Kat from Safety Goat is a London-based designer, she sent us a really awesome little silicon moulded goat, equipped with safety vest. I’ve yet to meet Kat (@kassy4), but she’s a fellow Ottawa-ian (as she says), which is rare in the UK. Plus, anyone who creates wacky little creatures and hand-paints them has just got [...]

Ottawa New Year 2008, originally uploaded by Seamus @ Flickr. Last night, we braved the crowds at the Museum of Civilizations in Hull so that we could see the beautiful fireworks.

With the exception of intro scenes, which could do with some basic anti-aliasing. Best bit? That little blue hand that moves around the screen, definitely!

I promised everyone photos as soon as the kittens get home. I expected to have to stick the camera in the cat box, where they’d be hiding all nervous about their new home. Rubbish!
