As promised yesterday, here’s a fun and simply feel good post. As luck would have it I was just sent this little video today – talk about providence.
The unexpected interactions among animals, at least as far as we’re concerned, continue to amaze and delight those of us lucky enough to see their antics, and often just their everyday cute behaviour. Whether it’s that Continue reading
Choice is good. Both in terms of the act of choosing and as a range of options from which to choose. That’s why I’m so glad to see more and more different tablet computers entering the market. Many owe their success and greater notoriety to Apple. Just as they did… Continue reading
I just found something new going for Apple’s iPad. It’s got the kitty seal of approval, as evidenced by Iggy the cat who investigates the iPad in the video below. Only makes sense though that cats should approve of computers in general, what with that whole mouse thing. Good thing… Continue reading
I was sent a cool little video that’s bit of a different take on the traditional palindrome. Instead of the usual Madam, I’m Adam letter by letter technical palindrome, this 1 minute 44 second video is palindromic line by line. It takes the idea of word-order palindromes to another level with whole lines getting reversed here.
While listening, it’s even more effective and impressive to read along as the words scroll by. I liked not trying to think ahead, or read ahead; trying not to imagine what the opposite direction would be like as it was scrolling forward. It made it that much better to then see it unfold backwards later. Continue reading
In light of the futuristic nature of yesterday’s post, I thought it might be fun to look at a few crazy gadgets that while inspired by the future, are actually available today. More specifically, Star Trek coming to us now in a new way. Memorabilia attached to movies and television… Continue reading
In addition to meaningful and serious moments on Oscar night, such as The Cove’s win as Best Feature Documentary, there were also silly, trivial, and even bizarre ones as well. But perhaps my favourite that night came not during the show, but afterwards as I happened to catch part of… Continue reading
The Cove just won Best Feature Documentary at last night’s Oscar celebration. It could not have happened at a better time. Dare I hope, eternal optimist I am, that maybe things are aligning to actually do something about animal captivity and abuse? But what a terribly huge and unfair price… Continue reading
I just saw an incredible clip of Jean-Michel Cousteau commenting on that tragedy at SeaWorld, and so want to share it below. In 2 minutes, he provides so much information and understanding of the situation, all intercut with video of orcas both free in the ocean, and captive in tanks.… Continue reading
After writing yesterday’s post on MP3 turntables, I was thinking about all the great music of decades gone by. Some we continue hear relatively frequently, but there are other songs I wish were heard more often. Obviously that’s why we each get to build our own collection, be it analog… Continue reading
For cats and birds, no expression connecting the two immediately comes to mind. We’ve got the ‘fight like cats and dogs’ one that has so often been disproved a la Animal Friends style, or even the Wizard of Oz line paraphrased for Lion, Tiger, and Bear… But for the furry… Continue reading
