For those of you that are cat fans, I figured you might find these two comics from Get Fuzzy particularly funny. I’m not a cat person, and I still chuckled. I’m guessing he’s going to have several days of these. You should put Get Fuzzy on your daily reading list if you haven’t already.

I know that my cousin is a total Lost junky right now, watching all the episodes from the first season. Unfortunately, he’s bummed he missed last week’s premiere. Luckily…

ABC to repeat ‘Lost’ season premiere

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC will postpone Wednesday’s scheduled premieres of 8-9 p.m. comedies "George Lopez" and "Freddie" for one week to make room for a rerun of the season premiere of "Lost," which will lead into the drama thriller’s second episode at 9 p.m.

I’m sorry if the new external link icons that I’ve added don’t work correctly for you. They work fine in Firefox. The problem happens if the link they are attached to gets wrapped to a new line. IE decides to put the image at the end of the first line, rather than at the end of the div which is wrapped into the next line.

Eventually they will get their shit to be compliant with the standards. In the meantime, I’m willing to let it stay ugly for those few occassions.

Yoiked from Wired:

Bird Plus Plane Equals Snarge

It’s a bird; it’s a plane; it’s a snarge. That’s what Smithsonian scientists call the result of a collision between a bird and a plane. Analyzing snarge DNA could lead to less snarge.

As a followup, did you know that there is an Official FAQ regarding birds striking airplanes? I just figured we all needed one more thing to fear while flying, because having your landing gear not working and being forced to crash land isn’t enough.

The last time I had a book in my hands was when Jean and Alia were in the hospital. I needed something to pass the time, so I was reading  The War of Souls Trilogy part of the DragonLance Series. I got to the middle of the second book, but haven’t gone back to finish it.

I hate to have to make time to read, but I always find that when I eventually do sit down with a book, I realize how much I’d missed it.

What should I read next? is what it says…you enter the title and author of a book you like and the site will suggest something for you to read next.

That’s a pretty cool concept. We typically get our book recommendations from our friends, but why not use the resource of others? Granted, this is based on the premise that you’re interested in reading the same kinds of novels again, rather than a springboard of other books read by people who enjoyed this one.

That’s why I like the recommendation system on Netflix. They base recommendations on other movies watched by people who enjoyed this same movie as you. So it finds a common element and lets you build from there. Speaking of Netflix, if any of you have an account, send me a friend invite, or let me know that you have one. That why we can make more personlized recommendations… springing from the word “recommendation”, I highly recommend Netflix. If you need more information on that subject, contact me personally.

Ok, back on track.. books.. You can actually use Amazon in a similar way. When you search for a book/movie/etc. it shows you what other people who bought that item also bought. So you can find yourself some interesting products you might not have already thought of.

It’s funny to login to Amazon now and see my starting page with all the recommendations based on the past things I’ve bought from them, and the things thaty think I want to buy.

Please… put me out of my misery for being in pain just *thinking* about the fact that this could happen. Granted, it’s not that often that I’m carrying large sacks of grain, but still…

We think that Pirates are cool, only because we don’t have an ongoing fear every day of having to walk the plank. I love Photoshop contests! I really like to see the creativity shine.

I think the Hamster pirate in the following contest is my favorite:

If Pirates Ruled photoshopping contest

Today’s Worth1000 photoshopping contest theme is "If Pirates Ruled" — some wonderful stuff there for a little belated Talk Like a Pirate Day action.
