The Lost Catboy is on a Grand Adventure™ to explore the very large world around him. Small, thoughtful, and friendly to a fault, Catboy serves
as the site's founder, philosophical guide, and mascot.

This week, Adrian has begun the rather frantic process of trying to pack up his entire life and move cross-country. He is also trying to put together a few thoughts on Fanime, but his time is very limited right now. It is very sudden and very confusing. I think he is as surprised by it all as everyone else, but I will try to keep him on track. In the meantime, I am here to entertain you.
Originally I wanted to show you all how to make a nice dinner, but… it has not gone as planned. A wonderful artist named Barlee drew a picture of the ensuing chaos.

Hello everyone!
Adrian has unpacked from Fanime and is now immediately repacking for a short visit to Florida, land of humidity and alligators. Please join me in hoping that he is not eaten.
Also, we are conducting a small experiment with the moderation system. It should let new first-time comments in much faster than before. We do see all of the comments, even the ones held for moderation, so please do let us know if you have problems.
Thank you,
~Catboy

Doctors looking at the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey have discovered that millions of children are not getting enough sunshine. This is terrible! Sunshine is important to health, happiness, naptime, and all living things (except maybe chemotrophs, who don’t know what they’re missing). The article says that even fifteen or twenty minutes of sunshine a day is enough for health, so even in places like Seattle there should be plenty to go around.
We cannot even blame the economy, because sunshine is free!
This is a very large problem, in need of great consideration. I think it is too big for one small catboy to fix.
Still, that does not mean I cannot try, especially not if I can get some help from all of you. As an exercise in public health, I would like everyone to join me in a little bit of solar appreciation. The next time a day of sunshine comes to your area, please make for yourself a nice lunch. Of course this should be a lunch of healthy, nutritious food, but I think it is best to avoid “diet” food, because I would like this also to be an exercise in public happiness, and “diet” food is usually not very tasty.
Then, take this lunch outside, find a nice place to sit, and eat it. Bring your friends! Bring children if you have them, or just set a good example. Make sure that anyone you bring has made a lunch, too, or bring enough to share.
That is all, really. Take a small step in the right direction.
Always,
~Catboy

Hello everyone!
Traditionally, the computer running 1000Gears has lived in Adrian’s closet. Lately there have been some problems with this living arrangement, so we have moved the website to another computer, which does not live in Adrian’s closet, but does promise to be much more reliable. So far it looks like nothing was broken in the move. It is possible that we still have a few bugs scurrying around, though. If you notice one, please let us know. I will try to find it and hit it with a stick.
Thank you,
~Catboy

Adrian is going to Fanime tomorrow and will be there all weekend.
Track him down and say hello!
(Hint: He is usually sheathed up to the neck in black and wears a lot of leather. Also, he has kitty ears with purple fluff!)
Please do not dry-hump him without asking for permission first. It perturbs him.
