Wire Your Cat!
Kyle Geddes writes in with another great example of how technology is making our lives better. Kyle writes "The city of Los Angeles wants to help find Fido by implanting a microchip under its skin. It will do the same thing for your cat. In a city housing the world's best-known pet cemetery, the council added a new service for animal lovers Wednesday. The council approved a pilot scheme to implant tiny identification microchips to be placed between the shoulders of a cat or dog adopted from one of the city's pet shelters. The city will recover the cost of the chips by raising shelter adoption fees from $74 to $89 for dogs and from $50 to $65 for cats. See InfoBeat for the full story." Now if I only could get those things implanted in people I don't like so I can figure out where I don't want to be.

Microsoft and CGI
Another place where Microsoft seems to have money invested is MainFrame Entertainment. This is the Canadian Computer Animation joint responsible for Transformers and of course Reboot. Since we mentioned the Linux Titanic and Super Bowl Commercial stuff that Digital Domain has been doing, Dan Wood figured we should see this too. Thanks.
