6514 To the Vet!

scottobearNewtie at the vet for shots and such.
He was a very good boy.. no muss, no fuss, and was perfectly content to take his shots like a man. erm, tomcat. He was a bit nervous and skulky when I first put him in the travel-box, but he was fine, once we got moving. He wasn't drooly or cranky at all this time. His weight is still the same, and the doctor complimented him on how clean, fit, and well-loved he is.

I love his little bendy-paw.
When stressed, Ol' Newtie sheds like a fiend. A little cooing calmed him down quickly, though.
Skulking around, once he got comfortable with the fact he was in that place where you get shots again.
Hmm.. now was the time I was going to visit the bro. I think I'll just clean up the bathroom, play with the very good boy, and then head over to Kev's to goof around and exchange belated birthday prezzies.
Until later, dear journal.

Radar on a Chip Means Radar on the Cheap
Hey, now you could make Mageknight/Heroclix minis with automatic range validation! Seriously, though, I'd love to have a chip like that in my palmtop. *All sorts* of applications could be opened up. (Especially the Antenna one.)

The TENS unit is heavenly. Very powerful, very customizable, works well with my sitting and standing positions, and small enough to take with me out and about. Pretty Frickin' awesome.

I think it's because I like to hug.

Radar on a Chip Means Radar on the Cheap
Late last month, an associate professor by the name of Ali Hajimiri of the California Institute of Technology announced that he had come up with a radar system on a chip. This is significant for two reasons. First, its tiny dimensions (one-fifteenth the diameter of a penny) will make it possible to add radar-like functionality to almost any wireless device no matter how small it is. Second, the price of anything that can be manufactured in a silicon fabrication plant will plummet as the number of units shipped increases. Will the next decade be known as the "Radar Age"?Of course... my first thought?
Maybe so. Hajimiri's radar on a chip could replace a lot of existing dish antennae, like the kind you have on your roof to watch satellite TV. The frequency at which the chip runs - 24 Gigahertz - falls right into the spectrum allocated by the FCC for vehicular radar systems. These chips could be embedded into a car to give it 360-degree, all weather vision, protecting the occupants from reckless drivers and other highway hazards.

Awww..Newt's got the big eyed look kitties get when nervous.
I love Bendy-paws. I call them "wheels" though... As in "(Insert kitty name) how come you've got your little wheels turned under?" Then I have to reach out and touch the paw because it's so cute, which makes them un-bend always. Ah well. :0)
wheels!
Date: 2004-03-06 07:54 pm (UTC)the nice thing about bendy-paws is that they unbend and rebend again. :)
"Bendy paw" is one step away from "cat loaf"
Date: 2004-03-06 10:13 am (UTC)Lucille sheds like a maniac at the vet too. That's why I always wear a grungy shirt when I take her there. She's due for her annual physical sometime soon. That should be fun.
