not everyone has perfect vision like me.

i'm sure you'll all be relieved to hear:

That beacon of false hope in the distance — the somewhat complicated, two-part light system atop taxis — has been banned in favor of a single "on" or "off" signal that should be installed by early 2013. Drunk people of the night now have one less reason to get irrationally angry. (via)

what is holmes doing?!

introducing..........neely's kitty, HOLMES!

somtimes he takes naps in his kitty chaise.

and he's a little bit cross-eyed. maybe needs some glasses?

what did you eat this weekend?

after a few hours of ghost-hunting, one works up quite an appetite. luckily, there was a sonic just 10-45 minutes down the road. we got a lot of chicken boxes, etc.

and john got some kitty kat surnglasses in his happy meal. then rachel (rip) and liz found some leftover bonez and monster surnglasses at the table next door. just in time for halloween!

after a romp on a pumpkin snatch, we had (not) worked up an appetite again! luckily, there was a cracker barrel just a hop, skip, and a jump away. lilly worked herself up from "just plain dumb" to "genius" on the tee game.

liz and lilly had never been to a CB before, if you can believe that, and i'll tell you what, they were not disappointed.

apple granted patent on these bad boys.

"Apple's innovation over previous head mounted displays is, in part, to separate the laser engine from the headgear, stowing the engine in a separate unit connected to the frames via fiber optic cable. Such an "iGlasses" setup, as our tipster calls it, would allow a more immersive television, gaming or conferencing experience when using, say, an iPhone. Or you could just walk around pretending to be a commando from the future, with frickin' laser breams attached to your head." (via)

Zurich and London designers Aekae have designed a collection of glasses made of water buffalo horns. Each piece is made of several thin layers of horn, which are laid in alternate directions to increase stability.

And they make great librarians!

Kittehs. We love them. They are small and fluffy and full of love to give. But, sometimes they can get in the way. When you’re reading, when you’re typing on your computer (pling, pling, SPACE, pew, pling)--when you’re trying be productive! It’s as if they are jealous and can't stand anything that steals attention away from them. So they rueeen it. They hog your books and sit on your hands. So selfish! Well, scientists have recently discovered that cats are not, in fact, self-centered, narcissistic, egocentric furry fiends. They are simply misunderstood—AGAIN! They WANT to be READING what you’re reading--they crave knowledge! They can learn! Try setting your cat up as if they were you, bespectacled and leaning over a book. Like so...and see what happens! Who knows, they could be reading a bedtime story to you tonight.
