Got some good stuff today, some of which I’ve been holding onto for a week or so. A little video-heavy, too.<\/p>\n

First, one of those quintessential Japanese culture things: a cute girl with cat ears. These, however, are controlled by brain waves. It’s everywhere now, but I found it at The Presurfer.<\/a><\/p>\n

When Marion and I were vacationing in Ecuador, we saw this volcano off in the distance. We saw a column of steam and ash, but nothing like this<\/a>, although we did hear an occasional booming in the distance. It doesn’t really look like the same mountain in my photos, but that could just be the vantage point from which we saw it.<\/p>\n

I’ve known some vicious cats in my time, but I would never have expected that I’d need to be medevac’d after a knife fight with one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whisky by the shot<\/a>. Via Cool Material<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A remake of When Harry Met Sally<\/em>? Looks like it has promise. Via Bad Example<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Harry Met Sally 2 with Billy Crystal & Helen Mirren<\/a> from Billy Crystal<\/a><\/div>\n

I missed Star Wars Day last week. Whether you did as well or not, you may enjoy these retro Star Wars propaganda posters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you prefer Star Trek to Star Wars, you may appreciate hearing that a German television station gave the Maquis credit for taking out Osama Bin Laden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I want one of these<\/a> when they’re available.<\/p>\n

Want a big photo of the sky<\/a>?<\/p>\n

A town with a population of 1<\/a>? Sounds sorta familiar<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
