Two best kitty vids to date

First, the ever-popular "gossiping kittys":



Secondly, the newcomer "playing dead but still meowing kitty":



I'm noticing a chirpy-meowing theme among kitty vids I consider "best ever." Time will tell if the pattern holds up, I suppose.

International Web Site Breakage

For all the Francophilic techno-geeks out there...IIS en français!

People, this is an historic moment

So, I like to use the phrase "Frappuccino glasses" to describe a certain optical frame style that is prevalent among Bay Area hipsters. I knew I got this phrase from a Daily Show piece from the 2004 election, but amazingly, I could not find it on YouTube (gasp!).

However, The Daily Show's website now has every Jon Stewart episode ever online. And I found the clip! Apparently, Frappuccino glasses are a warning sign that your college student supports Nader...I don't know about that, but it's a funny clip. Enjoy:

As I join the 21st century...

I figured it's about time I had a blog, so here it is. Topics will include, but not be limited to:

• Computers


• Pretty pictures of San Francisco


• Critters


• Why Republicans are stupid


• My various singing/performing endeavors (including event dates, when applicable)


• Recipes


• Miscellaneous information about my life that other people might care about


• Random questions I have about the world (e.g. Is it possible to physically grab a web site and throw it out the window? If so, there is a site I would very much like to do this to forthwith; further information would be most welcome)


• Probably, rants about how people have bad grammar (pitiful but totally possible)

And off I go...!
