Sony makes device that livetweets for cats

Currently, only fixed phrases can be used as comments for Twitter, and there are 11 phrases available. But Sony CSL is planning to increase the number of phrases and add a function to change comments in accordance with the preceding action. For example, if a cat eats something after taking a walk, a comment like “Meals taste better after a walk” is posted on Twitter, the company said.

Oh, I want this.  Want, want, want.  Tierce’s life will be Tweeted to all and sundry.

Tierce is not the only Shiba who uses Twitter (I keep chasing him off the laptop, I swear)… Jenna and Snickers have a list of Shibas and their people who Tweet!  Check it out

Tierce, being the modern dog he is, has a social life!  Find him on:

Dog Room Escape: It’s all in Japanese (of course), so I have no idea what I’m doing. However, there is a little dog with a familiar smirk on its face:

And there’s what looks like a Shiba in rigor mortis:

Enjoy!

Correction to the post New Shiba Comic!

The comic Letters from Us is NOT by Jim Freiberger, but by Carole Hogan; Jim was just letting people know about the newest Shiba goodness available on the ‘Net.

Letters From Us

By Jim Freiberger, featuring his Shiba Inus Riley and Sidney.

And I stumbled upon another blog:
Northeast Shiba Inu Sanctuary

I am a big fan of point n’ click games – mostly they are “escape the room” style games where you click on objects and areas to find items that can help you get out of a room. They have expanded to where you are on a big adventure quest, etc. Anyway, I was checking out Jay is Games, when I came across a post about Escape Day. The description went, “You star as some kind of… cat/fox/puppy guy who has, as the game’s intro nicely explains, been lured into, then trapped inside, a kitchen!”

Hmmm… I wonder what kind of dog looks like a cat/fox/puppy… any guesses?

The whole game is in Japanese, so it is going to be difficult for the non-Japanese speaker (I’m totally lost and following the walkthrough!). Fortunately Jay is Games has a walkthrough/Q&A area that can help.

I wants me some kitchen Shiba!

I created a couple of pages:

Shiba inus

Canadian Shiba inus

I’m going to add more stuff to them; just playing around with what Squidoo can do!

Today, I got a new e-mail.

I’ve got to thank Aimee, because she inadvertently gave me an e-kick to the ass to update TMS already. Nothing major; just updating the information about Shassi (she’s now #10 on the unofficial Shiba Inu Veteran top 50) and improving parts of the site. I want to make it into a bigger site than it is, maybe breaking up the information into several pages. Eventually. Some day.

One idea that I will need more knowledge for, but I think would be cool is an application on the site that automatically rotates pictures and information about rescue Shibas and/or Shiba alerts, like lost dogs or Shibas who have come upon misfortune. I’ll see; I need to know a LOT more information about web applications as well as incorporate an easy to use interface where rescuers could post pictures and information about their dogs.

But, back to the e-mail. If you’re a Shiba person in SIRA’s area (some volunteers are pretty far away from the base, so people outside the Chicago/Illinois area may still be able to help/volunteer/adopt through them), check them out. And thanks, Aimee!
