An Animated Quarter Century

Not That Mike The Other Mike — Tue, 22 May 2012 16:18:29 +0000

According to Kotaku, May 21 was the 25th birthday of the animated GIF, those grainy silent loops that turn your computer into a 100-year-old penny arcade. And what better way to celebrate than with some loopy animal hijinks?

You can’t tell the difference between this puppet, this kitteh and a Totoro Dust Ball.

OK, the pup has a collar. But if the dust ball had a collar, you couldn’t tell.

Dust Balls! Now available without collars at Skankazon! Kitten dust ball courtesy of Ant over at AQFL.net.

Bears Repeating

Time for some cute nightmare fuel, in the form of this animation from artist and composer Cyriak, which looks like the result of a nuclear meltdown at Build-A-Bear.

Double Your Simon, Double Your Fun

Apparently, Simon’s cat’s owner (who coincidentally is also named Simon) must be a glutton for punishment, because he’s just gotten a mini-Simon, and the pair proceed to doppelgäng-up on his nice clean home.

Spotted by Theresa. Thanks!

Play Him Off, Keyboard Cats!

Actually, if you squint a little, this looks sort of like the Tom Hanks/Robert Loggia keyboard-dancing sequence from the movie “Big.”

I Am Stuck on Band-Aids…

Not That Mike The Other Mike — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 13:39:28 +0000

… because Band-Aids can be turned into cute animal finger puppets, with teensy little earses! (Gee, now I want to hit my finger with a hammer so I can try this.)

Says Lisa C.: “Today I learned that those H-shaped Band-Aids are to put on your fingertips…and they look like Scottish fold kitty ears!”

Sneak-a-peek at Future Theo

Sparkster — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:04:36 +0000

We’ve been running the Cute Overload Supercomputing Center’s “Super Cuteputer”, based in Japan (natch), overload in an attempt to visualize Theo in his new life. Normally, dedicated 24/7 to finding the scientifically cutest content in the universe, we’ve reallocated 1,075 Snorgaflops to creating this rendering of Theo in his new job.

As you can see, there was a major problem. The computer mistakenly rendered Theo in a Private’s uniform, when he’ll actually be a Specialist.

Photo credit (we think) goes to SugarBush Squirrel, who is all kinds of patriotic.
