The GeoCities cat

 

 

In the heydays of the web hosting service GeoCities (1990s-2000s), this little critter, a simple tabby cat chasing an insect, was a staple GIF on many of its sites. Sadly the sleepy and active kitty never made the jump to Web 2.0, but is an important footnote in the history of the GIF as a decoration piece.

Just become an uncle again!

 

This morning I got some very good news. My younger brother and his wife are now the proud parents of a cute little baby girl. She was born in Barking earlier today, around 8.30 am. Both mother and baby are doing fine. I cannot tell you how thrilled I am!
