		<description><![CDATA[Ernie Monstrocat has gone, and my heart is breaking more than a little bit.

For those of you who read about Ernie, here or on Brenda Griffith's blog, you know he was a special, special cat. He came to me almost by accident, as a foster kitty, and turned out to be a social maven of monumental proportions. (As well as a digital jinx.)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, folks; I&#8217;m in the process of updating my enormous casting resources page and I need your help. I&#8217;m adding new categories such as adhesives &#38; sealants, coldworking and casting instruction (and I mean REAL, intensive glass casting classes). I&#8217;m also checking old listings and making sure they work. At some point (soon, I hope) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Izzy the 'Pad is the first computing device I've ever slept with.

Literally. I hate to say it, but she's pretty much changed the way I do stuff. That red leather thing growing out of my left arm? That's Izzy, in her snazzy red case. Apple's made an excellent chameleon out of the iPad 2; find the right app(s), download them for a nominal fee, and Izzy changes roles in a heartbeat.

So...let's start with business, i.e., USEFUL iPad apps. These are my favorites right now, not necessarily in order of importance, and they're all available in the iPad App Store.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, I'm beginning to look like a doting mamma with home videos, but...I kept finding towels on the floor in the guest bath. Wasn't difficult to figure out who was doing it--not with The Princess Lola and Nikki the Tikkimaus around--but all the other towel racks in the house were safe from their depredations.

So I hung the towel back on the rack, grabbed Izzy the 'Pad (that iMovie feature is really killer), and settled into the bathtub to wait. It didn't take long:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strolling the Pearl (a favorite occupation I hardly ever get to do these days), I spied a big cast glass sculpture in the window and stopped in to see who made it.

"He's from Israel, really talented artist," said the clerk.

"Ahh...and that one?" I pointed to  a big blown dinosaur-like piece, reminiscent of Tagliapietra.

"Celotto, from Italy."

Hmmm. "How about that one?" and I indicated a series of flat, fused (ooops, sorry, Lani) kilnformed panels on the usual powder-coated steel stands.

Swedish.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Savannah kittens make wonderful housemates...if you stay two steps ahead of their inventive little minds. Give them enough "legal" stuff to do, the theory goes, and they won't edit your art collection (i.e., break stuff).

I gave them a "highly difficult" puzzle, guaranteed to keep dogs occupied for weeks, with small wooden cups that move along a track. The animal is supposed to slide the cups until they can be upended, to reveal treat. The kittens liberated all the treats in about 15 minutes and then, bored, headed for the bathroom to play toilet bowl jacuzzi (they LIKE water).

So I made them a cat gym.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you mix frit colors--as all pate de verre and frit painting artists do with abandon--you quickly learn about reactivity between colored glasses. Try warming up the chill BE Salmon Pink with a little BE Medium Amber, and the resulting sludgy grey-brown will stick in your mind forever.

Or so I thought. At a beginning casting workshop recently, one of my students complained that it was tough to simply remember what reacted with which. Or worse, when they combined glasses from two manufacturers, they couldn't find any reactivity info at all, which apparently resulted in some unpleasant surprises.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Technically, it's not a q-tip, it's a buccal swab, and it just played Mr. Toothbrush against the inside of my cheek for a very good reason.

I just joined the National Marrow Registry. You might want to think about doing that yourself.

I registered years ago, before they took this show online. I was never called upon--guess I'm a rare beast who never matched anyone else's DNA--but I'm re-upping now, for a very good reason.]]></description>
