Reasons of the not-posting

I got an new job in the beginning of the year. Its an awesome job.
Wicked web 2.0 and fast paced. Not to mentioned way more focused and
on task than student affairs.

It is because of their awesomeness that I havent been blogging for
myself. I've been blogging for them. I built a fancy schmancy advanced
template typepad blog in a week. Made the log in on Monday and go-live
was Friday. Amazing!

So I've been disinterested in logging into typepad or composing an
email for this blog. I found out via Lifehacker that you can post to
your blog from Google docs, I made a tiny entry just because its cool.
But other than that what substance have I contributed to the
blogosphere lately?

I've also been debating with myself about this blog and if I really
what to have it anymore. I don't talk about poop and farts like MKD. I
don't get monster traffic. And frankly, I think I'm boring.

One option that I'm considering is to totally archive this blog and
start fresh with either an art blog and a code blog. Would writing
about art stuff actually get me to make art? I dunno. The code one
would be easier cuz I'm made some really cool CSS hacks that are
entirely my own. But could I sustain it?

Needless to say I'm uncertain. Have I lost all of my written wit? Am I
really as boring as I think I am? Does twitter and facebook totally
wipe clean the idea that is/was my blog?

Is this the dawn of web 3.0? Where technological networking explodes
into a cluster fuck of options? Only time will tell.

Publishing to your Blog

using the amazing Google Docs!

indeed!

No Kill Shelters - WTF*

For the past two months or so I'd been calling shelters in the DFW area to try and find a new home for my mom's cats. 

Here's how one conversation went:

Me: "Hi, I'm trying to get an appointment to surrender 4 cats.
Shelter: "I'm sorry we don't have any openings"
"When do you think you'll have any openings?"
"I can't answer that question. It all depends on our adoptions from the previous day"
"Well do you advertise your adoptions well? Do you have a monthly adoption campaign push?"
"We can only tell if there are openings for the day"
"Haven't any cats been adopted in the past two months?"
"I don't know. We just took in 200 cats two weeks ago from a rescue. and don't have anymore room"
"Why did you take in 200 cats if you can't get a high enough adoption turnover to merit such an influx"
"Sir, I don't understand what you're saying. We don't have any openings today. You can call at 9am tomorrow."
"When was the last time you even had an opening to surrender cats?"
"I don't understand what you're asking. We don't have any openings today. You can call at 9am tomorrow."
"Bitch" -click-

I just don't understand it.  How can you continue to say that you accept rescues everyday?

I called every cat organization listed on petfinder.com in the DFW area. Everyone is full. Not even one spot.  Yesterday, the SLF talked to a volunteer with the rescue shelter that we got Lola from.  She said they have a whole new set up for adoption every month, if not every two weeks.

*Please don't think that by the title of this post I am advocating kill-shelters, cuz I'm not. But damn, if you run one, run it right.

I love VD!

Marketing genius! Mating season! This is exactly what I get for working with wildlife/conservation people now.

• Adopt a Fuzzy (NOT a furry)
• Celebrate The Day of Love with Mating Call Ringtones
• Send a Mating Season eCard
• Or how about a jazzy video of animals doin' it...

Super Tuesday Cynicism

A blast from the past...

11/21/2003: Hillary Clinton

I will admit, at the time I was not completely enthralled with the Clinton Administration.  But in light of this current administration, I would take it back in a second. This does make me feel guilty for saying things like:

• *Hillary in 2008*: What if she menstruates all over some important legislation?
• *Hillary in 2008*: No, no--you don't understand: The 19th Amendment gives women the right to vote for a president, that's all

And to think in 2004, I had a "Hillary in 2008" pin. I wonder where it went?  Don't take this as a "Hat will vote for Hillary, wtf?" Cuz it's not. Edwards is out. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Paul doesn't have a chance in hell. Sure youth vote, blah blah blah.

I can't help that I'm a cynic. I think Natalie Dee

said it best: I gonna vote for McCain cause he's a white dude.

United Field Goal of America

My loose theory behind the Super Bowl is ruined.

George W + War in Iraq + Blind-Faith Patriotism Initiative = Patriots win the Super Bowl

Damn.
