This dainty kitty begging for food starts off adorable, and at 0:17 becomes brain-meltingly awesome. Flappity flap flap!
What IS this cold white stuff? Thank God I’m wearing this faaaaaaaaabulous coat!

All right, boys, I know things aren’t looking good out there: We’re down 189 to 3, half our defensive line is in a coma, and our quarterback is curled up in a fetal position in the locker room crying for his mommy.
But don’t give up. When the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, I’m asking you to go in there with all you’ve got, and win just one for the Yipper.
Star sender-inner Moriah L. scores another touchdown!

I forgot to take my chicken out of the freezer so I could roast it for Shabbos. I get home a little 1pm. Shabbos comes in at 4:12pm. That means I have to be DONE in the kitchen by then. Stuff can keep cooking, I just can't cook it. Make sense? So there's no way for me to defrost, then roast the chicken, so it's going in the crock. I know this works, it just yields a kind of tasteless chicken. Any hints or recipes to keep some of the flavor?
Look! Look! An actual Big Announcement (t)!
As of this coming Monday, Dec 21, Dork Tower will be running here and at the Wired.com blog, GeekDad!
Here’s the announcement from GeekDad editor Ken Denmead:
**************************
It still amazes me when cool stuff like this happens to us, but I’m not one to look a gift-muskrat in the mouth. Starting this Monday, December 21st , GeekDad will be happy (nay, ecstatic!) to start presenting the thrice-weekly geeky comic joy that is Dork Tower, by John Kovalic
If you know of Dork Tower, then you’re already squee-ing in excitement right alongside us. If you don’t know what Dork Tower is, then either you’re about to add a new layer of happiness to the Photoshop composite of your life, or you’re slowly beginning to realize you didn’t click through to the Monkey Bites blog.
From the official Dork Tower website:
DORK TOWER is for anybody who’s ever been burned being an early adapter; who have more Twitter tweets than actual Twitter followers; who’s ever gone to a Star Trek convention; who’s ever played Dungeons and Dragons; who suspects Anime is more than just a passing fad; and who’s been fragged by a Gravity Hammer in Halo III – or anyone who KNOWS one of these people. But it’s REALLY for people who know what the hip social networking du jour site is; who has bookmarked thinkgeek.com; who’s memorized every lyric to Jonathan Coulton’s ouvre; who’s cataloged which Classic Trek episodes involved the Prime Directive; and who knows the names of six people and a cat that make regular appearances in Wil Wheaton’s blog. And, of course, it’s for people who know that HAN SHOT FIRST!
DORK TOWER the multi-award-winning story of Matt, Igor, Ken, Carson the Muskrat (yes, he’s a muskrat) and Gilly, the Perky Goth. They’re trapped in a world they never made… but are nevertheless striving to create a realistic yet playable simulation thereof! Dork Tower has, in its decade of life, existed as a stand-alone comic book, a featured comic in Dragon, Scrye and Games magazines, and one of the earliest regular web-comics online. Its creator, John Kovalic, is also the illustrator and co-creator of world-renown games Munchkin and Apples to Apples. But perhaps his greatest creation is his new daughter, whose existence has transformed him from a simple, Bruce Banner-like comics and game illustrator, into a hulking green(bay) GeekDad. Which is where we come in.
So please, let’s all extend John a warm (but slightly clammy) welcome to the GeekDad community, and thank him profusely for sharing Dork Tower with us, so we can help share it with the world!
**************************
GeekDad gets around a million and a half page views per month – that’s THREE FULL WHEATONS, folks! – and about a million unique visitors.
What does this mean for DorkTower.com? Well, lots of good stuff. While web goddess Cat and I sharpen the look and speed of the site, if anything goes wrong, you can always catch the Monday/Wednesday/Friday Dork Towers at 9 am, CST, on GeekDad!. The archives will remain here, and the new comics will continue to run here. The Archives – through a redesign of the site – will become easier to use and navigate through.
It also means that, from time to time, I’ll be doing more than just running the day’s cartoons at GeekDad…I’ll also be coming up with some specific cartoons directed at the Wired/GeekDad audience. Plus, Ken and I have one or two Sekrit Projekts which are still in the planning stages, yet which are very, very kewl.
But for the moment, I’m just thrilled to be associated with Wired.com, the GeekDad blog, and the folks at GeekDad in particular
My name is John, and I’m a GeekDad!
I need to make a slightly tricky choice. I'm a departmental administrator currently working in a medical faculty, but my own background is in humanities (specifically history and literature). I've been in this post for about 9 months. I really like my job and I work with a good team of people. I'm currently leading the team planning a pretty major conference for the middle of 2010.
BUT my dream job, the thing I've said is the next step I want to make in my career, has just appeared on the College website. It would be a more senior position with a bit more responsibility and most importantly it would move me into the history department.
Do I go for it? I'm worried that I haven't been in this post very long and I don't want to leave people in the lurch with the conference, but at the same time this opportunity might not come up again. If I don't get it I will be perfectly happy staying where I am.
Thanks in advance.
Still more qualified than Dr. Phil

Tuesday: Almost had him. Caught a fleeting glimpse of his tail, but the slippery devil vanished again before I could grab it. But I’m close now — I can sense when he’s near. And I will wait for him, watch for him, as long as it takes — until I can confront my keepers with the truth: There is someone else in this cell with me.
I see why you named him Special Ed, Dolly W.
