The First E-mail

The first e-mail was sent in 1971 by Ray Tomlinson to himself and *most likely consisted of: "QWERTYUIOP".

*Tomlinson says he's forgotten the exact text, but that was the most likely.

I'm Well-Rounded

In more ways than one.


You Are Smart

When it comes to book smarts versus street smarts, you've got them both, baby! You are well-rounded.

You can geek out and study up like no one's business. But you also know when it's time to just dive in and start learning.

It's likely that you started out as either a book smart or street smart type and learned the other to help get by in the world.


You wear many hats, and you take a flexible approach to life. Very few people know what you are capable of.

Another One Bites The Dust- Queen

Dedicated to the biggest Queen fan I know: "Mrs. Garazon".


grimalkin


grimalkin gri·mal·kin [gri-mal-kin, -mawl-] noun

1. a cat.
2. an old female cat.
3. an ill-tempered old woman.


I wasn't familiar with this word which surprised me because I love cats.  I'm not familiar with old female cats, either, because while I've had female cats hang around - and have a litter or two - they disappear after a while.  I always hope they found good homes. 

I AM familiar with ill-tempered old women, although I'd have to say ill-tempered old men are worse.

I should know.

Cat Cafe Cam


From the site:

Purina ONE is launching the first ever North American Cat Café in New York City, creating an environment of wellness where visitors learn about the 28 Day Challenge, share their experiences, interact with experts and connect with adoptable cats and other cat lovers. Learn more at www.PurinaONE.com/CatCafe and join the conversation with #CatCafe.

Just discovered this and am not sure if it's going to be a permanent thing because the cam isn't fixed and was going from cat-to-cat and often getting blocked by people in the way. (not sure about you, but I don't care a thing about a "back of people's head webcam")   From the looks of some folks on the street looking through the window, you'd think they never saw a cat before. 

Hey Mami - Josh Turner

Featuring Sam Helferich

Not my favorite video from young Mr. Turner, but one of the most interesting, using a phone app for overdubbing.
