[WILT] Ginger kitties
Mr. Lee’s catcam is one of my opening tabs (I use it to remind myself about the wonder in seeing things from new perspectives) and browsing the site today, I read this:
Aha ! Thats the reason ! Beautiful cat lady…(*)
“An interesting note from Christophe Thill (France) opens speculations: The red-haired cat is not a lady. Red-haired cats are always males, just as “turtleshell” cats are always females. Both colors are linked to the sexual chromosomes (the X or Y). So you can have exceptions, but they’re very, very rare.
Barbara Zmiewski comments: It is correct that most orange cats are males, but 15% of orange cats are females. They just need an orange gene from both parents. A tortoiseshell female carries the orange gene as well. Both of my female cats are orange.”
Huh. Who knew! And I learned this all before I’d even had my first cup of coffee.

I was looking on Guy’s blog for an old link and I came across this lol-worthy photo illustration which originated during SXSWi this year:

Farmer’s Market at Mockingbird Station
How we spent Earth Day:
After the farmers’ market at Mockingbird Station, we went to the library and ate dinner at the Spiral Diner, a vegan cafe. It was so great to have so many menu options, and also to not have to worry about what’s being used to prepare food. I also did a series of posts over on DIY Gems on how to make your life a little greener, along with crafts, tips and tutorials.
All in all, a great day!

Kaede writes a monthly column in the Japanese creative magazine “Brain” and this month’s column is all about ARGs! I and a few other players (@jasper_su, @cubicgarden, Roberta Romero and @redbanshee) were contacted about using our photos, and they sent me a copy in return. My photos appear on the second page of the article (the third photo linked above.)
It’s really exciting to see my stuff in print! I love it when people contact me through Flickr to use my photos for projects like this. I’ve got another photo that will be in an upcoming insert in the Guardian, about summer sports, and that was all arranged through Flickr as well.
