and it’s not April Fool’s… interesting article via boingboing.net

Atticus is the black sheep of the family…

* EDIT * Saturday 10am: If it’s too good to be true. It usually is.

and it turns out there’s a freeware application that stitches together your photos in minutes. Expect lots more photos like this one…

online tests that intrigues me, but I submitted this blog to an online good/evil calculator based on the ancient teachings of Madonna and the Kabbalah. and here are the results:

Yesterday we had an open house to try and find renters to take over our Alameda digs. About 15 couples passed through here and 10 of them left application forms so I’ve passed them on to the landlord and hopefully he won’t take long to choose one of them to take over the place come August.

Doctorcita took Atticus on a 3 hour walk in 95 degree heat (35ish celsius) while I was showing people around so that he wouldn’t try to strike up lasting friendships with any of the applicants. Atticus has also now been through a drive through car wash. I wanted to be there for that, but didn’t get to see it. You park in the middle of the machine while all kinds of jets and foam and detergents get blasted at you, everything goes dark… then after 8-10 minutes of craziness industrial dryers blast you with hot air and you’re good to go. Apparently as the first jet started Atticus jumped onto Sita’s lap and stayed there for the duration… Anyroad, all in all a very successful day.

The sunset was spectacular yesterday, it gave a gorgeous golden light and I took advantage and headed out with me camera. Here’re some of them on Flickr. I like the ones with the seagulls… If there’d been a few more clouds to the west it’d’ve been even better. Maybe this evening.

This week I’ve a few projects on still and there’s another visit to Santa Cruz, then some time next week we’re going to go house hunting in Portland. Anyone want to look after an American Eskimo/ Schipperke mutt for a few days?

Sita’s area of research for her PhD is the commodification of identity or the identity of commodification or some such, it all goes over my head really, anyroad, basically she’s studying tequila and its image. So this limited edition bottle we picked up yesterday from Shopper’s Corner should be worth a paragraph or two.
More DVDs arrived yesterday- Spaced Collector’s Edition and Nick Frost’s Danger 50,000 Volts. Great to watch Spaced again, but not as good as watching them round bethan’n’ali’s. Maybe it was the company, maybe the jaffa cakes, maybe the stella artois, or maybe all three. ‘Adam and Joe Go Tokyo’ was grand, they’re looking old though. Found some of their songs from the Adam and Joe Show here. My favourites’re the Robert DeNiro calypso, it’s been going round my head since I heard it again and the Bob Hoskins ‘How’s yer father, have a banana, etc.’ one. Enjoy!
I’ve been looking around some Massachusetts blogs and it’s been snowing there. i miss the cold weather and the attendant cancellations of classes, work, travel, etc. A ski trip to Tahoe is in the initial planning stags though, and they had 25 feet of white stuff in the last storm.
