Steph, do you think this is a cat ready to whack a pesty dog?

I think he could hold his own in a run-in with Pablo. :-)

Let me just say that when this icon pops up and one happens to be listening to "Loser" by Beck at the same time, and said song's beat happens to be timed amazingly well to the movement of said cat, the results are pretty funny. Next I'm going to try watching the cat to the tune of "Love is like a Butterfly" by Dolly Parton. Awesome.

OK, I'm jealous, because apparently said kitty is MOVING on everyone else's screen!

Yes, jMo, that is what it looks like, although he looks a little too happy for that!

Ok, that was hilarious. My kids liked it as well. This tip goes with the KISS philosophy of design - Keep It Simple Stupid!

Except I pray no designer ever uses that cat - simple as it may be - except as an object of ridicule.

Blu-Ray Tip of the Day

Well it's official .

The other competitor was "HD DVD", not to be confused with regular "DVD" that we know and love. This whole deal was just what would be the new standard for HD movies. Regular old DVD will still be with us for many years to come for sure, but if you want to watch the latest movies on your big widescreen TV, then you might want to consider Blu-Ray as it will take advantage of every last pixel.

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
