A couple o' links
Stumbled across the Bow-Lingual Dog Translator as I was surfing the web tonight. Claims it can translate your dog's bark. Would love to test this baby out. Some bits from the article about it in NOW magazine:
Samuel, a black Lab, whimpered, "Stop playing with my emotions" when his owner Nick feigned throwing a stick for the third time.
Colleen the Collie asked me, "Aren't I great?" about 200 times in 10 minutes while hopping about erratically.
Anderson, the portly Beagle, rolled in the mud while barking, oddly enough, "You're not so tough!"
Also found a book that I wouldn't mind picking up... and maybe giving to every American I meet who asks what makes us uniquely Canadian:
How to Be a Canadian (Even If You Already are One)
by Will & Ian Ferguson
Speaking of uniquely Canadian, I've been watching CBC's new show Snakes & Ladders. Some have called it a Canadian version of the West Wing but I hesitate to make any comparisons between such distinct programs. It's like comparing Bridget Jones' Diary to Pride and Prejudice or Jesus of Montreal to Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (okay, I haven't actually seen The Passion yet, but if you'll permit me a little lattitude)... obviously a connection but they're really not comparable. But I digress from my important question... is Snakes & Ladders over?!?! I remember reading that it was only a six part series, but is that truly the end of it? Please say it isn't so!
Oh, yeah... EdMo stuff...
