Best Baby Animal Website EVER.

Zooborns is hands-down the best baby animal website in the entire world.  I love that you can view entries and photos by species.  My only recommendation: Please add a "place in cart" or "add to order" button. 

Sharon Montrose, I love you.

I am absolutely in love with Sharon Montrose's Animal Print Shop.  Her animal photographs are absolutely beautiful.

Morse Code Necklaces

What a great idea - a Morse Code necklace.  Maybe I'll get one that says my name... or perhaps something a little edgier - "Go f*ck yourself" has a nice ring. 

Translating the Forecast

The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that the Twin Cities is under a winter storm watch for much of the weekend.  A quote from the Strib: The season's first winter storm could drop as much as 12 inches of snow across the Twin Cities area on Saturday, forecasters said Friday. . . The watch area could see 5 to 8 inches of snow, the Weather Service said, with the "axis of heaviest snow" running right through the Twin Cities. Luckily I speak weather forecaster and can translate this:
"first winter storm" = slight chance of slushy garbage
"5 to 8 inches" = no accumulation
"as much as 12 inches" = as little as 0 inches
"axis of heaviest snow" = sort of like the axis of evil
"winter storm watch" = an excuse for people to forget how to drive like little old ladies

Brass Band + Food + Strong Drinks = Happy times

Great Blogs: My Love for You...

My Love for You is a great little art blog.  I dig curator Meighan O'Toole's taste in art and design.  I also enjoy that her first name is spelled with the elusive "ei."

Cats in hats.

Whenever I need a little web-based pick-me-up, I like to revisit the Gothamist's review and (more importantly) slide-show of the Algonquin Hotel's Cat Fashion show.  Nothing is funnier to me than pissed off cats in costume.
