Evil cat, without superpowers
My cat is sick. On ICQ, Israel commented:
The Moniker: He has fever and no strength.
I wonder why I am even treating him: he is much better behaved this way…
Israel: Oh. Poor cat.
Israel: I tell you why, because seeing a cat without his superpowers is too sad.
Israel: With evil cat it is doubly so
Israel: Superman without powers getting his ass kicked in pub is OK. Lois kiss him, and he learns what it is like to be human.
The Moniker: yep. Usually he is bouncy, hungry, yowling and annoying, always wanting to rush outside and annoy other cats, or piss in secret corners in house behind my back. Yesterday he lie in basket like a squeezed dishrag.
Israel: Zod without powers OTOH… I almost cried.
The Moniker: LOL!

Ghostwheel Rocks Ulaanbaatar
Tal is in Mongolia, eating meat (in a bun), bitching about it but not letting people push him around. He’s glad Reagan’s dead and pissed off at America’s collective Alzheimer about the guy. Go read him, if you aren’t already.

Salon Mazal
I’m giving a talk on the 27th of June at Salon Mazal about Science Fiction. Salon Mazal is a alternative culture/indie/anarchist hangout, or something like that. Other talks by folks I know are Adi (Bracha Hagoleshet) Aliya about drugs (today, 10th of June), Neora Shem Shaul and Nimrod Keret on Open Source and cellular crypto stuff (17th of June), and Nimrod again on electronic paranoia on the 23rd.
An article in Haaretz (Hebrew) about Evogene, the company where I work.
