"I don't normally do this," he said, "but please vote for my kitty."
Pets make dust while these guys make vacuum cleaners, so as an amusing marketing ploy, they're running a contest in which you can vote on cute pet photos, with the winner receiving a vacuum cleaner. However, the grand prize is a sizeable donation to a pet shelter. We've entered our cat, Zephyra, mostly for the latter reason . . . we got her from a rescue shelter. Had that shelter not existed, her cerebellar hypoplasia would have meant a short life. It would be cool if we could support them – and even if we don't win (I never win anything!), it would be great for some shelter somewhere if people showed interest.
So . . . even though it means giving sign-up info to a vacuum-cleaner company, please take a moment and vote for Zephyra. It only takes a few seconds. Thank you!

I'm "verbose"? Imagine!

Don't change your clothes, don't fix your hair...just take a picture.
Post that picture with NO editing.

How could I turn that down? I believe that seeing more faces on the Internet would go a long way toward defusing all the rudeness caused by people forgetting that they're dealing with other people, not with machines. And I'm not really big on visual anonymity, either. So here goes:
This mostly tells me that I need to shave more, to avoid that Hugh Laurie look, and that taking pictures with a camera at arm's reach means your head will look really big. Cool.
