Links From You Crazy People

A few months ago, I told Gloria that within five years there would be rest homes for pets. She laughed. But when it comes to the obscure, useless, strange, and non-profitable, I am without peer. Thanks to DQ reader Nate Carpenter (he of four-word fame) for letting me know about "Palm Meow, Inc.--A Cats Only Exclusive Retirement Community."

Some very interesting effects could be delivered one day in driving and flying simulators, plus the potential to create altered environments in FPS games is intriguing as well. Here's the link:
