Flickr too...

Well, looks like I don't have to bother with putting photos on anything but the web. Prints on paper waste trees, and everybody that knows this squirrel knows how I feel about arbo-real estate.

Now if I could just go from this

to this

in no time at all, I'd be one happy rodent...

Blogs or how to have your finger on the internet's pulse

I guess that's what you're really doing when you use the technocrati site: getting an idea about what's blogworthy and what's not. Also known as the informal pollsters research lab (when you really need to know about what humans think about any topic you can imagine).
As long as it's keeping the trees standing and the nuts growing, I'm just fine with it.

Your worst nightmare...

A mischievious squirrel with an attitude learning to use the web. Things haven't bee this dire since 'Conker's Bad Fur Day'! To top it off, I realized there are three very sweet words out there: Mail! Order! Nuts!

I'll be in cashew heaven as soon as I sneak some unsupecting human's credit card away...or better yet, sign up for my own. The address might be a problem, though...would a treehole be considered a home or an apartment? Lots to mull over...but anyway, thanks, Library 2.0 for teaching me a new nut-obtaining skill.


SLCPL2.0

Hmmm, those clever human librarypeople...

They're really figuring out how to find all kinds of stuff. This new wiki thingie is interesting: All the info can be revised on the spot if the situation changes. With the old print encyclopedia books, you could only recycle them into nesting materials for the birds and rats when they became outdated. Not that I mind the rats having a nice cozy place to live (they're fellow rodents, after all. Skittish, but brothers in arms...er, teeth), but with all the print books being made from trees...well, lets just say that squirrel real estate has been at a premium. And you humans wonder why we're so mean. All I can tell you is: Support affordable housing for squirrels. Use wikis!

There's a lot you can do with wikis, especially libraryhumans. For one thing, you can set them up for the patronhumans to find out all the necessary things they need to go through life. I mean, squirrel life ain't easy, but I don't need a wiki yet, but you guys definitely do. Also, libraryhumans, set up your own organization wiki to find out fixes to technical problems or other procedures you do everyday. Your traineehumans will thank you.

(Just as an aside, the first time I heard the term 'wiki', I asked:"Mmmm, what kind of nut is that? Is it tasty?")

The squirrel is going digital

Yes, sirree, there's a new threat on the horizon: Squirrels with internet access. It's amazing, really, how good the wireless reception is up here in the trees. Plus, it's comical to watch people move about like modern dancers, stretching their arms out and rotating and spinning, trying to get the best cell phone reception. It's the most graceful thing people do nowadays. I'm not very tempted to throw my acorns at them when they do that; it's like watching the Bolshoi Ballet having American Idol-style auditions and every hopeful only uses one arm.
Oh well, maybe I will start throwing some acorns, just at the louder ones...
