I’ve just realized that I completely forgot to write about the Progress‘ article about a local blog a couple of days ago. John Yellig had a nice piece about ScamperDude, John Dove’s cat-fostering blog. The blog regularly features ridiculously cute pictures of tiny kittens and exhortations to foster one of the little guys until they can find a home. It’s a great idea for a blog — generally awareness-raising blogs aren’t read by the very people among whom they’re trying to raise awareness, but who can pass up daily pictures of those little fuzzballs?

- Downtown tarot card reader Ed Rowe passed away on NYE; a memorial service will be held Wed. 01/07 from 5-8PM at Twisted Branch. #
- The DP illustrates a 30% drop in UVa's endowment with a graph that gets 58% smaller. Not a lot of statisticians go into the news biz, I guess. #
- There's an E85 station in Albemarle now. #
- Urban Outfitters to open up in the old Hardware Store. Ugh. The very worst of Old Town Alexandria, right here in C'ville. #
- Wistar and Darren's spider on frog on turtle photo keeps getting more famous. #
- Trish took some photos of an albino deer, or perhaps a piebald deer. In either case, it's an awfully rare thing and, incidentally, perfectly legal to hunt in VA. #
- David Maurer provides the address of some of the best Christmas lights around town, and I mapped them. In a nutshell, it's all about Meade, Holmes, and Agnese. Update: The DP mapped them, too. #
- Google Maps now provides CTS routes, complete with fare prices and scheduling. This is so cool! #
- The Downtown Mall overhaul might come in under budget, thanks to the lousy economy. #
- DMB is playing the JPJ in April. #
