examples: Fire Requiem, billed as "Carl Orff meets the power chord" (you know that caught my attention!) and Maritime Postcard Galleries, a likely candidate for The Museum of Online Museums.
