Pickles, almost 8.
He’s a good lookin’ dude. Hard to believe this was four years ago and that, next month, he’ll be 8.

Pickles drinking from the sink
This is all Eliza’s fault. She has created a monster. But a cute monster.

Pickles watching birds
Eliza trapped him in the office due to bad behaviour. He made the best of it by watching birds out the window.

My cat Pickles, today
Pickles just chillin’ Before I get questions about his nails, we use soft nails on both of our cats and I personally can not recommend them enough. The cats are not subjected to the pain of removing part of their bodies (which is obviously less traumatic to the cats at an early age) and your…

What I saw somewhat recently #87: October 8, 2021
Southern BBQ Almost a month since my last list. I’ve been busy. The photo above is a homemade southern BBQ I made last weekend. Smoked brisket, collards, Mac and cheese, cornbread, pickles and onions. All made by Eliza and I. Now, onto the links: I have a backlog the length of a DNA strand. I’ll…

Canning links from Marisa McClellan
Marisa is excited: Oh friends. Canning season is on so hard right now. I have 25 pounds of apricots spread out on baking sheets on my living room floor, and I have four pounds of super ripe peaches on my kitchen counter. There are dilly beans fermenting on the dining room table, and I put…

What is your string?
My cat Pickles goes crazy when he sees string. Whether it be the pull-string for our window shades, a loose string from a piece of clothing – just about any string he’ll go bonkers for. So much so, in fact, that he’ll nearly injure himself and others to get the string. Nothing else matters in…

The seedlings need a do-over
This is how I found my seedlings this morning. I’m fairly certain they will not recover so I lost about two weeks of growth. The culprit? My cat Pickles. The blame? Me. I put these little guys in a position that he could easily access and I knew that he would eat them if he…

Tags, the way Apple should have done it
I’m a little late to the game in mentioning this application – as it has made its rounds around the Mac-Web a while back – but I’d be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to link to it and let you know my thoughts. Right? I’m a tagging freak. I believe tags are the…

Figuring out the proper dimensions to embed the Viddler player using JavaScript or PHP
Pickles helps out. Circa January 2007. Viddler’s player is, in my incredibly biased opinion, the best Flash video player available. Especially if you’re of the sort that likes to engage in conversation or put an incredible amount of metadata in your videos. Using Viddler’s API for various projects has always resulted in some sort of…

All photos now available for iPhone
Something I’ve wanted to do since launching the Photos section of my site was to offer each of them as backgrounds for iPhone. I’m happy to say that I’ve finally gotten around to doing just that. You’ll notice in the upper right hand corner of each photo’s page is a small icon of an iPhone.…

A dead field mouse
If you were to go to Amazon.com, or any other service that allows you to create a wish list, and created a wish list – I doubt that a dead field mouse would be in your selections. Apparently my cat thought that a dead field mouse was a perfect gift for me, which is exactly…

Gettin’ waxed
No, not my bikini area – our floors. In preparation for getting our floors waxed we had to move everything, thoroughly sweep and mop the floors, and put the cats in the office. Pickles inspecting the floor After the cats approved of our floors, we put them away. Now I’m just waiting to do one…

Soft nails
For the last few years we have been dealing with ‘life with two cats in an apartment’. There are many drawbacks, and benefits, to having cats (as I’m sure many of you cat lovers out there know). We had been wanting to get new couches for quite awhile, and have been unable since we feared…
