RE-inspired

I haven't been updating this blog ever since I got kicked off google adsense due to my friends sitting around clicking my ads too many times in one day. The Evil Empire Google smacked me in the face and I didn't like it. I stopped posting because a lot of stuff was happening and I kind of lost interest because I was kind of forcing myself to update once a day. So now I'm just going to randomly update whenever I feel like it.

Today on the front page of yahoo, I saw an interesting article about the powers of cats and teh interwebs. So now, I have something to aspire to - to be the 2nd greatest catz/interweb combo in teh WORLD. lololXDXD.

I can haz EMPIRE?

Friends with Cats: Will

 From the way my Friends with Cats series has been going, many a human would believe that only girls like holding a cute and cuddly cat in their hands. Well it seems right because the only cat picture I have so far from a dood is this nicely done work by James, a juxtaposition of beauty and beast, cute kitty and big scary man: Will Gorman.

 I'm pretty sure Will loves cats more than anything else in the world, but come on Will you have to take a picture with your cat or else James is just gonna photoshop your head next to your kitty and that's no funz. Hold your littly kitty and play wif it and stuff and give it a lot of catnip so it can get high as a birdy... and then eat the birdy.

Will is an interesting boy though, a man with a boatload of interests and the patience to pursue them all here at UT. ChE, Plan II, BFP, he seems to be a man with so many interests that he will have a very hard time picking what path he actually wants to go down in life. I sometimes feel the same way with all of the interesting stuff that happens in the world from the stuff we can learn in the classroom to the stuff we can learn from other people. Such a brain, Will.

If you are having trouble deciding though Will, you can't go wrong just being a kitty fanatic, since that is the most interesting thing in the world, does not have a course requirements list, nor do you have to register. Just go kookoo for kitties and your future will be verrry bright. Enjoy all your pursuits will, but know that in all the dreams you chase, you are still just a little kitty trying to decide which cat toy to play with.

Who's cuter?

lolcat bible quotes

So in conjunction with this blog's series of Friends with Cats, the next "thing" I will be doing is posting quotes from the good book occasionally. Not the International Edition, the King James version, or just that old version that Jewish people read, but the lolcat bible.

This idea really was inspired by a birfdai gift from Raeanna, albeit a realllllllly late birthday gift :P. I gave her lubs and she gived me the good book, and now I see de light. De book iz a modern muracle and takes a rel great perspektif on the old bawring edition of teh bible.

Expect great quotes!!!

Kitteh Roulette

Haven't been posting quite as frequently because Eldridge decided to make 2 CHE 317 homeworks due this friday, both of which are quite long and take a lot of my time, and Anslyn coupled it with an oChem II test on tuesday. Luckily, I've found a great site to take my mind off of all the work (unfortunately, making the work even slower, but slow and steady is the way to go). Check it out, it's called Kitteh Roulette and it's just like Chat Roulette except that it plays a random cute kitty video every time you click next, and don't worry there are no cat penises on this one so its good family friendly fun. That's all for right now?

if your screen doesn't look like this all the time, you're doing it wrong

My Dad's Work

   As many of you know, my dad is a professor at UTSA. So a little while back, my dad solved some equation that allowed him to push forward in his research work which made him really excited for a while, and resulted in a lot of celebration dinners at Zio's and Fish City Grill (conveniently across the street from each other). Just now he is sending in a lot of papers and finally being recognized for a lot of the stuff that he's doing, which I'm really proud of because he is very passionate about it, and I even helped him out a bit back in high school.

So a while back he was on KENS 5 news for another work he did that was a precursor to the study he is currently doing, which involves arterial tortuosity and the biomechanical modeling of the mechanism by which this occurs, and now he is on KENS 5 again talking about arterial curliing. He even told me it was the same woman and cameraman team who came to interview him from the past. Check out the video if you want to, it's kind of cheesy, but come on, it's my dad!

Anyways, past this spotlight on KENS 5, he was also on KSAT 12 today! However, KSAT 12 still lives in the stone age and obviously doesn't understand my level of computer retardation since they don't have a way to embed their videos on my site, so here's just a link dump to the video.


Even UTSA is tweeting about him! 

 He will be on SA Living (San Antonio's equivalent of The Today Show) on April 20th, and he is flying out of town soon afterwards to give a series of talks on his work. Man, everyone is so busy nowadays! That, coupled with all the work that I have, means a long month ahead for the males of the Han clan.

And to all of you saying, where's the cat in this? Don't worry. My dad went to bed but tomorrow I'm going to catch him with our cat and post it.


UPDATE: Proof my dad <3 cats

Sneaking food under the table?!!

Friends with Cats: Samira

Wow, so many cat lovers have birthdays in April. Including, but not limited to, my mom, Mandy Moore, Tia (who was featured on an earlier edition of Friends with Cats), the brown guy from Slumdog Millionare, Jet Li, Ulysses Grant, KELLY CLARKSON (said like Steven Carell), Master P, and of course, the birthday celebrating cat-ophile Samira. So basically, I only know her as the one who started the chatroulette online sensation within the quad, and I'd just like to tell her that I am truly scarred by all of those pee pee's that I've had to F9. However, it was really fun to mess around with that site. Also, Samira pretty much made Tim admit he's gay, which just shows you how much personal sway us cat lovers have.

Anyways, there was a pretty sweet shindig downstairs in Andrews last night for her, but I didn't really get to say happy birthday because she was always surround by her incredible posse of friends, but at least I got some dericious cakes. Anyways, here's a birthday spotlight for a cat lover who isn't afraid to show it. Enjoy your birthday with thoughts of itty bitty kittys rolling around in a basket of yarn.

at least cats luv iPads

So the newest piece of technology causing widespread flame wars and arguments on the interwebs is the Apple iPad. Everyone has their own unique opinion on it, and while other people probably have more well researched opinions than me, my personal opinion is as follows.

It sucks. You can't type with it on the go in any comfortable way. Imagine trying to make your way through a crowded subway with a giant clunk of metal in your hand, held precariously by your fingers on the side since there is no other way to grip the piece of crap, and trying to type with the fingers on one hand. So slow. It's impractical and expensive, and will probably end up being more like the Macbook Air than it is like the iPhone.

There is one positive with the iPad though, cats ruv dem! There has been a tremendous outpouring of kitty support for the enlarged screen of the iPad, which can serve as a virtual playground for the cats by offering them a little moving animation that can respond to the touch of their warm wittle paws. Cat love chasing around virtual mice and playing with little pixels of string, almost as much as humans love watching their little feline friends' heads curiously bob back and forth. But again this only works with the iPad on a flat surface, and it's not like there is any need for cats to send business documents, so really the iPad still sucks for humans, but rocks the fancy out of cats. Man, just think what cats would do with a Microsoft Surface or an HP Touchsmart on the table (accepting all donations for my kitty *cough* ASHTON *cough*)

Here's a cute video!

Friends with Cats: Kristin

Today, I will retaliate against Kristin's hate filled facebook status from two nights ago where she dared typing this. 

Kristin Davis wants a puppy >.<

Tue at 7:55pm 

Totally not cool. Not to mention what the kitty overlord will probably do to you, but you will now suffer from the wrath of being ranted at on my blog. 

Kristin knows she wants a cute kitty, but had a momentary lapse on facebook. Probably because she was drunk. Or too busy shifting through yesstyle cat hoodies and wanted a change of pace. But seriously, why the fuck would anyone want a change of pace from those cute little buggers called kitties. I know Kristin has seen kitties and been around kitties long enough to know how awesome they are.

Look at this picture I found of Kristin going out of her way to pose with a neighborhood cat, her only friend on those dark cold nights living alone. Kristin went all up near the cat's grill and was probably even contemplating some thievery, since all cats are so cute you just want to have them for yourself. There's no doubt that Kristin wants to be BFF with the cat, but the cat's all like "rawr, i'mma rub my facez on dis windao" TOTALLY IGNORED KDAVIS. Better luck next time, but no need to go out and write such a hateful statement. There is no need to blatantly display your minimal wanting for a puppy, when you have such overt and insatiable desire for cats, kitties, lolcats, and cat-themed blogs.  My only question to you is what were you thinking?

Kyle is President

Kyle unanimously won approval today at the SASE meeting, becoming the next president of UT's SASE. Unfortunately, he did not give a speech, since he didn't really need to. Later on, there will be the other officer elections, which will get pretty heated as we will compete to get positions ranging from VP Finance to VP Internal to chai wallah (thanks sush). Hopefully, next year SASE will be better than ever!

Check out their facebook page.

Friends with Cats: Kyle's SASE Edition

Kyle has been a dedicated member of SASE since its inception last year and today is the presidential election for Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers (SASE), and Kyle would truly appreciate your vote for president. His platform is based on growing SASE through new volunteering efforts and an increased identification with the larger Asian-American population here on campus. Kyle himself is not "Asian", but he loves all the things that I love, including manga, Asian girls, and, of course, engineering! He will be a great president and lead the SASE into a better second year here on campus at the University of Texas at Austin. The vote is tonight at 6pm in RLM 7.114, so come out and vote for him!



This blog is still about cats, and this is the only picture that I could find with Kyle and a cat. I promise it's legitimate and completely unaltered, as is Kyle. This is also in line with our series of people posing with cats. Enjoy!

Cat Show in Mesquite

This weekend, the Cat Fancier's Association is hosting yet another one of their numerous cat shows. It's going to be in Mesquite, TX - which is right by Dallas. Check it out if you guys can, I know I can't because of school and on account of the fact that no one can take me to Dallas. The Cat Fancier's Association show is usually pretty nice, as they have been around for a while and they are a nationally organized association.


The cat above is their BEST CAT winner for the 2008-2009 show season, which I personally do not like that much. So if any of you are interested, enter your cat into the competition and maybe you'll win!

You can check out some pictures, or enter for any of the Cat Fancier's Association Shows at the following website.

Friends with Cats: Tia

It's Tia's Birthday today, so I thought I would give her the great present of being the first person with a cat in an image that I post.

Friends with Cats Announcement

So I will be starting the first official "thing" for this blog. It's just going to be pictures of people I know with a cat. I have no idea if they actually own the cat, nor do I care, but the fact that so many of my friends go giggly for cats is super cool.

If any of you who I put on this site find it creepy that I jacked a photo of you off facebook with a cat, please just tell me and I'll take it off.

Enjoy
