Computer Safari
Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 9:26PM 
When I work in my home office, my mind often drifts thinking of all the places I want to see in the world. Prague, Mount Rushmore, St. Petersburg. But my dream always starts and ends in Africa on safari. So I immediately "connected" with these cute little animal USB memory drives from Japan. Now, I can have my own little elephant sitting on my desk.
These USB pets are from Japanese company Marubeni InfoTech. Available in both walnut and maple, you can choose between a 1 GB dog, pig, elephant, hippo, or swan. Or get them all and have your very own herd. They could have chosen a better place for the USB cord but hey, they are so cute I can overlook this design flaw.
Available at the monoDO website for 7,980 yen, which is about $73 US. (website is in Japanese, but I’ve linked to the translated version). Thanks to Geek Alerts and Paige + Modern for bringing a piece of the animal kingdom to me!

How Do Dogs Communicate?
Monday, June 8, 2009 at 12:28PM
Sociology, psychology, communications (public relations, marketing, advertising) are disciplines that offer innumerable studies and findings about how and why we communicate...rather than resorting to symbolic interpretations and critical analyses, however, sometimes those answers are right at our feet – our pets. Animals communicate much the same way people do – recognizing tone, inflection, nonverbal cues, positive/negative energies, instinct and even languages.
In fact, my English Lab, Presley (aka “Poopie”), knows at least 32 words in the English language...either he’s a little slow, or he's smart enough to hide his fluency.
Presley understands sit, stay, okay, go to your room, bedtime, no, come here, ball, toy, food, walk, kisses, joey, uncle rocky, mommy, where, get, shake, down, good boy, bad boy, potty, gentle, wet, drop it, incoming! ......Oh, if life was this simple.

We like dogs around here. While our black lab and 2 cuban circus dogs run around us, we actively look for information to keep them happy and healthy. Along comes Woof Report. Great info with a crisp, clean design. A must for any dog lover.
