My crafty friend Niki brought me this a few days ago, in celebration of Halloween, and the New York Times article; the little kitten purrs when squeezed. Gifts like this help make one real.
Lots happening in the blogosphere:
The IT Kitchen and the Weblogpedia continues with new new topics: how has weblogging influenced politics; how has politics influenced weblogging; and should webloggers be accountable for what they write. NehaBawa is writing about Social Blogging, including this intriguing idea: "the blog-as-genre is a contemporary contribution to the art of the self." And grow-a-brain has a blogging post up, with a link to The Hierarchy of Blogging: Who looks down on whom? — which puts cat bloggers at the bottom of every ranking. Heh.
Exclamation Mark has luckily not stopped blogging after all, and has some interesting posts on Halloween and All-Saints Day.
Am I really going to do this?
Not likely . . . but we’ll see.
From Kat’s Paws, here is an alternative for those who want to create, but not necessarily novelistically.
And finally, I’ve put a Political Humor Poll on the sidebar. What we know so far is that readers of this blog don’t take polls.
Oops, one more thing.
Someone, in a comment or an email (that I can’t find) asked where I get my cat graphics. Usually, the graphic will be linked to the source (like this one is.) I have a few that I picked up before I learned the rules; I try to find the source again if I can, but otherwise I use them and hope I’m ok. My most common source is Cat Stuff Graphics, linked with a button on the sidebar under Tools; I also use MillanNet (also linked on the sidebar) and have recently discovered ARG!.
I need to get more organized about this; I’m thinking of folders, by source, so that when I upload an image it goes to that folder and I don’t forget where it came from. One more thing — I now always ask before I copy an unattributed image from a webpage.
How do the rest of you do this?
