Awesome Mustache

What is it about cats and printers?

I know it's shocking, but there are literally hundreds of videos like this. Cats and printers. Purrfect! [sorry, I couldn't resist]

[Thanks, Kevin!]

I really liked this list of songs from William Gibson.

Living With Music: A Playlist by William Gibson [NYT]

I especially enjoyed his descriptions of the music:

"The entrails of someone’s Very Bad 70s, spread and read years later on gorgeously-veined marble, the slab of immaculately classical proportions. Sky by Turner, Dantean overtones, that sublime perversity of swing."

Below is a little Amazon music thingie I whipped up from the list of songs. I only found 8 of 10. A good listen anyway. Enjoy!

"And lo, the visor was lifted and so began the harmonica music."

[Thanks, coffeesister =^@.@^=!]

While the obvious, "I feel happppy!" could easily apply to this image. I thought I would post a blank fo everyone to download and enjoy. Please leave a comment and a link if you snag it and do something funny. (click the image for the full size version...)

For the backstory, we turn to Ars Technica...

At 4:27 PM on Wednesday, Bloomberg accidentally published its 17-page obituary for Steve Jobs when it simply meant to apply some changes to the body. Investors who caught wind of the news before it was revealed to be a mishap were naturally spooked, according to Gawker, and the discussion around Jobs' closely guarded health has resumed again in some circles.

Enjoy!

The breakfast of champion composers!

[Note: YouTube recommended this video to me while I was eating fruity pebbles with my kids. Scary. Are they watching me through my laptop's camera?]

Volcano science kit turns out to be a dud, but mom comes to the rescue with the old baking soda and vinegar trick!

[Thanks, Max!]

More awesomeness that is awful and awesome! This time, Patrick Stewart sings the alphabet - complete with straw hat and cane (because you've got to have a straw hat and cane when you're alone on the bridge).

[Thanks, Tracey and Kevin!]
