Wow, these are awesome!
So Cool!!
I seriously (apart from thinking that they are cool, which they, indeed, are) wonder if my cat would be fooled by the 3D aspect.
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
Dick Van Dyke and the Vantastix
…whose name only reminds me of Diagnosis: Murder.
Oh, and the song is indeed nice. :)

Piano Sonata No. 14 in C ♯ Minor | Ludwig van Beethoven
It has been too long, my good friend Ludwig.
Anyone per chance remember the ’80s PC game whose opening theme was this song? I’m sitting here tearing out my figurative head hair trying to work it out.
Symeon of Trier
…can I call it “Symeon” for short?

Barrett Rich is a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives for the 94th District… hmmm….
St. Anthony Falls Bridge… um, OK.
I think that Winston Méndez Montero would be insulted, so it is probably best if I should stay out of this one…

My own excuse was that I had a reason – teachers’ college (first, I was in primary teacher training, and then I was trying to decide on a topic for a BA(Hons) or MA thesis or report) – to buy the stuff. That did kind of work with me and justifying pulling out my wallet until I got married (thus eloping with a GradDipArts instead), and took a break from grad school…

I assume that the other (sibling?) kid got a cluestick to the effect that his idea was a bad one…
Why I’m raising my son to be a nerd - CNN.com (via lavvocato)
At my high school, the year-end academic awards ceremony happened at night and was optional, but the sports awards were an event that took place during the school day, in the auditorium, with everyone required to attend.
My freshman year, I brought a book and read during the sports awards. I was scolded by a teacher for not clapping, and when I said, “But this is a school. So we’re encouraged to read, right?” she gave me the nastiest look.
The next year, the principal pulled me aside after the ceremony and tried to guilt trip me for not applauding for the “hard-working athletes.” I told her, “They don’t have to clap for me at academic awards night. They don’t even have to go. So why should I be required to clap for them?” She left me alone.
The next year no one said a word to me about reading.

Ouch…
They never really had any interest in me, and for years afterward I thought that it was odd that they’d take their three-year-old cousin to the movies.
And then I figured it out: They wanted to see the movie, but they were too cool for kiddie cartoons. I was their cover story.
So that’s why my toddlerhood neighbour’s granddaughter seemed to stock up on junk food, especially when taking me and my sibling to the park or the movie theatre… I knew it!
She got a bag of chippies, while I got a lemonade ice block, at least for the time I remember in sufficient completeness.
I was just in Vegas with some friends and one of them left his iPhone on the table at the center bar in New York New York Casino. After leaving the casino he realized he had forgotten it and we ran back but within minutes his iPhone was gone. I turned on the “Find my iPhone” app and we tracked it across the street at the Tropicana Casino parking garage but were unable to find it because someone turned it off. The next day we used my computer and found it at an outlet mall 10 miles north… so we jumped in the car and decided his iPhone is now Doug (from the Hangover). We narrowed it down to 5 Kiosks but we couldn’t hear the alert because it was too loud and then we lost the signal. Someone had turned off the phone but we didn’t see anyone with an iPhone… except one guy at this Gadget Kiosk selling iPhone solar chargers. My friend asked how the charger worked and noticed the phone wasn’t turned on and asked why. The guy said because it wasn’t his… they were just using it to demonstrate how the charger worked. My friend said, “You know why you can unlock it… because it’s mine.” He unlocked the phone and we filed a police report. We would have never been able to find it if the iPhone didn’t have this option. It was an awesome adventure. Thanks “Find my iPhone”!!!!
