About this blog
This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations.

iPad game for cats
Addictive stress: a game for cats from Elmine Wijnia on Vimeo.
Watch one of my cats play Game for Cats on my iPad. A strange mix of enthusiasm and stress over failed attempts to catch something. Still, she often looks at or touches my screen to hunt for mice. Know what you get yourself into [...]
