  • CatSynth: The App! for iOS 1.4.142 is released!

    CatSynth: The App

    CatSynth: The App! for iOS

    We’re happy to release the first major update for the iPhone/iPad version of CatSynth: The App!. 1.4.142 (yes, it’s the square root of 2) has the following new features and improvements:

    1. New Mystery Synth #3!
    2. Facebook or email login for comments, favorites and more.
    3. Numerous bug fixes and under-the-hood improvements

    It’s that last one that really took the longest: the under-the-hood improvements using a completely rebuilt backend. We might have more to say about the technology that went into it (it’s pretty cool from the point of view of a computer-science geek), but for now we simply ask that if you have an iPhone or iPad, please download and enjoy the new app.

    And yes, 1.4.142 for Android is coming soon, too!

  • Happy 10th Gotcha Day, Luna!

    It was exactly ten years ago, June 10, 2005, that I brought Luna home from the Santa Cruz County animal shelter. And so we are celebrating her 10th “Gotcha Day” (adoption anniversary) over the next few days in style. It began the evening before with a festive meal, complete with main course, treats, and a “cocktail.”

    Gotcha Day dinner

    The “cake” didn’t quite come out of the can perfectly, but as we can see that did not bother Luna at all. She devoured her special dinner with enthusiasm.

    It is hard to believe that 10 years have gone by, but it is hold hard to imagine life without my special little girl. We have been through a lot together – adventures and transitions – more than be documented on these pages.

    Here is her official photo from animal shelter, followed by a portrait from her first week at home.

    Baby Luna at home

    At the time, she was 7 months old. Still a baby in many ways. Over the years, I have watched her grow into a beautiful cat. Here are just a few photos, including one of the most recent.

    We are certainly looking forward to many more years and adventures together, wherever life leads us. Please join me in wishing Luna a Happy 10th Gotcha Day!

    That lemonade looks quite refreshing.
