It's A Beautiful Day

Get off the computer and go  outside and play.

Get Me This Collar!

Hey bitches! I know it's been a while. It's been warm out and I've been spending most of my days trying to escape outside. You know how it is. Its tough being an indoor cat. Anyway... someone step up and get me this collar for my birthday. It's in august! I was gonna rip on lazy and stupid cats that don't know how to blog but damn this would be so much easier for me. I'd have more time to bum around.

Sony Designs Twitter Cat Collar

Sony and the University of Tokyo have developed a device that attaches to cats to allow the cat's activities to be posted as tweets on the Twitter micro-blogging site.

It's called Cat@Log . The scientists say that it is part of a new area of research on “human-pet interaction.”

The so-called 'lifelogging" device is a small camera, GPS and Bluetooth that is attached around the cat's neck.

Researchers say they attempted to determine an optimum design of the devices so they can be attached to a pet without causing it discomfort.

Preprogrammed phrases are triggered in real time based on what the cat is doing. Activities that trigger tweets include eating, running, and sleeping. There are currently 11 phrases but Sony plans to add more phrases.

Researchers claim the device has can recognize other cats' faces taken by the camera embedded in the device.

Sony's Computer Science Lab demonstrated a prototype of the device at Open House 2010. It is a chance for Sony to show retailers products the company plans to launch in the coming months.

What a Yo Yo!

This was brought to my attention today. This is has to be a joke because it's just way too pathetic to be real. Look at this guy! He's just swinging the yo yos around like a goon and then he falls! When he fell I lost it. The he gets all ashamed and wants to quit the yo yo business. haha. Maybe he should wear the blue angel helmet so he doesn't hit himself in the dome. What's with that rap too? Have you seen a weirder dude before? There are other videos of this guy. You gotta check them out... he talks about how his father was never around and how kids aren't raised well these days.... hahahaa

Pedroia Takes You To The Planetarium

Boston.com - David’s fine,’’ Pedroia said. “He’s one of our teammates. It could have been me that hit into a double play. It happens to everybody, man. He’s had 60 at-bats. A couple years ago I had 60 at-bats, I was hitting .170, everyone was ready to kill me too. What happened? Laser show. Relax. I’m tired of looking at the NESN poll: ‘Why is David struggling?’ David’s fine. We believe in him. He came out of it last year, he’s going to come out of it this year. Put that in your poll. I’m going to go online and vote. Papi’s fine. Thanks for playing.’’


You guys thought I was too damn old to jump up on the kitchen counter and climb my arthritic ass into the sink for some water. What happened? Laser show. I drank outta that faucet.

Sports and Politicians

First, state attorney general Martha Coakley and Sen. Scott Brown, now Mayor Thomas M. Menino?
During the unveiling of a new statue depicting Boston Bruins legend Bobby Orr’s “The Goal” on Causeway Street in front of the TD Garden, Menino managed to steal some of the buzz from Orr by first jumbling his words, then mixing in the wrong name for one of Boston’s greatest sports moments.
Menino was talking about great athletic feats in Boston history, and called them “ionic” moments (see the :35 second mark). He hailed Orr’s goal, Doug Flutie’s Hail Mary, John Havlicek’s steal and lastly, Jason Varitek splitting the uprights (see the :44 second mark).
Wait, that last one’s not right.
“In Boston, we have an amazing set of remarkable athletes whose actions have become ionic (sic) in sports,” Menino said. “Havlicek stole the ball, Fisk waiving the ball fair, Flutie launching the Hail Mary pass, Varitek splitting the uprights.”
What Mayor Menino meant to say was kicker Adam Vinatieri’s name. Vinatieri booted the game-winning 48-yard field goal in 2002 to help the New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams in the Super Bowl, 20-17, as time expired.
The estimated crowd of 500 people and assembled spectators grumbled after hearing Varitek’s name.
The gaffe is reminiscent of when Martha Coakley, then campaigning for senator, said Curt Schilling was a New York Yankees fan, and last month when Sen. Brown, when asked about the Bruins and Sabres playoff series in the first round of the NHL playoffs, asked reporters if the Sabres were a Washington team.
The Sabres hail from Buffalo and Schilling helped the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007.
We're awaiting a call back from the mayor's office with his response, if any, to the gaffe.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Politicians should just stay out of sports. Clearly they have no idea what is going on and they only make themselves look like (bigger) fools. I'm a damn cat and I know who Varitek is. Remember John Kerry's Manny Ortez? How about Ted Kennedy's Sammy Sooser and Mike McGwire? Ok... I wasn't alive for that one. but yeah.. I don't even think they should throw out the first pitch. They all throw like a T Rex with the little arms!

Bruins Nation = Hybernation

This is my imitation of The Bruins performance tonight.
