Given how slowly the indicator bar was advancing, I wasn’t about to wait.

Also, not sure that thing she has is a dog…

Interesting how the dog in 3rd clip looked behind the laptop for the cat. IMO s/he wasn’t scared of a cat–just unnerved by the disembodied yowling. Smart dog!

She’s one of ours here in the Twin Cities, we’re very proud.

Isn’t the girl in the second video the one who discovered the security flaw on Norm Coleman’s website? The third video: FTW!!!
