Tech, cats, cat-tech & being catty about tech. Basically I'm a tech writer who also runs a cat rescue. Well, I do have a lot of mice.
Amazes me how often you see the phrasing "X and I's" as in "my wife and I's house" on the internet.

I's? Seriously? I'S?!?!

THE WORD IS MY

I meant for this to be a photo but I'm very glad it wasn't

This is the greatest semi-related section of a Wikipedia article I've ever seen. On the page for the black neon tetra, a type of fish

Smol Paul is deeply unimpressed with my new Smol Paul mug 😆

Merry Christmas, everyone!

There are more zoomed out versions for cropping but I prefer the accidental drama of the original 😅

My perfect boy Bertles here demonstrating exactly why Colin built a keyboard shield. I keep telling him he needs to put them into mass production, everyone needs one 😆

Just a nice story about a tiny Nottingham band that got huge because someone found their record in a charity shop and posted it online.

It also tagged Sprout as me.

This is Sprout

Colin's work (Rare, the videogame company) had their Christmas dinner the other day & got a Grinch in.

Today Google Photos tagged that Grinch as me 😐

Remember how tech companies started making their products look 'cute' so we'd accept them easier?

Well, Perplexity (AI company) uses a Netscape-esque early-internet feel for its AI browser Comet, and as a millennial it's working FAR too well on me. That serif font 😭 Encarta vibes

I hope you've enjoyed some of the all-time greatest hits of the most ridiculous wobbly tuxedo cat, Smol Paul. I have LOVED sharing him with you these past 5 years and will never stop.

He cracks me up every day. This was literally yesterday

And the meme it spawned

That time I was apparently taking pictures of the wrong cat
