FridayVideos:AnEngineer’sGuidetoCats

The only thing sexier than a funny skinny nerd...are two funny skinny nerds who love cats.

Watch for the Corporal Cuddling and the noises the cats make. I think I ruptured something with my giggling.

You know how cats rub their scents on something by stroking their chin and little kitty lips on things? Usually while purring? And it looks like they’re kissing things?

If I were a cat, I’d do that to this amazing senior project:Looking at Libraries: Defining Space Through Content by Valérie Madill, a student at Emily Carr University in Vancouver, BC.

Madill does for books what Deborah Adler did for prescriptions, incorporating design and clarity into something eye catching, inherently useful (from my nooby perspective anyway) and simply amazing.

According to the description page in the website, library books “are lost within themselves and… the cover design has lost it’s presence.... A library is not a bookstore, [sic] books here are stored and classified, not sold; they are sought and they are found.”

Mixing color with the 21 general subject matter classifications, Madill’s system visually updates existing systems with color and centrally-located information. The spine has the classification data; the back has just about every piece of info on a book you could want, from ISBN to publisher.

Seriously. I’m drooling, and I’m not a librarian. That art right there is hot. Librarians, whaddya think?

Thanks to Rebecca for the link.

Having a stressful weekend? Need some silly images to bring you the silly kind of calm that comes from laughing?

Here. Cats in sinks. Sites like that are the reason the internet exists.

CastaSpell,WinaBook

Book CoverCheyenne McCray has 13 ARCs of her new book Dark Magic and these ARCs are looking for homes. Why not with Bitchery members, right? The book comes out in November, so you can get a sneak peek at the story. All you have to do is come up with an answer to the following question: if you could create one fail-safe spell that would be yours to use forever, what would it be?

Me? The ability to wave my hands and have clutter, dirty dishes, and random crap strewn about my house instantly in its place. This particularly applies to the stuffed animals that one of my cats sees fit to “kill” and “present” to us while we’re not home, leaving us with about six or seven “dead” stuffed animals on the kitchen floor every single day.

Cheyenne’s is similar - a wave of one hand, and the house is clean. What about you? What powerful spell would you like to have in your arsenal? Never being late? Never sitting in traffic (oh, I might have to change my answer now....)? Name your spell in the next 24 hours, and Cheyenne will pick 13 winners. Bibbity, bobbity, boo!
