Outdoor Weatherproof
What is a good outdoor weatherproof [feral] cat house?
Should I buy one or just make my own with some wood or something? A feral cat eating at my house is going to have her kittens soon, but it's damp and rainy and cold and I want her & the litter to be comfortable...
We did up a few out of those knee high plastic snap top tubs you can get cheap at the hardware stores or Target. Use a saws all or tin snips to cut a hole in the narrow end about 10" wide - in the center, so snow won't go in when it piels up. Put newspaper down in the bottom, and then fit a box inside the plastic tub, cut a hole in that which matches the hole in the tub itself (you're making an insulated double layer this way) and stuff folded newspapers around the three sides that don't have the hole in them. Then we got some foam rubber and put that in the bottom of the box, that was about 2" thick, it reflects heat back for the cat. On top of that we folded two old towels and then snapped the top back on. Put it outside facing AWAY from the wind so snow and rain doesn't go into the hole. It helps to position it under bushes so the cat feels protected. They do need to look out to see if danger approaches, don't face the hole towards a wall of the house or garage or they won't use it.
This works well here, we'd have a cat in there in bad weather. It was large enough for them to turn around in and cuddle up in the back, and the hole was big enough for them to get in and out without stress. The plastic tub was almost knee high and two feet long, I think it cost us $5. The hardest part about the whole thing was cutting the hole in the side, it's very resistent plastic. But it works great. Make sure to find a cardboard box that fills the inside as much as possible, you need it for the insulated sides, it keeps heat in the box better than not having the cardboard and newspapers in there at all.

The year 2009 is almost upon us. In just a handful of days, we would be entering the dawn of a new year, with fresh and exciting things to look forward to. In terms of printer technology, what would this New Year bring to us? Can we expect something great when it comes to new printer technology for 2009?
HP's New Year Announcements
Hewlett-Packard has always been known for bringing innovative printer technology into the market. For the year 2009, the company has these two things to offer: the Inkjet Web Press Machine and Latex Ink.
The Inkjet Web Press Machine would be Hewlett-Packard's new solution for publishing companies that are looking to go digital in 2009. This machine is supposed to replace the traditional offset printing machine. With many publishing companies – around 10% of the industry today – seeking to switch to digital in an effort to improve productivity and become more environment friendly, it is expected that the Inkjet Web Press Machine would be a hit in the publishing industry.
On the other hand, Latex Ink is a type of printer ink wherein latex polymers have been mixed. It is an printer ink specifically designed to make printouts for outdoor usage more durable and weatherproof, but definitely without sacrificing color. The Latex Ink of Hewlett Packard is supposed to make billboards and other outdoor media last for three or so years.
Je Trix Printer Head
Another development in printer technology that is supposed to come into fruition this coming 2009 are the Je Trix printer head. Printer heads as we know them today are small and move quickly across paper to spread ink on it and create the printed image. In order to address the need to speed up the printing process, the Je Trix printer head came to be.
What makes it different from normal printer heads is that the Je Trix printer head has the same width as the paper. The expected printouts per minute on printers fitted with the Je Trix printer head would reach approximately 1000 sheets.
Printing on Toasted Bread?
For those who like a bit of art on their food, an innovative printer technology will be introduced by Zuse in 2009. That is none other than a printing toaster. This gadget would be able to create pictures on toasted bread, using stock memory with an expected capacity of around 50 images.
The MemJet Printer
The new printer technology that was expected to come out in 2008 but disappointed techno-observers who have been anxiously waiting for it is rumored to surface finally in 2009. This would be Silverbrook's MemJet printers.
The reason why MemJet was not released this year was that components were only shipped to printer manufacturers in the last few months of 2008. The anxiety that surrounds MemJet is due to the fact that it promises printout speeds of up to 360 per minute. Hopefully, this new printer technology represented by MemJet would be out next year.
