Some people like to have fun with their cats, and I don't know if this video is funny or mean or both. The funny part is watching how the cat reacts, and I think the meanest part comes when it's time to remove the tape. I hope they're gentle...

The music and colors in this game are soothing, but play for a while and see how long you remain calm.

Especially if you have a very long name, consider getting an email account from this place and, then give it out to people you don't really want to hear from, such as creditors and strange people you meet. Of course, you may have difficulty yourself trying to check the account.

I would love to see one of these works of art in real life at some point. I've been seeing this guy's work over the last few months in pictures all over the internet. Do you have any additional information on the artist?

Judge not lest ye be judged

Time for something less serious than my last posting. Interestingly enough, I'm posting this during the other major holiday weekend of summer in the USA, Labor Day.

Remember the "Play the guitar on the MTV...Money for nothin' and the chicks for free" song? Well, take a listen to Enrique Iglesias "secretly" taped from his microphone at a lip-synched concert performance. It doesn't sound much different than if I was to sing the same song, although I hope I might do a little better. To be fair, lip-synch is often required when a performance includes a lot of choreography. To dance and sing at the same time, might cause the singer to run out of breath and compromise both the singing and the dancing.

And also consider this picture... The performer has to interact with the audience when crazy fans run up on stage.

So, you see, there's often much more going on underneath the surface than what we might think at first glance.
