Fergus the Dog vs the Rabbit Turds
I just thought this was hilarious and decided to share. Clearly this dog named Fergus deserves his own youtube channel.
Not to be outdone, see also: Cats, the Movie Trailer.
Evidently the guy making these videos is bored with his pets and has decided any pet videos he makes need to be seriously jazzed up.

Artwork of Women Riding Tigers
Paintings / artwork of women riding tigers seems to be some kind of thematic stereotype. Makes me wonder what Freud would think of it.

Paintings of Battle Cat
When I was a kid I remember playing with He-Man / Masters of the Universe... I dedicate this page to paintings of Battle Cat. Battle Cat was four legs of awesomeness.
I especially like the last painting. :)

How to shoot carp in midair
I saw this in a book and thought it was hilarious. Bowfishing is amazing!
Now you might wonder what a carp looks like up close.
Here is a photo I took at the grocery store. Not the best photo I admit, but $3.97 per pound is apparently the going rate at the local grocery store.

Why blogging is like essay writing
Some people compare blogging to journalism.
But really, most bloggers are not journalists.
Sure, they might sometimes talk about the news. But they are rarely reporting it.
Rather, blogging is more like essay writing. You write the essay, but unlike all those essays you did in university you don't have to worry about marks like you did back then. It is not like you are writing a dissertation that has to be "perfect", instead you can actually have fun writing your essay.
Sometimes it isn't even like an essay. Sometimes it is more like "Hey look, cute kitten photos!"
Like these kitten photos below. :)
Which means it isn't really journalism or essay writing either. In that respect blogging is more like scrapbooking - collecting photos and then putting them in your scrapbook as a collection of odd things.
And then there is the name "blogging", which is short for "web logging" - which means blogging is a bit like writing in a log book (like the captain of a ship). Which means blogging is more like a diary or journal.
So lets summarize here.
Blogging is
1 part journalism
1 part essay writing
1 part scrapbook
1 part diary / journal
It is no wonder we had to invent a new word to describe all the activities that a blogger does.
After all if only did journalism, or only essay writing, or only scrapbooking, or only writing in our diary - it would be kind of boring. But being all 4 at once allows us to do more innovative ways to use the technology at our fingertips.
And truth be told, while technology often annoys me, in this case I see benefits. Blogging provides a lot more freedom.
And what is more, it also creates an audience. Which means it is entertaining, and educational.
And anything that is educational can also legally break copyright laws - because if you share something for educational purposes, it falls into the terms of fair use.
And it means, that since bloggers are not journalists that bloggers should be held up to the same rigorous laws that journalists are. Which means you can call a criminal a crook, even if they are not convicted of the crime. (Although you might still get sued for defamation if the crook has a lot of money to throw around.)
Anywho, I think I have made my point.
Oh, I forgot one thing...
1 part rant
In other words, a chance for people to just complain about things that annoy them.
And now I shall stop stating the obvious. I am content that my point has been made.
