    Riley’s Self Image

    Riley looks just like this when he's grabbed his favorite boingy-boingy toy in his mouth and tries to walk off with it before getting pulled back by the elastic cord. Just now David was playing with him upstairs and we had a case of "wacky cat" right on the bed. Riley went completely spazzy for the toy, and we were lounging at either end of it just laughing hysterically at him. Then he collided with the laptop and decamped for the relative safety of the floor. Funny little kitty!

    Getting Fitter

    I’m at the end of my third week of the 6-week fitness deal I got through work,and it’s quite evident that it’s starting to pay off. I’ve lost a few pounds, but more importantly, I’ve gained muscle mass, or at least muscle tone. Last week’s tally: I was somewhat slack at the beginning of the week, especially when I missed my original personal trainer session. But I picked up and got in Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday morning, had a trainer session that day, and yesterday morning. Plus, today David and I got in to Bally’s, and I did a…

    With The Teapot In The Hotel Bar By Colonel Mustardovich

    Boing Boing: Murdered spy Litvinenko was killed with radioactive teapot British officials say police have cracked the murder-by-poison case of former spy Alexander Litvinenko, including the discovery of a “hot” teapot at Londons Millennium Hotel with an off-the-charts reading for Polonium-210, the radioactive material used in the killing. Holy CRAP, what a development. I suspect that actually the poison was introduced into the tea so that Litvinenko would drink it, and the radioactivity is just a carryover of that. How horrifying to think of all the people afterwards who might have used the teapot, or handled it, but fortunately it…

    Welcome to Blogaria, Journalist Citizen Mullen

    Here's a familiar byline I used to enjoy reading in the Salt Lake Trib – Holly Mullen makes a welcome addition to the rest of the citizen journalists of Blogaria. Or journalist citizens – it works both ways.   mullentown » Blog Archive » How to Survive January All I can see of the Wasatch Mountains today is a faint outline. Same for the Oquirrhs to the west. The smog has swallowed them. It’s gone on far too long — a winter smogfest and temperature inversion going on three weeks now. The air is so chalky, sooty thick I gave…

    The Buzz on Aldrin: Space, the Future, and Extremes

    WIRED Blogs: Table of Malcontents Me: Are you optimistic as to what the future holds? Aldrin: We’re kind of a greedy society and very impatient. We are not thinking about twenty or thirty years into the future. We have to look ahead and see what we are gambling with. There’s no guarantee that our way of life is going to continue. I’m very concerned about the things that threaten us today. Me: Like what? Aldrin: Like extremism. The suicide bomber is a weapon of mass destruction. How do you stop it? How do you re-educate people who are predisposed to…
