iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Pretty sure those eyes are sending me “you had one job” guilting vibes.

Callie the Calico cat is sitting in a half-full transport box of fusilli pasta boxes looking straight at me with a clear suggestion that I didn’t unpack the box properly and that there should now be zero pasta boxes in the big box in order to facilitate the full pleasure of cat-in-boxing. One job, Dad. You had one job.

From the 2018 Liberty University poster presentation… digitalcommons.liberty.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Comparative microscopic hair analysis of samples from the Cone Head mummies and humans of varying ethnicities revealed very similar hair structure and characteristics associated with human hair. Following DNA extraction, amplification using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and separation of the amplified STR alleles (Genetic Analyzer 3500 and GlobalFilier Software) using capillary electrophoresis the results demonstrated allelic profiles or responses similar and consistent to those DNA profiles observed in humans. Moreover, no foreign DNA or unusual patterns/profiles were observed in any of the samples tested. Although these results need to be replicated and more analysis undertaken the data demonstrate that the Cone Head mummies (or the Paracas civilization) are humans and not an unknown hominid species or alien.

Tonight, Callie is patiently waiting in the wee foyer by the front door in vigilante anticipation of a spider that she saw once, a long time ago. The reality of a possible past doth deeply infuse her hope of an inevitable future. She believes in the generosity of Purrvidence. #catsofbluesky

2 years ago I was an orphan, abandoned by the side of the road with my 3 siblings. I was the noisy one. Nobody wanted me. Now I have a menagerie of humons to feed me, snuggle me, and proffer suitably oversized cardboard boxes from which I may survey the world.

Callie Kitten stands forthrightly and stares fearlessly into the camera during her first month of life. Callie is a beautiful Calico with white, ginger, and black splotches of fur. Callie’s nose is bright pink and very cute. Her head is way too big for her body, and her paws are worthy of a hobbit, but this will change.

Here Callie poses gracefully from within a sumptuous, oversized brown cardboard box. She is just chillin’, staring straight at the camera as any experienced photocat is won’t to do. Callie is almost 2 years old now.

Meanwhile, 👀, is this the only feminist text in the Star Wars canon? I discovered it while discussing the novelisations of Beauty and the Beast (TV) with my beloved.

New office! I am now available for ADHD Coaching from Monday to Saturday 10am-7pm in Market Street in central Bangor (and online). The Asda carpark is nearby, or the train station is across the road. Get in touch via phone: 028 91247950 or by email: info@anthonymccann.com or via anthonymccann.com

This is a picture of an open door leading to a staircase. The door is in Bangor, Northern Ireland. Climb the stairs and it will lead to my new office, where I see clients for ADHD and Burnout Coaching.

This is a picture of the office where I run my sessions. There are two grey armchairs in the middle of the room. There’s small rug between the chairs, with a flowery pattern on a light green background. The floor is wood laminate. There is a low white bookcase behind the chairs and a narrow window above the bookcase that looks out onto Main Street, Bangor.

This is a picture of the business signs on the outside of the building at ground level. My sign (Adult ADHD Coaching Services) is at the top. There are also signs for Neeson Chambers, Minnis and Bradley solicitors, and Lotus Massage and Wellness.

So, I was sitting in my office reading a deeply serious book when I heard a strange scratching noise in the drawers of my work desk. Bemused and befuddled and not a little scared I carefully opened a drawer …

Callie the Calico is squeezing herself out of a middle desk drawer, paw extended for stealthy ambush. Over the next 5 minutes Callie managed to crawl into each of the drawers. Thankfully the car insurance certificate she tore to threads was out of date.

And today Callie the Calico Cat is feeling a little shy, only a single paw venturing out into the world. #catlife #proofofcat #catsonbluesky

And today Callie the Calico Cat is feeling a little shy, only a single white paw venturing out into the world, sticking out from beneath a cardboard box on the kitchen floor, photo taken from above. The paw is both an extension of her agency and an invitation to play.

I think @heriotwattuni.bsky.social needs to be a little more careful about using AI to write their job announcements …

A supposed job announcement that is clearly a clumsy half-finished attempt to write a job advertisement with the help of something called AI Assist.

Intrepid Callie emerges from an exploration of the cardboard box, striding forward, confident that she is not some in-between cat, not a liminal moggy, but a material embeddedness of the manifold, both purrceived and purrceptive. #catlife #proofofcat #felinegood

Intrepid Callie the Calico cat-but-kitten emerges from an exploration of the white and battered cardboard box, striding forward, left paw extended, eyes to the camera, sheltered by the awning of the box lid, confident that she is not some in-between cat, not a liminal moggy, but a material embeddedness of the manifold, both purrceived and purrceptive. #catlife #proofofcat #felinegood

All that money we spent sending Callie to modelling school has really paid off. #catlife #proofofcat #Imfelinegood

Lovely Callie sits atop a guitar case with her head coyly tipped to one side while she confidently holds the camera’s attention. This serves to deflect her attention and your attention from intense anxieties about the world. This is how Callie purrsues her commitment to purrvant leadership.

And today lovely Callie is sporting a catwalk classic, an empty cat litter bag, as she considers the works of Audre Lorde in a time of political turmoil. #catlife #proofofcat

And today lovely Callie the young Calico cat from coastal Northern Ireland is sporting a catwalk classic, an empty cat litter bag, as she considers the works of Audre Lorde in a time of political turmoil, peeking out from the shadows, looking towards the light. #catlife #proofofcat

Today Callie is looking lovely dressed in a brown paper bag, ready for play. #catlife #proofofcat

Today Callie the calico cat is sitting, paws forward, head aloft, eyes eager, half-in and half-out of a brown paper bag, ready for play.
