Photographer Catches His Dog Sneaking Furtive Peeks at His Food With a Hidden Camera

by Lori Dorn at 7:49 pm on March 5, 2016

Photographer Tony Jones used a hidden camera in order to capture his dog Revy in the act of sneaking furtive peeks at his food, then hilariously turning away whenever Jones looked back at him. According to Jones, this has been going on for a long time.

My dog likes to look at me while I eat, until I catch him and he looks away. Too cute. Has done it for years.

A beautiful Norwegian Forest cat named Naya repeatedly jumped up and down at the back door, peaking her head above the glass in order to invite her humans to come outside and play in the snow with her. Naya really loves the outdoors and attention from her humans, so this adorable behavior shouldn’t surprise anyone.

An Ingeniously Simple Sifting Litter Box That Takes the Effort Out of a Very Unpleasant Chore

The Luuup is an ingeniously constructed litter box that makes an incredibly unpleasant and odiferous task much more pleasant with an ingeniously simple system created with three sifting trays that stack together.

We understand that cat litter boxes are ugly and unpleasant to deal with but are a necessary and important household item. It was our mission to change all that with Luuup. …Our system is uses three identical sifting trays. When any two are stacked together, they form a solid base. Add the third tray, and you create a perpetual sifting Luuup. To clean the litter box, just lift the top tray and the waste is separated from the clean litter. …With Luuup, we wanted something that was actually pleasing to look at; a litter box design that we are happy to have in our home. It’s functional and maintains a simplicity of design that ensures years of reliable use.

The Luuup Litter Box is currently setting all sorts of records on Kickstarter, raising over 900% of their initial goal.

NYC Coffee Cups

Gear Patrol takes a look at the various types of disposable coffee cup designs found in New York City.

By and large, New York City is not the place where people “stay” for coffee. They drink it in transit, in subway cars and yellow cabs; and even when stationed at their office desks, New Yorkers are partial to the disposable cup.

I’m currently working out of Fools Gold in the Lower East Side they are playing the Dead Kennedys cover of “Viva Las Vegas” by Elvis Presley, from their debut album Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables.

Aside from playing wonderful punk covers, Fools Gold has amazing rotating taps of great craft beer, whiskey on tap, excellent cocktails and really good food. Check them out if you find yourself in the area.

The Prolific Amount of Creativity That Comes From Trying to Get Past a Creative Block

The latest animated episode of “The Science of Us” by New York Magazine explores how a creative block can lead to a prolific amount of creativity that would not otherwise exist, particularly when one loves the work itself.

It seems that those who are harmoniously passionate about their creative work are more likely to achieve the high goals they’ve set for themselves. You do it because you love it, and the accomplishments come along almost as a by-product of your love for the work. Even more important, research has also shown that “when we feel our work is both emotionally interesting and personally meaningful, accomplishing a task is significantly less mentally taxing.”
