Hey, that's MY picture!

Look what I found on I Can Has Cheezburger just now: My "black cat crossing path" photo, now wiff kapshun.

So I sent them this e-mail:

Hi!

This is my photograph. I did let a student use it for a collage, 
and I guess somebody found it and LOLCatted it (is LOLCat a 
verb? It is now). I'm OK with that, but I would be tickled if you 
credited me as the photographer. Thanks!

Keera Ann Fox, Norway

Stay tuned! Whoo, got a reply already!

Thx so much for letting us know!

We have updated the picture with your name as the photographer.  
Sorry about the missing credit and great picture!

So now the credit reads: Keera Ann F. That's a new one for me. :-)

Very good! I bet you feel like I did, the day that Ms. B made Cute Overload (Oct 29, 2006, I believe).

:)

I like the caption, too...

I saw that last night, before reading this post, and thought "That's a neat photo." Funny that it turns out to be yours. :-)

Thanks, all! This is definitely in the Tickle department!

Nicole, the second link ("wiff kapshun") goes straight to the photo in question.

Etter å ha kikka litt på den siden hvor det artige bildet ditt ligger, så konkluderer jeg med at det ikke bare er det norske språket som er i forfall... Måtte virkelig _tenke_ for å skjønne hva de prøvde å si der! :-/

Nei, ikke i forfall. Poenget er at det skal liksom være kattene som snakker, og katter kan jo ikke skrive og snakke som mennesker. Det er blitt et eget språk og internettfarsott av det hele.

I love you. Thank you.

Some time last month, I was listening to a new spiritual podcast, and the speaker said that we can all heal ourselves and each other by stating, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you." Apparently, this series of four short statements healed all the patients of a psychiatric facility, simply by being uttered by a doctor while he was looking at the patient files. I was intrigued. So I googled the phrase and discovered it comes from a Hawaiian spiritual ritual called ho'oponopono .* I found a blogpost that described this "cleaning" process. I found an online article claiming that you can heal the whole planet with ho'oponopono because everything that comes into your sphere of experience is your responsibility.** I searched Amazon for books describing ho'oponopono. I bought Mable Katz 's book "The Easiest Way" .*** And her title may not be an exaggeration. After reading her short book, I have replaced my usual rit...

The ho'oponopono adventure continues

Ever since I discovered the ho'oponopono practice of forgiveness and healing about 3 years ago , I have used it, pursued it, and experienced healings big and small. I have taught it to a few friends. To my delight, they have embraced it and discovered for themselves the instant peace that comes with cleaning (as using ho'oponopono is called; you are cleaning your subconscious of unhelpful beliefs). My friend Alice showed me this picture she took from her hotel window in London: Every morning, I started my day by looking out that window. ILY, ILY, ILY. It was a beautiful way to start the morning. Every day, I felt the embrace of the city and I'd like to think that the city felt my ILYs. We certainly had nothing but pleasant interactions with people (and in fact, a few times, we had people offer unsolicited help!). I responded to her with this: The ho'oponopono "trick" of repeating to yourself "I love you" when in a negative situation really...

Getting my beliefs challenged

I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...
