Recycling seems to be very fashionable these days, which is better than just throwing things into the bin and let them end up in a landfill.

One of my cats, Miu, has learned how to open closed doors. She jumps onto the door handle and waits for it to click. She then gets down and uses her claws to pull the door open. We didn't teach her this but it's quite a useful skill, because we don't need to open the door for her when she's in a room and wants to get out :)

Google Maps has a new toy: 3D maps using WebGL. They have both 3D rendered buildings (on some cities) and "3D" satellite imagery (which is basically aerial photos taken from four different angles and you can rotate through them). They actually make further use of WebGL, since they provide hardware accelerated image transitions and some other stuff.

Since Chrome 15 just came out as stable, I thought that maybe

Just updated my Arris password of the day generator to include both a bookmarklet and an online generator.

1. Turn on the Speakers and allow the page to load fully;
2. Stare at the Picture without laughing for 60 seconds;
3. If you start laughing, consider yourself legally insane.

This one is quite old but I find it such a precious gem, that I'm replicating it here, just in case it gets lost on the web. :)
