Busy Day, Here’s a Cat in a Box

I’m short on time today, so (perhaps in a nod to Gill’s feline Friday posts), here’s a Japanese cat in a box:

You may recognize this cat from such YouTube favourites as 特訓するねこ。 and 滑り込むねこ。.

Meeting Got Canceled

August 17th, 2007, 9 Comments »

Huzzah! Apologies for the ridiculously light blogging this week, but my Google Calendar has been blue with meetings day and night. I need a holiday from my trip home.

In any case, my first meeting of the day got cancelled and I’m borrowing some wifi from my client’s office to write this.

I’ve had a couple of Vancouver photos floating around from my crappy camera phone that I’ve been meaning to post:

Creative Parking

Is this legal? I sometimes see motorcycles doing this, so it is kosher for a Smart Car? I’ve written before about the inferiority of parking meters, and this is a great approach to fitting more cars onto a street, but is it above-board?

Slurpuccino

This is brand extension gone horribly wrong. The ‘grown up Slurpee’? I guess it doesn’t cost 7-11 very much to try this out, but who possibly wants this beverage from 7-11?

Now that I think about it, there seem to be two or three ‘anchor’ flavours of Slurpee–Coke, orange–and the rest are in an endlessly expanding rotation. How long before we have Potteresque Everything Slurpees?
