Jeber’s

Cleo gets a makeover

In case it’s not clear, I should point out that Jeber’s is my personal blog. Here’s where I post any old thing I think of or come across on the ‘net that doesn’t fit into any of the topics that I blog about elsewhere. I have a tech blog and three with different takes on social issues. I even have a blog for my workplace. But Jeber’s is me, it relects perhaps most accurately my eclectic interests.

Lately I’ve been obsessing over my dog, Cleo. I apologize to you non-dog-lovers, but I’m just so blown away by her attitude, her innate good behavior and her silliness I just can’t stop talking about her. Thanks goodness my Flickr stream already had a lot of non-Cleo pictures in it or people would think I can only photograph a single dog.

In order not to highjack my own blog with picture after picture of Cleo, I’ve set up a separate page for my favorite shots of her. But that page is about to change.

I’ve found a cool new application called Jalbum. I’ll be using that to create a java page of all my favorite Cleo pics. It should be up shortly. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I had creating it.

(Note: I just learned one interesting tidbit about jalbum. Don’t try to share it with MySpace. It appears to be a violation of their TOS. Thankfully I was notified before I allowed it so I didn’t get my account closed.)

I’m finally proud to be an American

Perhaps Michelle Obama should reconsider her comment in light of this:

Our President

I can’t decide if Boy George is making a gang sign (the D.C. “Old rich white guys who get away with everything” gang) or indicating his IQ (3 fingers and a zero=30).  I also wonder if Chinese beer is more potent than our domestic varieties.

He should ask the Pope to teach him how to do this.  He’s halfway there.

I can see you sinning

I wish I were a horticulturist

Then I might know what these plant are. Check out my Flickr set and let me know if you can help me identify these two little fellows.

Both were given to me about 5 years ago.  Every Winter they drop their leaves and hibernate.  Every spring they put out new leaves.  One has leaves that remind me of a tree, while the other has thick leaves reminiscent of a succulent.

Jeber loves LOLcatz

You can now order a book of the original LOLcat cartoons from the original artist.
