[In Transit]Like any self-respecting Geek's-Girlfriend, I now have my own domain.
Pour les chanceux qui sont pas pognés avec un chum geek, ça veut dire que www.cinnamonchrome.com is now mine and I can do whatever I want with it.
So I will be moving my blog there, of course, in a new and improved format, with pictures and music and all the cool bells and whistles reserved for priviledged-geeks only.

[Might as well make a joke or two]Sad day, Friday the 3rd, Giselle passed away after 14 years.
It reminded me of
Life Gems (they now make diamonds from your pets too - But just dogs and cats, please. Birds, hamsters and fish "don't have enough carbon to make a jewel,") and I thought hey... that's already creepy enough, let's see what else is out there.
So it happened that I found I could have gotten
- A
Giselle-ash-locket for $470US, to keep her ashes close to my heart
- A
Giselle-Crystal-Ball, Hand-blown from the pet ashes you send them.
From $280US
- A
Giselle-Pillow - A 29 yr old taxidermist from Nevada thought that it would be a "great way to enjoy your cherished pet", charging $65 (£34) to transform a dead cat, $75-$125 for a dog, depending on size, and $150 for a horse.
"Most people were happy that Fluffy was still on the couch", although she has been receiving numerous death threats.
Apparently, this is not her only unique idea, she also came up with deer testicles mounted on a plaque for $125.
-
Giselle-Mittens for $45US - SERVICES: Custom, hand spinning of dog hair into dog yarn, cat hair, rabbit fur, goat hair, alpaca fleeces, llama fleeces, and other exotic fibers. Knitting service.
- or a
Dream Catcher"Pets protect our homes and families, now let them protect your dreams! Each dream catcher is hand crafted from yarn spun of 100% your pet's fur.
In the web are two little paw prints, to show your pet where to stand guard against bad dreams. Also, each web contains a little bone (for dogs) or a little fish (for cats) to reward them for their evening duty!"
Also to come in the near futur,
memorial fireworks that contain the ashes of a beloved relative in the rocket tip. The idea is that the bereaved could bid farewell to the departed in a stunning explosion of color. The technology, however, has proven dicey. The trick is to make sure all the human ashes disintegrate in the sparkle rather than getting dusted over rooftops or onto the faces of those mourning. - Possible names for the funeral fireworks include "Golden Rain" and "Final Shot."
