A couple of things on Boing Boing that I might be of interest to a couple of people:

Smart cat door keeps cat from bringing dead animals into house
Here's another good message from the Make weblog: jmassaglia says, "The Flo Control Project uses a webcam to do facial recognition as authentication to open a cat door for the family cat. If the cat has something in its mouth or some other animal approaches the door, it does not open. If the cat approaches with nothing in its mouth, then the door unlocks." Link
Of course, it would entail some work on the doors and wiring et al...

New Battlestar Galactica podcasts from SciFi Network
SciFi network just posted a new Battlestar Galactica podcast feature. Each week, the show's executive producer Ron Moore gives audio commentary on new episodes (warning: spoilers possible):

Copy-and-paste this link into your Podcast application. When you synch your MP3 device, you'll automatically receive any new commentary that's been posted. Start playing each episode's file when the words "The Cylons Were Created By Man" appear on your TV screen. Beeps will indicate when to pause for commercial breaks.

Totally frackin' awesome. Link (thanks, CE!)

"You are a good old-fashioned six-sided cube, otherwise known as a d6. Others know you to be plain, predictable, conservative, average, ordinary, and downright boring. You prefer to describe yourself as dependable, honest, practical and trustworthy. People usually know what to expect from you, since you rarely hold any surprises. You hate to make decisions, and if forced to decide, you'll always fall back on how it was done in the past. You always order the same thing at your favorite restaurant, and your jokes, while funny, are never too offensive. It seems that you are well liked, but maybe that's simply because there's nothing to hate."

But notice how luverly it is how the picture is called "boring"... *sigh*
