Catherine has been nice enough to lend me her car for my trip down to Charlottesville to see my mom (for Christmas 2: Son Of). Last night we picked it up and brought it here, into the land of two hour parking. So all day I've been playing hide and seek with the parking enforcement people.

But when I set out for my last trip, I found feathers — feathers! — all over our front door and stoop. I have no idea how they got there, and there's no bird in evidence. But I was immediately reminded of this, and thought I might as well link to it. If you, too, were once a young and cruel freshman with a high-speed internet connection, you've probably already seen it.

In other news, I think YouTube is pulling away from the other video Flickr wannabes. There's a creepy MySpace-ish undercurrent going on there, but there's no denying that their tech is fairly slick.
