If all goes well, Friday will be launching another project on Monday…

• 17 cats who are definitely plotting your death.

Friday cannot wait until Wednesday…

• Big cats love their pumpkins.
• Literary jack o’lanterns.
• Dog snapchats.
• Inhale, exhale. I’ve worked with my son a bit, trying to teach him to use his breathing to calm himself. And if I’m honest, it’s something I need to remember to do at times as well. These are some nifty animations from Nathan Pyle that might help.

Friday would like to remind you all to back up your important data!

• Anne Geier’s portraits of dogs in autumn leaves
• Pics for International Sloth Day (yesterday)
• Drone-powered Dementor. I want one!

Friday does not recommend trying to put your cats in Halloween costumes. Cats have too many pointy bits.

• Cat Halloween Costumes

Friday has a new, working computer! Yay!!!

• LEGO model of the new Star Wars Carrot-class X-Wing

Friday has a cold and would like to go back to sleep now please.

• Cats can sleep anywhere.
• Photos from the 2016 World Nomad Games in Kyrgyzstan.
• Puffy birds.
• Dogs lifting one ear. I think this is the canine equivalent of Spock raising one eyebrow.
