Limping Dog

I have no need for an alarm clock because Comang always wakes me up at around 7:30am to take him on his morning walk. This morning, however, he didn't come get me until well past 8:30am. 'That's strange,' I thought, but I figured he hadn't slept well and just brushed it off. The second sign that something might be wrong was that he wasn't his energetic self. He usually runs ahead of me to the elevator and jumps as I bend down to attach his leash, ecstatic at the thought of going on a walk. But this morning, he trailed behind me and didn't seem excited at all. Again, I thought that he was just having an off day (doesn't everyone?) and didn't think...

Link Dump

Today is a typical day after a holiday weekend in that there were TONS of goodies to be read and discovered on my Google Reader. Instead of creating a separate post for each one of them, I've decided to do a monster round-up post of my favorite reads of the day. Some of these are a bit old (and by that, I mean about 12 hours old) but still deserving of mention. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!   How the Nursing Home for Superheroes Would Look LikeA funny but indefinitely sad sculpture of the lives of aged superheroes.   25 Blockbuster Movies Posters Recreated Using LegoA must-see for any Lego fans! My favorite? "The GodVader," of course.   Stoudemire has agreement with...

“Sent From My…” Email Signatures

I was reading Lifehacker's The Worst Email Habits and Annoyances You Should Avoid (or At Least Be Aware Of) and was surprised to read that email signatures containing "Sent from my iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/mobile" made the top of the list. I honestly don't mind these signature lines, as almost all of my iPhone-toting friends still use the default "Sent from my iPhone" email signature that comes standard on the device. If anything, I like seeing how my friends and acquaintances keep in (electronic) touch. As a matter of fact, I have set the default email signature on my own phone to say the following: -Jenny Sent from my Moto Droid(Powered by Evil Ninja Monkeys) Most of my friends are aware of my obsession with evil ninja monkeys (see the...

Canon’s Wonder Camera Concept Leaves Me Nostalgic

Yesterday, Canon revealed the Wonder Camera concept at the World Expo 2010. Canon is confident that by the year 2030, technology will have advanced enough that the need for different lenses will become obsolete. The Wonder Camera would be equipped with a single lens that is capable of shooting macro to 500mm. The non-interchangeable lens will be accompanied by an all-touch interface, an extremely high-resolution sensor, and image stabilization so advanced as to make shooting at that unspeakably high zoom range a viable option. The best part? The Wonder Camera does not take pictures. Instead, it's a video-only device that shoots extremely high resolution — so high, in fact, that if you fail to take advantage of the integrated mega-zoom, mega-stabilized, perpetual-focus...
