Comfortable Cat, originally uploaded by *eSThER*.

Yes, it’s a cat photo on my blog, and it’s not even my cat. Still, every blog needs a cat photo now and again.

I’m not sure how I feel about this, but it’s pretty obvious the doctors throught they were doing the right thing, given the circumstances. It’s a sure bet, though, that someone’s going to be incensed about this, and heads— no doubt— will roll. Do Good Samaritan laws extend to euthanasia? (or does this not apply, since they were medical personnel?)

Doctors working in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans killed critically ill patients rather than leaving them to die in agony as they evacuated hospitals, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

What is it about green chicks that make them so damn sexy?

(Yes, yes, I know some are more blue than green. Work with me here.)

…I could get rid of the very loud car stereo from all the way across the parking lot that woke me up this morning.

I’d been meaning to scan this in ever since my San Diego trip, written by my friend Dave’s girlfriend:

I’m a little fuzzy on the exact circumstances, but I believe I gained ‘hero’ status because I agreed with her on some point during dinner that Dave didn’t. Still, nice to be a 5-minute hero every once in a while. 😉

Man, what the hell was I thinking letting this sit on my shelf for ten months? (…and yes, I think that’s a record for being a lazy-ass with my Netflix rentals.) Sure, it’s a feel-good tear-jerker, but man is it a good one. And it’s got rockets! That blow up! And it’s funny! C’mon!

NASA! Rockets! Geeks in the 50s! You know you want it!

Well, we just lost power in the house for about fifteen seconds, but it’s nice to the that the UPS that the server is running on actually works. I should probably remember to install the PowerChute software on the new machine soon, so if I happen to be asleep at, say, 1:53 am, it’ll turn itself off if the battery runs out.

P.S.: Remind me to buy a bigger UPS at some point, so it’ll run on battery for more than 16 minutes.
