Cat Linkage

Friday Ark #192i s here at, as always, The Modulator.

Carnival of the Cats #219 is here at The M-Cats' Club.

My new favorite internet-based time sink: a game called Stack the Cats, found via The Infinite Cat Project.  Addictive!

 

Recuperation

I've been about as active as Mei Xiang on Panda Cam, mentioned in my last post.  Mei Xiang has been rolling around in her habitat for the last few days, cuddling her panda cub, and not doing much else besides sleeping, getting her fluids and the occasional eats.  Except for the bit about the panda cub, I've been pretty much doing the same thing after coming down with a cold for a few days.  I sure would like to see the cub; I thought I got a glimpse of it the other day, but can't be sure.  Here's a picture of what the little bugger probably looks like right about now.

I have been on the PC a bit during my downtime this weekend.  I just finished a few NYT Monday crossword puzzles, thanks to a little help from Google (especially with all those Kentucky, Belmont and Preakness winners through the years).  If I need help with the Monday puzzles, I can't imagine how long it will take me to finish the Sunday puzzles, if and when I ever get there.

I've also been following my favorite blogs.  unfogged has this interesting post about youth sports and mixing disabled and able-bodied players.  Read the comments for some interesting takes on the topic.

I spent entirely too much time at this site about sideshow people, via Apostropher.

Bummed that, after falling for Steve Pavlina's blog, the newest article is re: bogus claims re: microwave cooking dangers.  Would it kill these people to at least fake a realistic looking scientific footnote or endorsement?

Well, I think I need to get some more rest, so I'm going to make like Mei Xiang and go snooze in my habitat.
