Boo Boo is One Month Old

Emily and I drove to Columbus today to meet Boo Boo for the first time. Teresa Signore of Highlander Cattery was kind enough to allow us to visit with him. She has a wonderful cattery and some amazing cats. Teresa has a way with her cats that you would have to see to believe.

Boo Boo is the cutest red Maine Coon kitten that I have ever seen. His color and markings are beautiful! He is still wobbly when he walks but manages to move around enough to have his mother chasing after him.

Only 56 days until Boo Boo gets to come live with us. Not that we are counting :-)

This Should Be A New 'Get A Mac' Ad

If Apple wanted a new 'Get A Mac' ad with punch, this would be it.

According to SpaceRef.com, a virus has found its way onto the laptops used on NASA's Space Station. NASA insists that the virus is not serious. The virus is the W32.Gammima.AG worm. It is most often used to steal sensitive information.

The worm has been found on multiple laptops on the Space Station. When Wired's Threat Level asked NASA if any mission critical systems were connected to the same network as the laptops, NASA spokesperson Kelly Humphries simply said, "I don't know and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you for IT security reasons."

Winnie is Three Weeks Old

It is hard to believe that Winnie is already three weeks old. On the other hand, it seems like it has been forever. His eyes are open and he has not been walking long. In this photo, he just woke up from a nap.

With any luck, he will be able to come to live with us around the first week of November.

Bolt Wins Third Gold Medal

Usain Bolt, the sprinter phenomena from Jamaica won his third gold medal today in the 4x100m relay. Not only did Jamaica win, they set a new world record of 37.30 seconds. This time chopped .30 off the mark the United States had held for 16 years.

Amazing!

New Microsoft Ad Features Jerry Seinfeld

This may be too funny to really be true. Microsoft's answer to the 'Get A Mac' ads that have been wildly popular is a $300 million ad campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld. The ads are going to target Apple.

Ready for the punch line? Every episode of the TV show Seinfeld had a Mac in one location or another.

Bolt Wins 200m in World Record Time

In what can only be described as amazing, Usain Bolt of Jamaica won the 200m at the 2008 Olympic is a world record time of 19.30.

Bolt became the first man since Carl Lewis in 1984 to sweep the 100 and 200 gold medals at an Olympics. Not only that, he set new world records in both event. That has never been done before!

Vista Death Watch?

Is Vista really on a death watch? 35 percent of all PC's delivered with Vista have been downgraded to XP.

How is this possible? A survey by performance testing software developer Devil Mountain Software estimated that more than one in three new machines had either been downgraded by vendors such as Dell, or by customers once they bought the PC…

Microsoft has admitted that Vista was a pretty big mistake. Now, after trying some heavy duty marketing, which pretty much failed, Microsoft has finally conceded it’s high time to move on by explaining how they will engineer Windows 7. They have 1000 programmers working full time on Windows 7. This should be interesting.
