“Social Steganography”
Nothing to add to this, just thought it was very interesting. And, of course, the Monty Python reference (in the original article) is always appreciated. 😉

Various amusing or interesting topics, or things that shock and appall me. Kind of a miscellaneous bin.
Winston, our Mighty Hunter
As mentioned before (in posts such as this one), we share our house with three feline companions. Winston has always been our problem child, usually by his attitude that litter boxes are optional equipment. He’s also the original scaredy-cat, almost always looking around wide-eyed and running away from everything, including us. Last night GoddessJ, who …
“Funny Courtroom Quotations”
On the lighter side… everyone has moments where their mouths run faster than their brains, but these quotes show that some of the funniest happen in a courtroom.
“Earth’s first all Klingon opera debuts”
I really don’t know what to make of this, except to bet that there were far more geeks in the audience than opera fans: Schonfeld said he has invited the people of Klingon to see the show during its three day run in the 100-seat Zeebelt theatre in The Hague or a later run in …

“Unhearit Gets that Song Out of Your Head with a Catchy New One”
Our friend Interrobang calls them “earworms” — those catchy little jingles that get stuck in your head and just won’t come loose no matter what. This site promises to kick it out… by replacing it with another one. Not exactly what you were hoping for, but hey, at least it’s a new tune. 🙂
“Collection of amusing 404 – PAGE NOT FOUND errors”
You don’t need to see his URL. This isn’t the page you’re looking for. Move along. 😉
“Fly steers mobile robot”
What will they think of next? 😉 On a different subject, I picked up a nasty cold somewhere. It struck very suddenly yesterday evening and took me down for the count. I slept in discomfort for nearly twelve hours last night, and I’ll probably go right back to bed after having a bite to eat. …
