Just because, here are some photos of dusty. He just got a bath and haircut and he's all golden and majestic, like a sphinx. It's simply the best when he's at the studio:

Work proceeds on the Nucleus secret-weapon... lot's of progress last week. Went to a gallery show at the Cartoon Network - there was an awesome Zelda piece, and some crackers and cheese. Saw Ratatouille - technically it was really good, and I laughed my ass off - but we've been debating the value of the story around here. The underlying motivations for the characters are pretty complex, and I think ultimately it is a subjective interpretation of whether or not this is all good or bad. It has it's merits and it's weak points, but personally I thought it was very strong and overall one of the better Pixar films. I'm excited to see Live Free or Die Hard, Transformers, and a few others I'm forgetting right now.

We might head up to SB to do some kayaking for the fourth, that would be awesomeness.
