Technophobia, Dogtown

We visited Dogtown again yesterday (fourth or fifth time this year?), and it was spectacularly beautiful. Unfortunately, the new memory card for my camera malfunctioned and none of my pictures came out. Later on today cottonmanifesto will post her pictures, which will no doubt be spectacular.

My brother, brush_rat, today posted pictures of the first time I ever visited Dogtown. Check them out here. Unfortunately for me, the pictures aren't loading on my home computer. I'll have to wait to see them at work.

Meat Poll

I thought I'd try to make a poll. Let's see how this goes.

Wikipedia on cuttlefish, cats

Like octopuses, cuttlefish have been successfully raised as pets in home aquariums, though even their bare necessities are significant. In particular, cuttlefish need a minimum amount of sea water in proportion to their body size, their tank needs to be cleaned every time they ink, they cannot tolerate abrupt changes in light levels, and they cannot coexist with other animals, and rarely ever with other cuttlefish. All other animals of comparable or smaller size, including other cuttlefish, are instinctively seen as food.

Domestic cuttlefish are very reminiscent of domestic cats, even exhibiting cat-like habits such as resting, pouncing on moving prey, begging owners for food, and even begging for more food than they need or is healthy for them. Like cats, cuttlefish are not truly tame, but rather tolerate and cooperate with their owners to live a comfortable life. But unlike cats, cuttlefish will try to eat other cuttlefish.
