…to head down south. Just uploaded some photos Mom sent of about an inch of ice on the trees up there. Jason also posted some pics of ice damage in Cincinnati. Boy, I don’t miss that kind of thing at all. Snow’s pretty and everything, but I hated shovelling it and hated driving in it even more.
It’s back to being in the low-thirties in the morning and mid-forties in the afternoon here. But last week we had a couple days in the high sixties, so you can never tell.
If you were here last night, you’d have found out. Picture it. Salem casually walking past the fireplace. Suddenly, its thermostat kicks on and the flame ignites.
Salem jumps away, startled, but is strangely intrigued. What is this glowing thing? It feels so warm and cozy and I can’t look away. Maybe I’ll get a little closer. Hmm, that chain thing is open just enough for a paw to fit through. I’ll just reach on in and……SWEETMERCIFULCRAP!!!
Long story short, Salem got babied for a while and the place smelled funny for a couple hours. No harm done.
Stupid cat.
One of the latest Mac ads is absolutely brilliant, and hysterical. It’s poking fun at Windows Vista, but if you’ve used Windows XP for any amount of time, it will still sound familiar.
This was by far the funniest ad of the night:
Okay, if this isn’t the ultimate in geekery, I don’t know what is. The other day I bought a network webcam for like forty bucks on Woot. I figured, what the heck. But what to do with this new gadget?
The obvious (at least to me) answer was…the MurrayCam. Now I, or anyone else, can look in on Murray during daylight hours and see what she’s up to (or not up to, as is usually the case).
As usual, Brenda hates this new piece of gadgetry and will most likely cover it up any time she enters the sun room. Let’s all help her feel okay about this 
Minor bugs aside, I’ll try to keep the cam running and see where this goes.
