The dog park over winter has no operating water fountains, so we either have to bring in water or find it. Willow prefers to find it. Granted, she was really hot (and thirsty) after our first round of frisbee. School is just about over (minus one final) so I’ve been working from home for the past couple days. The result is that my dog obsession is peaking again.

I wrote about Predictify a while back. It’s basically a website that pays users for predicting world events. When I first wrote about them, I presented the sample question: “How long will Michael Vick’s sentence be?” Well, the verdict came down and my prediction was very close. I predicted 24 months and the dirty bastard got 23. Total payout for me: $6.07. Not bad for 30 seconds effort.
The site appears to be doing well. Currently, there are 24 open polls with large cash payout potential. I was pretty skeptical it would succeed (and that still has yet to play out fully), but it would seem that the guys who predicted its success are going to be looking at nice payouts of their own.
To my dog Daedalus, comfort is being close to Master. He often forsakes comfortable beds for our laps. He crawled up on the chair today while I was on the computer and plopped down.
Because resting his head on a laptop is more comfortable than his plush doggy bed. This position got annoying for me very quickly, so I moved him to the other chair and made him a little bed.
