I posted my brothers' websites but forgot my cousin Vicky's site, J V True Art. Shame on me.

This song is dedicated to /b/.

Always Caturday

In the place that I call home
The cats are everywhere
Today is always Caturday
Furry purry everywhere

Caturday, restful Caturday
And if my kitty sheds
then I'll chase him away

Eyes are glowin' in the dark
On my chest up at 5am
Purr so loud it wakes me up
He wants to be fed again

Caturday, oh stressful Caturday
And if my kitty sheds
then I'll chase him away

Cats are growlin' in the hall
Hissin' clawin' rivalry
Alpha cats jus' can't back down
And they think that I don't see
Lick each other peacefully

Caturday, peaceful Caturday
And if my kitty sheds
then I'll chase him away

A tip if you give speeches: Never start out with a canned joke. Or a joke of any kind, unless you are dead certain you’ve read the room perfectly. A better way to start any speech is with a question. Asking a question does three things, all good. One, it makes the speech about the audience, not the speaker. Two, it helps the speaker get a “read” on the audience. Three, it is a wonderfully calming way to start a speech. It kills the fear that one will stumble out of the gate. That used to be my own biggest speech fear until I learned the trick of starting with a question.

Use a real language, people.

This is weird. If you compare housingmaps.com against Google Maps for downtown Seattle, there's an interesting discrepancy. Qwest Field is shown on housingmaps as Seahawks Stadium. (Click for larger views.) Is Google providing an old version to its API users or something?

Both of these screenshots were taken today at the same time.
