Pimp My Horse! 7

All, Dogs Cats and Other Pets, Lighter side of life • Tags: , , , ,

Freddie W is a special effects artist and I follow his YouTube channel. Some videos are awesome! Others are so-so. This one is not one of his norms since his special effects are more along the lines of gaming, such as explosions and the like.

But this is too funny not to share. Make sure to watch it to the surprise “bass” ending…. Now excuse me while I go roll on the floor laughing some more. And just a heads-up here… this is one of those “so stupid it’s funny” videos. Do not expect award winning anything here. Just chill and go with the flow.

Meet Anakin. The Miracle Kitten with No Back Legs nor Pelvis 15

All, Dogs Cats and Other Pets • Tags: , , , ,

Anakin is a miracle cat who was born without any back legs or pelvis, and has recently been adopted by Carrie Hawks who happens to be a Fantasy Cat Artist. On Anakin’s Facebook page, Carrie describes how a kitten without back legs started coming over to eat with the other feral cats at her dad’s place of work. Her first few attempts at trying to catch the young kitten didn’t work, but finally on May 31st, Carrie succeeded. She brought the kitten home and as soon as her veterinarian’s office opened the next morning, she took the kitty in. The vet said she has never seen anything like him before and he is utterly amazing! It is also very odd that his mother took care of him even with his handicap as mother’s of most species usually ignore an ill or deformed infant purely as a survival instinct.

My Chance Encounter with 9/11 Survivor Michael Hingson and his Guide Dog 22

9/11, All, Dogs Cats and Other Pets, Hodge Podge, She speaks... • Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

Last September, 2011, I came across an article about Roselle, which was Michael Hingson’s guide dog at the time he was on floor 78 in Tower One of the World Trade Center when tragedy struck on that fateful day of 9/11/2001, and posted the following: “Roselle, the guide dog who saved her blind master in Tower One on 9/11“. Roselle had passed just a few short months prior to my posting of that article last September. Naturally, being the dog-lover that I am, his experience and the incredible bravery and duty Roselle gave was, and still is, very heart-warming and touching to me – which is why I posted about Roselle.

Having Problems with Flash Videos Working in Mozilla Firefox? 15

All, Science & Technology • Tags: , , , , ,

Recently, Adobe Flash Player updated to a new Flash Player 11 version… and Firefox Ver. 13.0.1 just did not seem to like it. I read through a lot of forums which was a lot of opinions of “why this” and “they don’t like that”… basically, internet politics and propriety bullshit.

I just want the damn flash videos to be able to play in Firefox (i.e. YouTube and other flash-formatted videos). I do use Chrome, but I’m a two-browser person, so I use Chrome for some of my internet sites and functions, and I use Firefox for others. Motley News and Photos is a Firefox function as are all the blogs I subscribe to. And the ONLY time I use IE is at work because our reservation system was built by some idiot developers who created it to only work in the back end (admin) in Internet Explorer. Sorry Mac and Linux users, this company (cough cough SignUp4) decided to develop proprietary only.

Heat Wave Melts Metal Newspaper Stand 5

All, Lighter side of life, News: US • Tags: , , , , ,

With the heat wave soaring into the three-digits across the country, this is no laughing matter. Power grids are pushed to their limit; many people live without any cooling system; and violent storms with 80-mph gusts toppled trees, cut power lines and killed six people in Virginia alone – also leaving millions of people without power to cool their homes.

Although the extreme heat in and of itself is nothing to scoff at, sometimes humor is all we have to make it through these historic temperatures. Showpaper magazine is a New York-based free bi-weekly print-only publication, which lists and promotes every all-ages & DIY show in the NYC / Tri-state area. They recently installed a melting newsstand in front of the bookstore Printed Matter as the summer heat begins to crank up.
