One of the underappreciated features of this particular style of cat bed is the way it converts to a WW-I era pillbox-style bunker when flipped over.

Holidarity!
Very nice office lunch today, our at Zingerman’s Roadhouse. I don’t know if I mentioned the place before, and I’m lazy enough right now to not search my own archives to check. I had a very good fish and chips, although they called it “Bell’s Beer Battered Cod and Roadhouse Fries”. It was extremely tasty. I’m not sure it was $14 worth of tasty, but it was darn close.

Hey! It’s a tree!
The goofy guy over at EyezMaze has done up a Christmas tree GROW! puzzle. It’s tiny compared to his other ones, but still a load of fun.

It was called Star Control II back then, but now it’s been open-source released as The Ur-Quan Masters. Anyway, one of the most memorable things about the game was the soundtrack. It turns out that the folks who composed the music for the game have a site of their own where they’ve posted some remixes and updates to their old tunes.

The laptop is back from repair! It’s got a shiny new screen assembly and a brand new battery. Turns out those were the only things that were a problem. Now I get to see how well I can reintegrate the data from the two desktop machines I’ve been using.

It’s a Very Lovecraftian Christmas, from Fafblog (the world’s only source of Fafblog!):
Sure there’s a Santa Claus, Little Jimmy! He’s as real as you an me, and he watches all the good little boys and girls every day with his thousands of horrible insect eyes.
