A double take I shouldn’t have taken

This morning while driving home from dropping off my son at kindergarten and SLP at work, I glanced at a pile of limestone blocks in a neighbor’s yard, part of some new landscaping they just put in this summer. At that first sidelong look, I thought I saw water dribbling down the rocks, and was surprised that it was actually a working fountain.

However, when I took a second look, I discovered it was not, in fact, a fountain. It was a cat sitting amongst the rocks. Vomiting profusely.

I’m just so glad I bothered to look more closely.

Presenting the most perverse (and brilliant) use of modern technology…

…in that it perfectly simulates ridiculously outdated technology.

Granted, if you weren’t a kid in the late ’70s or early ’80s, you probably aren’t interested in LED Football for the iPhone. But I had one of those old Mattel LED football games and, for some reason, I loved it. And I also love the developer’s sense of humor in the game description*:

Reach the end zone and you will hear the sweet sound of victory beeps. TOUCHDOWN! This is electronic sports at its best…. See the LED display, so bright and hi-tech.

*But I do not love the fact that iTunes doesn’t let you copy and paste description text. Boo!
