Mimi is back! This time with duo picture of the Juno 60 vs Juno 106. Submitted by Eric Pochesci of polynominal.com.
As for the dichotomy, I would personally opt for the Juno 106.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: Under the Glass
We’re in the midst of a heatwave in San Francisco, and CatSynth HQ gets exceptionally warm on these days. It’s on warm sunny days like this that Luna is especially of fond of napping underneath glass tables.
It’s been nice featuring Luna three times in the past week on the blog, but hopefully I will have some time for other posts as well, including getting through the backlog of music and art reviews from the past month or so.
Carnival of the Cats will be coming to Pet’s Garden Blog this Sunday.

Weekend Cat Blogging with Luna: The camera that you have
It’s always about the camera that one has on hand, especially with cat portraits that are in the moment. When Luna jumped on my lap for some affection the other day, the only camera I had was the iPad.
It is lower resolution and optics compared to the iPhone or my DSLR, but pointed correctly it still captures Luna’s features and essence.
This morning, I happened to have the DSLR on hand, and Luna was quite well posed. So it was time for an impromptu photo shoot.
The photos were a good reminder of what the good camera and lenses can do and the “iThingies” cannot. Here, one can control the optics to get a particularly rich and detailed portrait. Of course, it helps that Luna cooperated by staying relatively still, only moving her head into different poses like a professional model.
The Carnival of the Cats will be up this Sunday at Life from a Cat’s Perspective.
And the Friday Ark is at the modulator.

Sometimes we feature cats with instruments that are more analog than analog.

Quite a few of those modules look familiar.
CatSynth pic: Brian Eno Purina ad
Yes, Brian Eno and his cat starred in a Purina cat-food ad (presumably from the 1970s). Reported by Xeni Jardin on Boing Boing, and submitted to us by reader Karen Martakos via our Facebook page.
