So what’s the secret of Huh’s success? Part of the charm of his sites is that they appear to be put together by rank amateurs. “It’s on purpose,” says Huh. Actually, they’re carefully cultivated by 20 staffers, mostly Seattle-based, including a lapsed lawyer and a former investment banker. The company is hiring roughly one staffer a month and gets some 100 applications for every position. Applicants should not offend easily and must have held a job they hated, says Huh, to better appreciate the joys of spending their days perusing funny photos. Plus, he says, “we want them to have spent serious time goofing off on the Internet.”

Here is the poem and the reason I posted it last month:
Cricket passed away and we buried him this morning. Here is a poem I wrote for him a few years ago. He was nearly 20, but young at heart to the end.
This cat has comments coming in through the window
he’s curved and connected
imagines snakes wriggling under the bed sheet
he’s fluffy and fresh from the outdoor night
nuzzling up under my chin with intensity
he has much to tell me using only purrs.
What have you seen out there, Cricket?
Were there things ferocious you’ve barely escaped?
Flying monsters in the trees
bugs that made you leap?
Shadows of mysterious dog-like creatures
trailing ropes or chains that clanked?
He pushes his nose further up to my ear
He tells me more and sighs
and I understand I have it all wrong.
There were soft, wet weeds
flowers closed up for the evening
neighbor-cats calling hellos from their porches
Moonlight and fireflies dancing across fields
breezes catching in whiskers and tail
good air for running
and running back home
To find me now waiting to hear of it all.
Nao ai haz teh leekee aiez fur shur!
But thanks so much fur bringing it heer. Ai wud nawt hav wanted to hav misst it.
