NY bicycle deliverymen are filing lawsuits against employers! It’s really quite ridiculous how much they have to put up with - and all for US$1.75 an hour. Very interesting read. (via Serious Eats)
Michelle from syntaxfree found and rescued a pregnant cat, who has since given birth. Her home, however, is way too full of cats already to be able to house all 5 of them, hence she’s desperately looking for adoptive cat-parents for the since we all know the fate of unadopted kittens left to the overcrowded SPCA.
I really wish I could take one - or two or twenty - but unfortunately there’s a clause in our tenancy agreement in which we’re not allowed to keep pets. I’m trying to convince bunny that they’re possible to keep incognito, but I don’t think I’m succeeding. Oh well, maybe our landlords will have a change of heart. Just in case I succeed in my venture, I’VE GOT MY EYE ON TIGERLILY AND/OR JACK SPARROW. (Yes, they have ridiculously cute names too.)

Edit: Looks like all the kittens are still there, WHAT’S UP PEOPLE? WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO HEARTLESS. Bah. Also, I’ve decided that if I make a breakthrough with the landlord/bunny, I want Smee. Smeeeeeee. SMEEEEEE! *melts. (andjacksparrowandtigerlilyanddavyjones.)
Simplify media is a lovely app that allows you to access your iTunes collection from a network of computers. It’s safe, it’s legal (since the music is just streamed and can’t be burnt onto a CD or anything on the non-host computers), it’s free and it makes life easy. Just download it, install it, add other computers to your network and share. Both mac and pc friendly.

Ok-funny stand-up comic, with a kickass intonation on the world “unbelievable” and “tangy”. Hahahahhaha. Honestly, the “unbelievable” was far more Singlish than Chinese-Immigrant-To-The-US though. Chekkit. (thanks vick)
