The following video increases my respect for the engineers of Incom Corporation; their work is, as you will see, not so easy to replicate safely.
This morning Trizzle went out as he normally does for a day of doing whatever it is that he does. However, about an hour later I heard him meowing and meowing outside, with great urgency. I went down to the front door and found why he was so eager for my attention--he had caught a small bird and wanted me to admire it. It was about half-eaten and as I stood over him, praising his hunting skills, he proceeded to eat the rest of it, whole (no feathers or even bones were left, oddly. In fact, I'm not even sure that it was a bird--in the brief time I was able to see it before Trizzle started consuming it again, I saw an insectoid wing, so it may have in fact been a giant moth or something; not that I've ever seen a moth in California that big, only in the 'Stryliarian outback. So for all I know Trizzle just consumed an endangered or even nondescript (althogh nowadays people use this word to mean uninteresting or unremarkable in appearance, I'm using it in the Stephen Maturin sense of a species unknown to science) species.
After that he came in and wanted more food and comforting. I picked him up and discovered that he had also somehow contrived to get himself completely soaking wet on the hottest day of the year (so far.)
So yesterday movers and shakers in the web 2.0 world, whom am tangentially related to since I work at the same company as them, were tweeting about "Pownce." So today I check out there site and this is the description:
Pownce is a way to send messages, files, links, and events to your friends. You'll create a network of the people you know and then you can share stuff with all of them, just a few of them, or even just one other person really fast.
So maybe LazyWeb or LazyVox could explain to me why this is interesting? You can send links to your friends, really? Or maybe the movers and shakers were tweeting ironically? That seems like a better guess. Anyway, if Pownce really is cool and actually is a good idea I'd like to hear about it.

My cousins told me about these videos yesterday during our hike at Point Reyes. If you enjoyed the faux-70s instructional videos in "Lost" or the training video in the UK version of "The Office" I think you'll like these.
Perhaps looking to increase their prog-rock credit, southern jam-rockers My Morning Jacket are playing a show with noted indie rockers
symphony the Boston Pops.
Not sure I'm going to fly to Boston to see this, but I'd definitely download the show off of bitorrent.
They've been rather quiet lately, but this Pitchfork article has a good summary of what they've been up to. Biggest news is that the article claims they will have a new album out in September on Matador. They're also releasing an album of the WTF covers they do ever year for the WFMU fund-raiser marathon, called "Yo La Tengo is Murdering the Classics." Speaking of WTF, the article lists some tourdates, including one in Saratoga, CA at something called the "Montalvo Center for the Arts." Never heard of this place... why are YlT palying there? And why? I assume it must be some kind of special gig, like when a few years ago they played along live to a silent movie at the Academy of Arts.
