A special Monday message from Prime Minister Thatcher

Thatcher posed for this Victorianesque portrait a couple of weeks ago when she first suspected we might be in for some economic turmoil. Her hope is that her steely composure will help you remain calm and resolute in the days ahead.

Thatcher featured in today’s Mahalo Daily

Prime Minister Thatcher is featured in today’s Mahalo Daily, where she gets interviewed by a pet psychic and meets a dog handler:

And just in case the YouTube video isn’t playing, here it is on Blip.TV:
I don’t know what that dog psychic is talking about in the video. With all that panting, Thatcher is clearly saying, [...]

Video of my Ubuntu Asus Eee PC, 2 parrots, and a pug…

Here’s some video of my Asus Eee PC that I shot yesterday:

You can see the Eee next to my large orcish hands to give you an idea of how incredibly small it is. Also, I rather clumsily toggle through the screens to show you the cool cube effects that Ubuntu can support on the Eee. [...]

Pug in a Cage

So, we bought a parrot cage on eBay last week for about $24 and a little over $100 to ship (and btw the Buy It Now listing didn’t note the exorbitant shipping cost, so it was a little bit of a bait and switcheroo), so that we can finally bring the rest of our family, [...]

I do not condone the actions of Kristin in creating these two pictures, but I find myself having to blog about it so that my parents can see:

How to Fly With Pets - Mahalo

Nicole put together another great how to: How to Fly With Pets - Mahalo

This one’s great. I wish I’d had it when we first took Thatcher cross country. It would have saved me some time digging around online and on the phone. With our upcoming move to LA, it’s already saved me the time of [...]

Christopher Finke is a funny guy…

Finke (used to work with me at Netscape; he’s still there) took a very humorous approach to his entry into the Mahalo iPhone contest: Prime Minister Thatcher - Mahalo.

Father’s Day in the sun

Yesterday, Kristin and I went out to Long Island to celebrate Father’s Day with Curt and the entire family. We had a good time. Went swimming in the pool for the first time this summer, and Thatcher went swimming for the first time in her life. She was a natural. We held her over the [...]

Our little deformed puppy (or, how I lost $349 dollars today)…

Kristin took Thatcher to the vet this morning, because we noticed that she’s been avoiding putting weight on her back left leg (and sort of bunny-hopping when she runs). The vet felt around and thought that she might have a torn ACL in her left knee. They took an x-ray. The vet put an x-ray [...]

Pug in the Sun

Beautiful day in New York today. We took the pug out for an extended walk and got her going at a nice run. She seemed to have a blast, but now she’s knocked out asleep from the day’s over-stimulation.

UPDATE: One more:

Thatcher is growing!

I noticed today how Thatcher grew a little bit taller and thicker than she was before I left on this last trip.
