The first two photos (above) are new, and the next two are old. Hmm. I'm not sure I detect a lot of improvement over the last year. I guess there's always next year, unless I get sick of flower photos by then.
And now for something completely different. I haven't done one of these assorted-stuff-from-the-interwebs posts for a while, and there may be a good reason for that. But it escapes me at the moment, so here's a new one. I'm kind of out of practice with these, though, so if it's something less than a broad spectrum of uniformly fascinating items, well... At least it didn't cost you anything, other than those few seconds of your life that you spent here that you'll never get back. Sorry about that.
- Flickr's page full of all public photos tagged 'echidna'. It's like Cute Overload, except really spiny.
- Somewhat less spiny, and more colorful: crocheted echidnas. Kewl.
- And from the real Cute Overload, yet another cute kitten. Awwwwww....
- Meanwhile, the koalas are in trouble.
- The Galapagos Islands are in trouble too, including the tortoises.
- Thatch, Portland's shiny new 60's-retro Tiki bar, is now open for business. The piece doesn't mention it, but I'm told they've got a bunch of doodads salvaged from the late, semi-lamented Jasmine Tree, the place I wrote about a while back.
- Like many of you, I've never seriously considered owning an octopus. If you're still on the fence, here's another reason it might not be a bright idea.
- The Bad Astronomer asks the age-old question: "Do phone psychics know it’s you before you call them?"
- Some mildly funky cloud images from Venus Express.
- Portlanders: Karl Rove is lying about us. Yes, I'm shocked too.
