we made for Yoda the kitten way back in university in Swansea… I say for Yoda, but it was blatantly for us. Make your own cat TV with a cardboard box, cellophane and a long stick. Nowhere near as cruel as this though, not even close:

I think March of the Valkyries would be a better soundtrack than “Under the Sea”…
And it has some very fancy Flash gallery options. Think I’ll stick to Flickr and Picasa locally though.
Early stages yet though, but it could be very hand if you need to quickly shop something on a friend’s computer.
Everyone else is doing it, so I thought I’d join in, here’s wordle.net’s word cloud of the last 10 posts or so… Atticus figures largely…
In other news, Somerset police have started sharing their best 999 calls with youtube. I’m torn for favourites, but it’s either “I’m not bein’ funny but… There’s a squirrel with no hazelnut trees” or “My wife’s left me two salmon sandwiches”. If this kind of minor internet celebrity doesn’t get them more prank calls I don’t know what will.
Gives the Welsh bloke inquiring about the bright white thing in the sky a run for his money mind.
New Flickr toys from Dumpr include this museumr one. Vanity publishing:
Sita was looking over her ballot forms last night and realised she had a ‘postal vote’. We tried ringing the council to find out what to do but it was closed. Turns out that everyone in Oregon gets a postal vote, so you can fill out the thing in the comfort of your own home, seal the envelope and drop it in a specially provided box down town. You don’t even have to wait till election day. Seems like a very good way of doing things to me.
I have to wonder if anyone got confused with the Ballet Center half a block away. I was about to head off there when I realised it was ‘et’ not ‘ot’.
Obviously, I hope to any deity listening that McCain-Palin are roundly sent packing and that the Califas Gay Marriage laws aren’t repealed. Shall be watching the Daily Show coverage and CNN this evening with DrSita, DrSudarat and DrMichelle. Here’s a post from 4 years ago. Jesse, as far as I know, is still a Massachusetts resident.
I get RSS notifications whenever anyone uploads a photo tagged with guadalajara, or taunton and various other things. I’m glad I didn’t miss this one, of the 629 which passes not far from here… Ivan’s photoblog, by the way, is at lensations.com and has some great (old school non digital) b&w shots. As I point out in the Flickr, comments, at least 629 reads the same upside down… Todo se puede en Mexico.
I used to be vegetarian, but those days are long gone. The BBQ’s back in action in our back garden, we brought it out of hibernation when bert and his dad, David, arrived last saturday. Tasty. I’m going to use Flickr to host my pictures for a while and talking of which, I have one more Pro account to give away. I signed up before they got taken over by Yahoo and slashed their prices and increased their services, so they’re giving me 2 free accounts. I’ve offered one to me Dad, still waiting for him to accept. The other’s for the next guest mappee to add themself. Don’t forget to include your email address. If you’re already on there, just email me asking nicely. First come, first served.
Fruitful, sleepy day today. Am now 95% officially a US permanent resident, just have to wait for me green card to arrive. They stamped me passport in the meantime. It’s a much more efficient system now, instead of queuing up at 5am and hoping to get in, they’ve got an automated online appt system. I was in and out within 15 minutes. It would have been less but I had to go back to the car to leave my PDA there cos it can take photos which could be disastrous for homeland security apparently.
anyroad, below is a 9.5 second file of Monday evening in Ciao bella with Bert, his Dad, Sita and me. In the clip it’s just bert looking suspicious then the camera panning up to see the ring of redwoods which the outside dining area’s in. It’s a bit dark and as ever, dial up users may feel a little dissappointed. Bert and co headed south yesterday, you may see them keeping well within the speed limit in one of the following places in the next few days: Monterey, Big Sur, Hearst Castle, Santa Barbara, L.A., Palm Springs, Las Vegas. It was grand to see them, I just wish I could have taken some time of work to spend relaxing with them. But that will come soon. He blogged cryptically…
CiaoBellawithBertandRedwoods.asf (585k file) I think ASF is fairly universally recognised. Comment me if not. Cheers- gwyn
