Can you give a good home to a nice cat?

“Boots” was adopted today by a someone who has a pet rabbit, too. I’m sure they’ll get along fine.

The things J9 does to that poor cat….

Even though the popularity of LOL cats, a.k.a. cat macro, may have peaked months ago, a visitor to the office today showed us ICanHasCheezburger.com, where I “created” these:

no tease teh kitteh!

Since we have our own kitty, J9 and I made our own LOL CAT (also known as a CAT MACRO for some reason).





I see these guys downtown at Thursday at the Square and at other big downtown events, and I think their approach is all wrong. The yellow sign on the left says “ASK ME WHY YOU DESERVE TO GO TO HELL”. The sign on the right says something about how Jesus died for various sins.

You never see anyone go up to the “ask me” guy and actually ask him why they deserve to go to hell. Usually people just go up to him and shout him down. I can’t imagine some lost soul coming up to him and actually talking about faith and religion. Apparently the street preachers’ goal is to make people feel bad. Maybe deep down the preachers are hoping that they can make the sinners on the street feel bad enough that they’ll go to some church somewhere and … learn … something about Jesus? Maybe?

As a person who has faith and counts himself as a Christian, I think I have to say publicly that these street preachers don’t represent all Christians. Many of us are actully trying to be … kind. Trying to show grace toward others. We don’t all sit in a judgemental position, condemning others and making ourselves feel more righteous.

God bless those street preachers. May God smack them in the head and the heart with some grace and love.

(The caption I typed on the picture is a reference to the interwebs phenomenon “lol cats” and is meant not to mock the preachers, but to use humor to make a point. Click here to see a bunch of funny lolcats pictures.)

  • back to commuting - back to being screamed at by ignorant motorists
    For the past year, I didn't live far enough from work to bother bicycling (I was walking to work), but I recently started a new job, so yesterday was my first bicycle ride to work and back. It felt great! It was also nice that the snow had melted so that there was room for me on the side of the road. But on my way home, an ignorant motorist shouted out […]

  • I can't wait to try out Google's maps for BICYCLE routes!
    I've been waiting for this for a long time. At one point, I started working on a program that would use Google's map tools to create bicycle routes, but the programming was a little over my head. Google Maps Finally Adds Bike Routes (click here for complete article on Wired.com) At long last, Google Maps has routes specifically for bikes. read more […]

  • New Orleans bike taxis could get City Council OK
    I'm going to write a note to these people to ask for a copy of the draft legislation mentioned in the article. I hope the legislation passes, because it will help keep bike taxis (AKA pedicabs) on the street in other cities. Who knows, it could even encourage people to PUT bike taxis on their streets. New Orleans pedicabs could get City Council OK By Br […]

  • First Impressions Count
    The first impression your business makes on a web site is important. This probably comes as no surprise to you, because it sounds like common sense. But some Canadian researchers have quantified the theory in a study published in January 2006.
