345/365 - Happy Second Birthday Leki!

Leki (aka Meow Meow) was 5 weeks old when I got him from a family in Greenville. I nearly got him at 4 weeks, they were so anxious to be rid of all the kittens!

And at 5 weeks Leki was still not fully weaned. He milked all sorts of tassles, wouldn't use the litter pan unless I was present for months. It was adorable but obvious he'd left his mother too young.

Fast forward 2 years and it's time to celebrate the birthday of a kitty who loves to be involved in anything you're doing - at any cost.

Obviously from the picture we put on the obligatory party hat (photo courtesy of Chris). We then put some candles in his birthday food (not sure he was impressed). Once those were removed and we were done singing (yes, we totally sang the cat happy birthday), he came over to check out the food. Finally we chopped it up and he dug in.

After he stopped eating he spent another 10 minutes or so just purring loudly. Loving all of the food and attention.

Sent to you by Chris via Google Reader: It?s easier to teach compliance than initiative via Seth?s Blog by Seth Godin on 2/26/10 Compliance is simple to measure, simple to test for and simple to teach. Punish non-compliance, reward obedience and repeat. Initiative is very difficult to teach to 28 students in a quiet classroom. It?s difficult to brag about in a school board meeting. And it?s a huge pain in the neck to do reliably. Schools like teaching compliance. They?re pretty good at it. To top it off, until recently the customers of a school or training program (the companies that hire w [/end quote]

While Sprint may have been ready for webOS 1.4 since the 15th, actual roll-out of the OS hasn?t happened yet. That?s not too surprising - we?ve seen internal dates from Sprint slip in the past. But Palm promised a February release and time is quickly running out. A Verizon tipster has let us know that the ?hard date? for the rollout is going to be February 25th. As in updates past, the update will roll out to around 100,000 devices at a time. However, as in updat [/end quote]

Re-designing a website can be a hassle if you have a large and messy CSS file. CSSColorEditor makes it easy for you by allowing you to change CSS colors without writing any lines of code. Simply upload a CSS file from your computer and load it into the tool. The editor will than list all the colors present in your file and let you replace them easily by either choosing a new color from the color wizard or by entering the hex code for the new color.

Well, it just wouldn?t be MWC without a few Bluetooth headsets to go along with the new phones now, would it? Thankfully, Jabra has come through with its new Clipper headset which, like Jabra?s BT3030, packs a standard 3.5mm jack to let you pair it with your own headphones (although Jabra also supplies a pair of its own noise-canceling buds). Otherwise, you?ll get some full, discreetly hidden controls on the clip itself, and a promised [/end quote]

Another big day at Toy Fair ? Mattel held its Collector Preview Night and showed of the latest across its collector-oriented brands. I?m going to bite off a big chunk of that now with DC Universe Classics. There was a lot of DC product on hand, not even counting DC Infinite Heroes, Retro Super Heroes, Justice League Unlimited, and the Brave and the Bold, which will get their own update separately. For DC Universe Classics, we saw the 2-pa [/end quote]

Jim Fletcher was kind enough to give us a tour of the DC Direct showroom today. For this update, I?ll focus on the action figure products, or what I think of as Blackest Night and ?everything else.? I?ll be sure to post pictures of the other products, mostly statues and busts, within the next few days. Blackest Night In case you?ve been living under a rock, Blackest Night is the hottest co [/end quote]

Convergence has always been a big theme in tech, and its focus at MWC this year seems to have landed firmly on procuring an application platform that is OS-agnostic. Earlier today, we heard of the big carrier cabal intent on slaying the beast that is multi-platform development through cooperation, but if you ask Adobe the answer is much simpler: just slap AIR on your phone.

She?s aptly called Rescue, and she?s getting a one-shot in May courtesy of writer Kelly Sue DeConnick. The comic will tie into Marvel?s Siege event, as the charact [/end quote]

:::Well this sounds pretty terrible::: Sent to you by Chris via Google Reader: Captain America To Wield Shield, Microphone In New Movie [Captain America] via io9 by Graeme McMillan on 2/7/10 Wondering how the upcoming Captain America movie will fulfill its own hype about being unlike any other Marvel movie to date? It?ll be by having its titular hero singing and dancing. And, no, we?re not joking. Director Joe Johnston told the LA Times?

Left: ?Captain America; Right: ?Gossip? I really dig these abstracted superhero paintings by Bob Kessel. Apparently they?re part of a new exhibit of his work entitled ?Pop Unintentional.? The good news is some are available as prints, in case that Lilli Carre piece I mentioned earlier doesn?t do it for you.

Sent to you by Chris via Google Reader: The relentless search for ?tell me what to do? via Seth?s Blog by Seth Godin on 2/6/10 If you?ve ever hired or managed or taught, you know the feeling. People are just begging to be told what to do. There are a lot of reasons for this, but I think the biggest one is: ?If you tell me what to do, the responsibility for the outcome is yours, not mine. I?m safe.? When asked, resist. Things you can do from here: - Subscribe to Seth?s Blog using Google Reader - Get started using Google Reader to easily keep up with all your favorite sites

From The New York Times: After Escaping Jobless Rolls, Trauma May Linger By MICHAEL LUO Despite returning to work, many grapple with newfound insecurities, reshaped priorities and broken relationships. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/06/us/06return.html

It can?t run Flash. It can?t run Photoshop. It?s basically a big iTouch. But it could be the biggest change in comic books. So now that people have had a little time to let it sink in, what?s the judgement?

Oh you thought you?d had enough iPadness had you? No such luck my fellow men. Here?s a runaround from Jim Shelley of some of the people who were talking up the possibilities the other week?
