Better Strangers

My orange tabby, Ella, and her too-small basket.

I want this poster for SPX (Small Press Expo happening this weekend) so badly…

So good, especially Whitman.

Quotable Arts by Evan Robertson / Obvious State

High quality giclée prints available at etsy. Distilling literary quotes from a handful of the masters down to a single graphic representation, Evan captures the raw concept of the sentence and makes it damn purty to look at as well.

Indigo Bunting (by Hard-Rain)

I might need to hang this amazing comic with a Neil Gaiman quote on my wall:

This makes me happy. Especially the CEO.

OK, this might be the cutest otter ever.

Baby otter squeaks when introduced to water! Footage from the feature film Otter 501:

Meet the playful heroine of the feature film Otter 501! She was rescued on the central coast of California after being separated from her mother, and with a little help from the Monterey Bay Aquarium she’ll hopefully become a wild otter again.

How a Group of Spam-Fighting Kittens Are Saving the Web

Even spammers probably don’t much care for spam.  Unsolicited advertising is the bane of the Internet; humans have been fighting it in our email, on our message boards, even in our instant messaging chats for decades.  And in our never-ending struggle to fight against the rising tide of spam, we’ve unleashed another of the Internet’s most hated creatures: CAPTCHAs. You know, those annoying squiggly words that some web sites force you to decipher to prove you’re not a robot. We hate those almost as much as the spam.

But in an attempt to rid the world of both spam and CAPTCHAs, a new force has arisen: cats.  Calling themselves the “Catchas,” this elite squadron of spam-fighting kitties has taken to the web in an effort to thwart spam bots and save us from the evils of distorted text.  The concept is simple, in place of a CAPTCHA, web sites can now deploy the Catcha kitten force.  Users will no longer be asked to decipher unreadable blocks of letters, instead they’ll be shown a series of images and asked a simple question, “Which one is the cat?”

Doesn’t that sound better?
