Happy Birthday Mario!

Here's a big shout out for my friend Mario (on the left). Happy Birthday!

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY SARAH!

Jennifer, Sarah & Andrew

Dan & Laurie

Laurie & Ann

Eric & Kelsey

We had a great Birthday celebration for Sarah on Saturday. Jen, Eric, Courtney, Kelsey, Dan and Laurie came over for the afternoon. It was fun to see everyone. Where did the last 18 years go? Seems like only yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. She will always be our "little princess."

SARAH IS COMING HOME TODAY!

My family went to visit Grandpa Koennicke a couple of weekends ago. It will be great having Sarah home. She will be 18 on Saturday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!

VET

Time to go to the VET. I had my vet appointment today. I only had a rabies shot, so it wasn't too bad. My weight has stayed the same from last fall, 5 pounds eight ounces. I am a mean, lean fighting machine.

Roof, Roof

We had a new roof put on this week. The guys started at 7:00 Monday morning and were done by Tuesday afternoon. They were the same carpenters that built our addition. It was very loud with all the pounding and hammering. We also had a fan installed in the bathroom and a new back door installed.

Robin's Nest

Looks like supper is right out the back door!

iPAD Cat

I wish my owners would buy me one!

A screenshot from a YouTube video from user "Plaidkeys" shows the ultimate power of the iPad.

The best of technology serves as a game changer:

The printing press allowed ideas to readily spread in a permanent and consistent manner. Radio and television brought entertainment out of the concert halls and movie theaters and into the home. The Internet changed the way people do business, connect, and communicate with others.

That brings us to Apple's iPad. Publishers are hoping for a new platform that can serve as a life preserver to a flagging industry. Hollywood is looking at the device as a new way to deliver content.

It's being pegged as a device that has "the potential to change portable computing profoundly."

But perhaps its most fascinating use is—if YouTube is any sort of barometer—a cat toy.

A morning post on Gizmodo prompted a search on the site for "cat ipad" that yields seven pages of results. On the first page alone, six results are of cats playing with the iPad.

A majority of the others are nothing more than takes on various viral phenomena such as the "OMG Cat" or "Keyboard Cat" with the iPad built in.

Given that the eyes of the business world obsessively focus on 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, California, and that venture capitalists are advising tomorrow's business leaders to "be like Steve," in reference to Apple's head guru, it seems a bit terrifying that many business leaders are banking their companies' futures on a $500 cat toy.

The Problem with Deforestation

I feel sorry for my dog friends!!

Moe (Township) Cats

Here are a couple of cool cats. Mario and Luigi live on Lake Mina. They think they are pretty smart, but WHO has a blog. Not them.

Chilling Out(side)

Just hanging out with my homies! Nothin new in the hood.

Supper Time

What's for supper?

Just Relaxing

Pretty uneventful day. Kind of cold outside, so I will just lay in the sun. Warren is too busy to hold me. That's what he says anyway. He talks to himself allot. What's up with that?

HAPPY EASTER

Where is that egg?
Am I close?

BLOGGING

Warren always has to look over my shoulder when I blog so I don't post anything inappropriate. "Hey buddy don't you know about the first amendment?"
