KFK Dogs Puppy Cat Kitten Adult Cute Adorable

Bibs, I’ve realized that I haven’t been fair to you lately. That’s right, we all make mistakes and I’m a big enough person to admit when I was wrong. Can you ever forgive me? Oh, wait… you don’t know what I’m talking about? I’m referring to the sad lack of puppy/dog related posts. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been doing a lot of good work with cat stuff, but I need to step up my dog game.

As an apology please accept this massively cute and visually interesting time lapse video of a critter going from puppy to grown doggy in 45 seconds. *Sniff* They grow up so fast don’t they?

Best Downtime/Error Messages from Websites

KFK Internet FAIL Owl Puppy Cute Cat Robot Bird Baby Alien

Bibs, you know what I hate? What? No, not puppies! Are you kidding right now? It’s like you don’t even know me at all. I love puppies SO much. In fact, this one time I had a really bad cold, you know with the sneezing and the coughing and congestion and all that, and a really cute puppy came to visit me and then I didn’t have the cold anymore. True story. Whatever, I didn’t expect you to believe me anyway.

But I digress, what I really hate is when the internets aren’t working. How am I supposed to browse for cool pics and vids (read: kitties and puppies) if the internet is down? And what’s worse than that are those cold, impersonal, boring error message pages you get sent to that do little to assuage the murderous rage growing inside you due to lack of internet access. Happens to everyone, right?

Well luckily there are plenty of sites out there that understand the inconvenience of downtime on the internet and they’ve decided to have some fun with their error pages. After the jump find some of the best examples of these pages.

The word Blackboard is synonymous with technology and collaboration. Whether you’re a student or educator, chances are Blackboard has had a positive impact on your educational experience.

As technology expands and we are seeing rapid innovation in distance learning and mobility, Blackboard is no exception. Blackboard Mobile™ Learn takes teaching and learning mobile, giving students and educators access to their courses, content and organizations across a variety of device platforms – Android, Blackberry, Palm, and iOS.

Coming only six months after the initial launch, Blackboard Mobile Learn 2.0 has a newly redesigned interface for threaded, hierarchical discussions and the ability to mark courses as “favorites” to more easily sort and manage classes. Taking mobile learning one step further, Blackboard Mobile Learn is now extending beyond Blackboard Learn, utilizing mobile device capabilities to allow students and professors to create and upload content to their courses, including video and photos.

Cat vs.

Posted by kerry-kitka Tuesday, May 10, 2011
KFK Cats Stuck Cute Funny Vs. Dignity Fat Evil

Ah cats. What can I say Bibs? They’re a versatile source of entertainment. They can look cute. They can talk in funny slang. They can even get trapped inside of things that they have no business being inside of in the first place.

But to quote the late, great George Carlin, “Cats don’t accept responsibility.” Too true George, too true. Cats act upon even the slightest of whims without regard to the consequences. Is it their over-developed sense of curiosity, or just an inherent lack of giving a crap?

While you ponder that, puzzle this: Cats also like to fight things. They’ll fight just about anything even if they don’t have the slightest chance of victory. No responsibility. Carefree. Cats just wanna start some stuff. They’re pretty gangster like that.

After the jump find some of the most epic cat vs. other stuff fights you’ll ever see

Dogs, KFK Cats Ironic Cute Foodie Mainstream Bacon Hipster Monday

Happy Monday Bibs! Eh, not so much huh? I get that. But look at the upside, Finals are here… I’m making it worse aren’t I?

Fair enough. Tell you what, why don’t you all gather ‘round and I’ll tell you a bit about myself. As you may well have already surmised, I enjoy the odd post about cats, dogs and other cute things. But y’know, only once and a while. Not like, all the time or anything. You’re judging me with your eyes right now. I can feel it. I can feel it, and it burns.

Anywho… what you probably don’t know is that I’m also a huge foodie. True fact. But not just any kind of foodie, mind you. I like to go against the mainstream. A foodie hipster if you will. I wear bacon glasses with no lenses. To go along with my transparent attempt at seeming ironic, I dine exclusively at the following eateries. Because non-ironic food is so 2010.

Unlikely Animal Friends

Dogs, Wolf, KFK Cats Cheetah Snake Cute Adorable Justin Bieber Chimp Friends Polar Bear Besties

Bibs, I’m not going to lie to you; I may have an unhealthy obsession with adorable pets. Call it a character flaw if you will, advise me to take up HR on their offer for counseling on the matter, whatever. The point is, pets rock. They do cool stuff and they look darn good doing it.

But you know what’s even better than adorable pets? What? No, not Justin Bieber. What’s wrong with you? I’m talking about the magic that happens when two very different types of animals form a beautiful bond of friendship. A connection that bridges that vast expanse that normally separates and makes enemies out of these fuzzy creatures. It’s the kind of heartwarming… Huh? Too much cheese? Ok, ok.

After the jump find some great pics and a vid of animals putting aside their differences
