I have that TI calculator. :D



Stop it right now! This calculator (that I've had for 11 years now) is on my list of favorite things. :$

I'm going to take a photo just so there's no question I'm very serious. :|:D



Krisanne, his "Zoe'" looks like my Sabre. But, we have a Zoe', too. B|

"Corporal cuddling." :D:D:D That is SO what I do. HEElarious! I don't think I've ever "punished" any other way. :$

I'm still laughing at "corporal cuddling". I thought I invented that. :P Seriously, I found Sabre dangling from a very nice, very favorite, hand-woven sweater in my closet...



He looked so cute. :D His little claw was stuck. :( I felt awful for not trimming it earlier. I scooped him up and gave him bunches of kisses--while in-between telling him he was a very bad kitty.

I think he learned his lesson.

It is amazing, and embarrassing, how accurately that society depicts engineers. Even when being humorous, they are dorks.

However, a man with 3 cats has already reconciled himself to a life of singlehood.

My one question was the last line on the video, "Unauthorized reproduction is encouraged".
Should cats be encouraged to do that?
They have a plethora of free time, let's not promote that.

Oh man, that calc is so early 90s. I guess retro nerd is all the rage these days. I had one in college B| Funny 'nuff, after college, I interviewed with the company in Portland that made the cases for it - lol.

Edit - I am referring to the TI 28S on the right.
Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD

i too have considered the aspect ratio of my cats. It's part of my service to them...



I've considered my cat's gravitational pull. He's huge.

I was discussing the Simpsons "Spider Pig" episode with a friend and she said she did that with her cat all the time.
:S

She has 3 cats. The large male lets her hold him on his back and walk him along the roof in the kitchen.

I'm betting there is kittie treats in the kitchen cabinet.
:D

Not true, I may be a dork sometimes, but not all the time. Usually I get described as being funny and not dorky...

Oh and my calculator is a TI Voyage 200... If I could I would marry it. BEST calculator ever:P

So what type of gear do you think you would be jumping if not for engineers? B|

My first aerospace adventure was designed by my sisters. A small wooden box with wooden wings nailed on.

It was about to be pulled off the garage roof with a rope by my sisters, until the woman next door intervened. (I sometimes question their affection for me during our earlier years ;)).

My favorite was the "cat yodeling"



Me too. It reminds me of my own cat who used to spot me coming home and would trot down the street towards me with this long miaow. Because she was running it had the same kind of effect on her voice. Always made me laugh so much.

Unfortunately she had to be put to sleep just last week. :(

But when I remember her, that's the thing that will always make me smile the most.
