My TweetsI’ve run across some funny internets lately, too funny to not share.
Those of you who know me will appreciate this more.
Batman! Best movie summary ever.

The following two videos are NSFW but even more hilarious than Non-NSFW material (NNSFW?). Follow the link to continue.

I am slowly winning back the counter space. SSSCAT is a cat behavior control device, consisting of a motion sensor and aerosol cat deterrent spray. Mitsy gets caught in the trap, taking a direct blast to her left ear. I love the tail as she scampers away.
I’m glad we finally got a good snow storm, because today the cats got to experience their first snow day! This was also the first time I used iMovie ‘09. It wasn’t able to reduce the wind noise like iMovie ‘06 can, but it integrates with my iPhone and Youtube effortlessly. I had to manually add the South Pole’s lat/lon to a text file for that map animation, which is otherwise completely automated. The precision editor is also helpful for lining up transitions:
This concludes my 3-part roundup of the best iPhone apps. I skillfully narrowed it down to only 42 apps. If you don’t see an app you think I should mention, or a broken link please leave a comment.
| Cat Piano | ||

I like me some iPhone games. The screen is so large and responsive. But who likes paying for stuff? Not me.

What better song to play on Cat Piano than the Meow Mix theme song? You know, from those cat food commercials. Mitsy and Ajax heard the meowing and came to investigate and Mitsy adds some of her own meows.
