Signs blog is boring: cute cat photos?

February 12, 2007 By

I used to say that among the top signs your tech blog is boring would be that you posted a cute cat photo. But, I’ve become a sucker for CuteOverload — a blog of totally cute things — and this little video of a cat being cute on piano made Maryam laugh this morning.

I try to protect you from such cute stuff on my link blog (which is how I found that video today), though, but once in a while I do post one of these Cute Overload things. Just to have some fun.

UPDATE: Gizmodo has some cute cat photos of cats playing video games. I guess cute cats are the theme today.

    Phew, after looking at CERN experiments, eating with physicists and such, a little fun is definitely in order.

    I am not a cat person. If they post pictures of a “cute” cats, if there is such a thing, only means cat people don’t have enough to do with their lives, which is about a third of America.

    Danny: Gizmodo posted some cat photos today too. Heheh. Just to bug you. http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/gadgets/take-a-break-from-the-nonstop-cellphone-coverage-235882.php

    Probably the same link as the one mentioned in the Gizmodo post, but check out:

    Also, another really good one I discovered via BoingBoing over the weekend:

    I’m not even a cat lover, but Cute Overload deserves a spot in everyone aggregator, if only for a little daily lightheartedness. I Can Has Cheezburger is quickly approaching the same status, in my book. :-)

    Robert,

    Adding cutesie stuff once in a while is neither boring nor uncool. Forget any detractors and naysayers. Cutsie stuff adds some lightheartedness to a too serious world.

    I’m with you… seeing cute kittens and puppies is always fun and helps to lighten the mental load, if only for a moment.

    Cute cat pictures are far more compelling than most tech blogs out there. Cute pictures are far from boring and people who think they are have deep-seated emotional problems. On this issue there can be no reasonable disagreement.

    #5, even if you’re not a cat person, you can usually laugh at cats. Cats pretend they have a lot of dignity, but they’re more prone to silly situations than one’s drunk uncle at a wedding with a loose belt.

    Which explains why I have a cat as my mascot. :)
