short takes

There is a fountain in the courtyard outside my (work) building. Last year they turned it off in the winter, but it's currently on. The mix of flowing water, frozen water cascade, and ice in the basin is striking. Maybe I'll remember to take my camera with me tomorrow.

My cat Erik is fond of canned tuna. Actually, he is especially fond of the water. A few days ago he was ignoring the solids but lapping up the water, so I made more. I was able to leech out several rounds of tuna juice (I thought of almond milk while doing so) before the solids lost their ability to produce. Silly cat! (Yes, he's now eating solids, so whatever it was passed.)

Funny video #1, circulating on SCA mailing lists: toyota jousting.

Funny video #2, from brokengoose: cat washing machine.

Edited to add: Dani just showed me a candidate for most specialized blog on the net. The current entry doesn't make it real clear what's going on, but scroll down to some of the other pictures and you'll see. :-)

You might be interested to know that the lower-case L blog belongs to the guy who does the ShaBot 6000 online strip about an Orthodox Jew and his Shabbos goy, ShaBot, who happens to be a robot. It's pretty funny: www.shabot6000.com.

while i enjoyed the cat washing machine, i am a bit perplexed that it wasn't just water but water and soap. poor kitty with that stuff in its mouth and eyes!

I couldn't tell if that was soap or just spray. Soap would be unfortunate. :-(
