Stuff

I'm busy working, and also taking care of a (now) 6-week old kitten, which is more work than you might imagine. Especially when he prefers to be glued to you (almost literally).

Anyway, here is some interesting stuff I've come across:

• Wimp.com has some of the most original video findings out there. This one of dinosaur models, from Australia (I think), is quite amazing.
• I did not know that otters must be taught how to swim. The mother otter leaves them essentially no choice.
• Wash Post op-ed: "The energy required to air-condition American homes and retail spaces had doubled since the early 1990s."
