I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yeah, my mind is more or less blown.
Imagine something like Google Street View, but it can be manipulated and hyperlinked to something else, using all the public Flickr photos on that database.
It's just... it's like the world of Second Life, but it's our world.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

2 weeks? Dude. Already?
Yep - he'll be exactly 2 weeks old tomorrow.
It's kind of unbelievable how much it feels like he just got here and has also been here forever. Looking at the pictures we took in the hospital, it's amazing how much more like a person he already looks.
