I have recently finished watching just about every animation film produced by Studio Ghibli and, as expected, I enjoyed every second of them (thanks again to miahi for the tips).

Not only did they have a captivating story, they also enticed me with the way they were drawn – every colour, every detail, every combination of static and dynamic imagery. And, somehow, a few of them reminded me of the magnificent world of Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura, the RPG that I can no doubt call my favourite game of all times, with the same intriguing combination of emerging technology and powerful yet hidden magic.

Following the same idea from my previous In My Pocket post, today I’ve bumped into another kind of cute pet replicas of sorts.

Perfect PetZzz sells some pretty toy dogs and cats that look quite realistic and even breathe (thanks to a battery, of course).

You Are 91% Feminist

You are a total feminist. This doesn’t mean you’re a man hater (in fact, you may be a man). You just think that men and women should be treated equally. It’s a simple idea but somehow complicated for the world to put into action.

You Are 73% Non Conformist

You are a pretty serious non conformist. You live a life hardly anyone understands. And while some may call you a freak, you’re happy with who you are.

A few days ago, Mom told me she had seen a certain tiny USB memory stick and that she wanted one just like that. Okay, I said, and started looking for the smallest ones that I knew, showing them to her so she could tell me if anyone matched.

None of them did. Until we found this thingie. It’s a Pretec i-Disk Diamond 21.0mm long, 11.9mm wide, 1.9 mm thick and weighing only 1g. A definite wow, of course. I immediately looked for a local reseller and ordered one, even if the maximum capacity I could find was 256MB (I reckon that should suffice, for the time being).

So, right now, I’m holding a little jewel in my hands. It’s extremely small, although some might argue that losing it gets easier once size decreases; but what the hell, I’ve always been a fan of miniatures of every kind. I totally love the tiny strap and the little protective cover it has, but the one thing that has really taken me aback was the earring support that comes along.

Needless to say, even if initially I wanted to buy it for Mom, I am definitely going to keep it for myself.

I couldn’t help presenting this one, it’s a natural-born cutie.

Sooo… meet the “translated” Foxkeh, the blog featuring the Firefox mascot made by the Japanese fans out there.

Last September Foxkeh was born and we collected ideas for his name from over 7,000 community members. He was named Foxkeh after FIREFOX and SUKE, the suffix of common boys’ name in Japan.

In the Downloads section, you’ll be able to find neat illustration of the history of Firefox, wallpapers and other lovely images with Foxkeh.
