Linkage only post.
Seems a lot of LED (not IED) signs have gone up around the Boston area in remembrance of the 2007 Boston bomb scare (Wikipedia.)
Check it out over at the MAKE: Blog. Does anyone have any ideas for Flickr tags that would be useful to find more photos? There are a few photos over at pt’s photostream.
Found via Blogs Now, this looks like an Ocelot house cat. S/he’s doing various cat thingys, like eating a chicken or playing with a squeeze toy that looks like a grenade. (Update: instead, this is likely a Fishing Cat, from Southeast Asia, as a pet)
It looks like the page is in Russian, so I can’t give you much else. One photo is borderline NSFW. Here’s a thumbnail:
Site is here.
We don’t actually stoop as low as to make lolcats here at Standard Mischief blog, but that’s just because we’re not clever enough to add the white impact font letters with the black border in Gimp.
Prediction: < 24 hours.
Update in less than 24 hours: Probably the same cat, but a different photo than the spread I linked to. On Flickr.
Posted solely because it’s been stuck in my head all weekend.

Using fscking Rust-Oleim no less! The car looks pretty good, and you don’t end up going through a case of rattle-cans. Bonus, you don’t get CMYK-lung from the overspray.
Yea, I have a beater and as soon as I get all of god’s mistakes fixed on the thing, I’m gonna have to try this. It’ll look a lot better than a rattle can primer camo job.
Details here, and no, I don’t think this Corvair is a beater.
Photo stolen from the linked page (but he says that doing so is OK), and I reduced the size/quality via gimp.
The picture on the right shows a few found objects from a seven mile road walk yesterday. It’s clickable, if you want a better look. I saw four wheel-weights, which will end up going into my strategic lead reserve. That’s not really notable because I always seem to find wheel-weights. Of perhaps a bit more interest was the velcro-mount visor CD caddy. Inside I found the traces of six CDs. Three of them were commercially pressed, and all three of them were cracked and useless. There were also three home burned CDs, and every single one of them survived the impact and play fine. Odd.
