javascript, box castles, and polish movie posters

 lou grappling with advanced technology

    most of the time preparing this blog was trying to make a little app for the blog that is a sliding tile game of lou's face. we scoured the internet for a script that lets you put in your own picture but it was not to be found.
    So we dug into the code of an existing game and borrowed code liberally and tried to fill in the rest. This seemed like cake because, as we all know, lou is a crackerjack programmer who speaks html and javascript as well as ruby, php, ajax, bash-shell, objective-c, python, perl, fortran, lisp, and cat++. We came very close but there is some little thing that is keeping it from compiling like a missing semicolon or something so it is still incomplete,
    but as soon as we finish it, you dear readers, will be the first to know.

here's what it looks like:

 

finished it's supposed to look like this:

but it doesn't...yet!



here are some sweet cat houses I found on x-tremegeek.com.

they are almost as good as the one we made from the boxes I used to move to this apartment:

stay tuned for a brand new cardboard box castle, as we are moving in august to a fly new apartment with our boy Beans.

I dont know why we chose this picture, probably because its sweet.

We're going to buy this poster for our house:

    it's a poster (in polish) for the play (that I've seen) of the book (my favorite book) Mikhail Bulkagov's "the master and margarita". In case you didn't know, Polish film, theatre, and opera posters are strange and awesome. you should seriously check out:

The Polish Poster Shop It's pretty rad.

here are three other possibilities:

yellow submarine

don quixote

and the magic flute

pretty sweet.
