Replacing $100K diagnostic chip fab with Shrinky-Dinks and a laser-printer - Boing Boing
"Khine began using the chips in her experiments, but she didn't view her toaster-oven hack as a breakthrough right away. "I thought it would be something to hold me over until we got the proper equipment in place," she says. But when she published a short paper about her technique, she was floored by the response she got from scientists all over the world. "I had no idea people were going to be so interested," Khine says." - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet

"It's back! The ultimate in friction-free, ultra-lightweight charity engines is here, ready to transform the slightest movements of your finger into much-needed respite for young people. Here's what's up: We've got New Hospitals this year, a tender cross-section of facilities you've directed us to over the past year. Focus your Charity Beam on Dayton, Cleveland, Colorado Springs, Boise, Memphis, or (for Canadian readers) Victoria, Ottawa and St. John's. The Sponsors you see on the main page have gotten the ball rolling to the tune of two-hundred and sixty thousand dollars. Not a bad take before the thing even starts, huh? Don't forget our annual Charity Dinner and Auction, which is reliably fun, productive, and delicious. We've also spun up a Twitter feed (@CPCharity) to keep you up to speed with the community's unstoppable charitable assault." - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet

They're not hurting me any so it's okay. ;-) - pea ♥ fierce as a woozle
LOL - thankfully they're just in a Word doc I'm editing for work. I just keep finding myself making spelling errors, but the nasty kind where they are words that are spelled correctly, just not the right ones. Done now :) - Jennifer Dittrich
@sperospiro I'll have to check it out! I had gotten bored and drifted away, but that makes me want to catch up :)

How scientists determined how many humans two lions ate in 1898 - Boing Boing - http://www.boingboing.net/2009...
How scientists determined how many humans two lions ate in 1898 - Boing Boing
"How do you gauge the magnitude of a series of lion attacks that occurred over a century ago? In 1898, construction on the Ugandan Railroad in East Africa was halted due to deadly, nightly lion invasions that took the lives of Indian and African laborers who were working on the project. By some estimates, over 100 people had been devoured by these animals, hungry because drought and disease had reduced the number of natural prey. But researchers at UC Santa Cruz published a report this week that gave a more accurate estimate of how many humans the two male lions really ate." - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet

"Emerson says:"In a French court, a German doctor is found guilty in absentia of manslaughter, for the death of a 14 year old girl. Germany refuses to extradite. Twenty seven years later the girl's father drops off the gagged, tied, and beaten doctor on the steps of the French courthouse."" - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet

"Another disembodied foot has been found inside a running shoe on a beach in Richmond, B.C. the seventh foot found along the coast, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police reported Wednesday." GYAH! - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet
This is just SO weird. I know they've matched several of the feet together, but still. FREAKY. - Jennifer Dittrich
Now this is happening on the west coast? Last year, it was New Jersey with all the feet. - Anika
where's dexter when you need him? - T. Brent, technopeasant
Oh, the feets have been showing up here (BC and WA) since '07 - they've ID'd some of them, but at least one of them is unmatched. - Jennifer Dittrich

Amazon.com: Clevercat Top Entry Litter Box: Home & Garden
Woo! Kitty totally figured out the crazy litter box I got her. Might be TMI, but I'm thrilled. - Jennifer Dittrich from Bookmarklet
Hrm... this might be an easy fix to keeping our little doggy away from the litterboxen. - Paul Reynolds
@Paul - I think it would work pretty well; the lid is high enough that a small dog would have trouble getting up there, or at the least, would cause a big racket doing so. - Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer, does it seem to keep the litter IN the box better than the traditional boxes? - Rochelle
looks like a good DIY project. - MicahBear78
Aye. Couldn't one just get a Rubbermade bucket and ...modify? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
It is definitely keeping the litter in a better - there's still a bit on the lid when the cat jumps out, but pretty small. @Tutivillus - I thought of modding one myself, but ended up not having enough time :) - Jennifer Dittrich
Time. Time is a cold, cold bitch that leaves us in an empty bed without coffee and wanting breakfast. - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift
We have two of these and like them, keeps the dog out of the litter! Only down-side is that the liners are expensive, I use PetSmart. - Victor Ryden
Do they make the sifty liners this big? - MicahBear78
What is a "sifty liner"? - Rochelle
there are a stack of ten plastic sheets. the bottom one is solid and each one above it is holey. use clumpy litter and a couple times a week you pull one liner up let it sift and throw the yuck away. - MicahBear78
Hmm, now I'm tempted to build one of these myself... Our kitten loves to kick litter around like crazy. - Jan Ole Peek
Useful information. Perhaps I should try something like this. I've switched to crystals for the litter, and that seems to be a big improvement compared to regular clumping litter. - Kittyburgers
@Kittyburgers - don't even get me started on how much I love the Swheat Scoop litter (made from wheat and is totally NOT stinky at all) I use with this :) - Jennifer Dittrich
I use a scoopfree, but I don't have a dog. works great, otherwise. - mjc
