If you or someone you love uses Reader, be warned that a security flaw has been detected in their implementation of Javascript: http://blogs.adobe.com/psirt/2009/04/update_on_adobe_reader_issue.html

Our cat loves our computers, as Jen may have attested before. She especially loves walking on the keyboards, a possible attempt to interface with the machine and thus get even more attention.

However, just 5 minutes ago, she broke the internet.

I was cutting and pasting a link to a GameFAQs message board when Rydia - as she does every once in a while - jumped onto the bed to get to the window sill. My computer was in the way of her path, though, so rather than walk around it, she walks OVER it, stares at the screen for a sec, then moves off and goes to the sill.

That's all I have to say about that : )
