At the risk of revealing myself as a crazy cat lady, I would like to share two alternatives to traditional cat photography.
Stuff On My Cat is a site where you can submit pictures of... well... stuff on your cat. To demonstrate, I took a picture of Stewie, uploaded it to my Kodak Picture Viewer, then put it on Stewie and took another picture.
If that is not enough "cat picture within a cat picture" content for you, check out Infinite Cat.
The idea is to take a picture of your cat looking at the site on a computer screen and then submiting the picture for another cat to gaze at and have it's picture taken... and so on, and so forth... forever and ever... infinitely.
There is also My Cat Hates You, a collection of "sour faced, indignant felines"... but I don't have any pictures of Stewie illustrating it because Stewie loves EVERYONE.
I have now posted twice about pictures of my cat.
I am sure my dog is going to be ticked about this.
He is probably at home chewing up my favorite shoes right this very minute.
Love and fruit flies... huh?! Let me explain...
At this time of year, Rochester's area orchards are full of ripe fruit and the population of bees and fruit flies increase. A swarm of these fruit flies have found their way into the kodak.com area at Kodak HQ! Jill Bird, a member of the Site Operations team, explained the situation to her husband Jim. Jim is a clever and resourceful engineer who works at Kodak Park, our manufacturing center here in Rochester, NY.
As Jill describes it, she heard strange noises coming from her basement last night while Jim was tinkering around. Later he came up the stairs with an invention to help with the fruit fly situation. Using a clunky rotary thing-a-ma-bob from an old Kodak prototype, he crafted a machine he dubbed "The Fruit Fly Flattener." After 32 years of marriage if that isn't love I don't know what is!
We are unsure if patents will be pursued at this time but will keep you posted. Certainly someone in Business Research has a spreadsheet tracking the results by now - Thwack!!
