Real TV

I'm extremely pleased to learn that Manhattan Neighborhood Network, New York's own supercool public access channel, streams its content on its website [http://www.mnn.org]. It's definately worth checking out if you're stuck inside cuz of the rain or snow. It was on MNN where I first beheld the work of Concrete TV [http://www.concretetv.com], and here's hoping you too experience the magic.

Incidentally, there's a great archive of public domain films and stock footage compiled by Rick Prelinger [http://www.archive.org/movies/prelinger.php] that makes these amazing films available for streamed viewing or for free download in a variety of formats. An archive like this could keep video collage artists in the pink for years.

Good kitty



So Simba got sick today. He's been grooming a lot out of boredom and he hwarfed up a big hairball that I swear looked like play-doh. It was kinda spooky tho - before he threw up, Simba startled mewling while hunkered really close to the ground. I was half way over to him when he finally let go. At least he took care to get sick on the towel I'd put over the spot on the rug where he threw up before, making clean up easy.

His nose continues to improve, but there's still a whole bottle of Clavamox to go.

He is with Him

I dunno why this fifteen seconds worth of Photoshop struck me as funny, but it did.

Shut up, Bentley

Now it can be told:

You're a friendly, funny guy (or girl) next door
With more than a touch of geekiness
