If I'm not prosecuted, it's legal, right?

If you don't get punished, you didn't go anything wrong, right?  That's the message Vice President Dick Cheney gave in an interview with CBS' Bob Schieffer on Sunday, suggesting that a president's actions are legal if those actions didn't result in his impeachment. [read the rest of the article]

So by that token, I can go all stabby now, and as long as I don't get caught, it's all good, right?

Cats as NFAs

Here's what I sent out this morning via twitter:

If a human kid, those actions would mean "I had a bad dream, plz cuddle me." But Tenzing is a 9yr-old CAT. Translations, twitterkin?

The response from John was worth quoting:

Tenz as an NFA:  N>E;N>M;N>S;N>P;M>S;M>E;M>P;E>P;E>S;E>N;E>M;P>M;P>N;
P>S;P>E;S>N;S>P;S>M;S>E;E>Po;Po>N;Po>S;Po>M;N>Po

where N is napping, E is eating, S is scritchies, M is meowing, P is playing with Edmund, and Po is pooping.

Can one be speechless and laughing at the same time?

While joking around with friends on New Year's Eve, a couple of people noted they had NO familiarity whatsoever with most of the artists whose music I loved in 2008.  It occurs to me that, as a webgeek, I have the technology to fix this problem.

Here's how to get a taste of the music I loved in 2008.  Make sure you're logged in to domesticat.net -- hey, openID works, you don't even need a special login for cat.net -- and on this page and the front page, check the sidebar for a link.  I don't want to post the link publicly for search crawlers to find, and right now I don't have audio modules set up on cat.net.

I'm taking a cue from Geof and Brad, and posting a list of my 2008 music in review. ObNote, of course, is that my account on last.fm made it incredibly easy to compile this list. This December marks four years of tracking my listening habits through their software, and it's been a fascinating exercise.

My last.fm profile: last.fm/user/domesticat

First, the broadest strokes of all: the artists, which I suspect will correspond closely with the albums:

Last chance photo saloon

For those of you who weren't aware, my friend Noah is closing up his online photography print shop on January 1. If you want a print of his work, hop over to noahgrey.com/photography to nab one.

Some of you might even remember that I was in his 2003 gallery. Look closely and you'll see two photos of me available on that page.

My entries from my trip out to visit him are here. My favorite is one he shot that he's never made available for sale:

Bourdain names names, film at 11

Anthony Bourdain rails against the current crop of TV chefs and names names:

We KNOW she can't cook. She shrewdly tells us so. So...what is she selling us? Really? She's selling us satisfaction, the smug reassurance that mediocrity is quite enough. She's a friendly, familiar face who appears regularly on our screens to tell us that "Even your dumb, lazy ass can cook this!" Wallowing in your own crapulence on your Cheeto-littered couch you watch her and think, "Hell…I could do that. I ain't gonna…but I could--if I wanted! Now where's my damn jug a Diet Pepsi?"
