Amazing 1950s Computer Harddrive – Weighs Over a Ton!
Feb 6th
This is the IBM 305 RAMAC, the very first computer to contain a hard disc drive. It weighed over a ton and stored….WAIT FOR IT…5 MBs OF DATA!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you kidding me?
I have a flash drive smaller than my thumb that holds 8 GBs.
For those of us doing math, that’s 1,600 times as much data.
I’ll wait now, while you mull that.
Is your mind blown? If not…it well and truly should be.

I tool this the other day while I was trying to wake that sleepyhead up! 
Then, of course, there’s the added cuteness of THE TONGUE:

It’s pre-sliced red apples with Walden Farms calorie-free caramel dip. MMMMMMM…so good. And let’s just take a moment to absorb that little descriptor there. CALORIE-FRICKIN-FREE!!!!!!! No calories. Zero. None. Zippo. The big zilch.
And, yes. That’s an XS in the background. I’m in heaven!

Rent From Us or Burn in Hell!
Jan 20th
OK, people! I risked life and limb digging my camera out of my purse while still remaining level with this guy on the freeway! Not to mention having to continue freeway driving while I held my camera up to the window with a steady enough hand to take a legible picture.
It was worth it, though, to memorialize this truck. Jesus Party Rentals.
Where the staff of Party Down Catering will be working after they get their lives right, I imagine! And here they thought they were just gonna go wait tables at the Soup’r Crackers!

Here’s What I Love About IHOP…
Jan 19th
They just bring you the whole freaking coffeepot. They’re like…”Who are we fucking kidding? Let’s just drop all the pretense. We’ll leave the pot.”
And, hey IHOP. I agree!
Meredith, Megan, and Charles Dickens
Jan 3rd
Meredith, meet Megan. And vice versa. You guys have several things in common.
- You’re both on my Facebook friends list
- Both of your names start with “Me” – weird
- Both of you had Dickensian new years proclamations that ended up right next to each other in my feed.
I think this is fate, you guys should be friends!
Herc’s BIG Food Bowl

When I was transferring Hercules’ food into a plastic container, he was like, “FINALLY! She got me an appropriately-sized food bowl!”
Cool Dogs that Handle Their Own Finances
Dec 30th
In the past couple of months, I’ve seen two – not one, but TWO – examples of dogs in banks. Weird – never seen it before, and not since.
But, in the service of my readers, I have memorialized the occasions -
Here’s a little dog who actually seems to be talking to the teller about his account. Maybe the lady sitting next to him is his dog-to-English interpreter?
Now, these two guys – while less interested in the actual financial transaction than the first – were cool for the fact that they were totally off-leash and well trained.
Here are some snaps I took of them across the plaza, waiting outside while their owner got some coffee -
And then, of course, there’s what MY little guy does when we run errands -
He waits cutely in the car!
