What happens when you release 100 cats in an Ikea?

(and, if you’re like me and thought there weren’t nearly enough cute cats playing in the lighting fixtures in the above video, here’s some bonus content.)

I would marry any one of these men.  Sorry, Jeremy, but I’m sure you can understand.

Just when I thought I was jaded and beyond impressing, my iPhone somehow managed to blow my mind again.
I just deposited a check into my bank account without leaving my living room.  All I had to do was take a picture of the front and back and magic of the intrawebs made me (vaguely) richer!!!  I was pretty sad when WaMu got taken over by Chase a couple years ago, but this one app has pretty much single handedly changed my mind.  I ♥ Chase!  Until they charge me some ridiculous overage, of course, then I’ll likely write a much complainey-er blog post about them.  Until then: if you have an iPhone + Chase, download their mobile app.  It will help you be so much lazier!

Do you love math? Hate it? Are you a teacher? Were you ever a student? Then read this article!

“Teaching is not about information. It’s about having an honest intellectual relationship with your students. It requires no method, no tools, and no training. Just the ability to be real. And if you can’t be real, then you have no right to inflict yourself upon innocent children.”

Thanks to Neel & Latif for introducing me to Lockheart.

I swore I’d never write one of those blog entries where I apologize for not writing any recent blog entries

And yet here I am.

I could tell you all about the wonderful progress I’ve been making on my novel, or the countless hours of old television I’ve been watching thanks to Netflix OnDemand, but I felt this a more suitable way of apologizing:
