In the high tech world that we live in where we live by the code of ‘technology for technology sake’ there should be little surprise at the 512MB USB drive for your doggies collar.

So if an engraved tag with the name and address or a capsule with a piece of paper just does not cut it for you, now you can store your dog’s important information on his or her own 512MB USB drive. You could also include some pictures, a list of favorite foods, how they like to be exercised, his favorite pooch parlor etc etc all on this bone shaped chewable USB drive.

Ah, how sweet.

This doggy army looks like it’s straight out of Lord of the Rings as described by this recent post from Gizmodo and it looks like it would be a perfect Halloween costume:

I’ve added a new feature to the site using the Riffly service. This should enable a more collaborative experience and I’m really looking forward to feedback on this.

When you want to post a comment on an article you now have the option to post video or audio response. It couldn’t be simpler - there is no software to download and it’s completely free. If you have a webcam and/or computer microphone, you’re ready to provide audio or video feedback! Just go to the comments section of any page and at the bottom select if you want to leave a video or audio comment… and of course you can still use text comments - but that is so last century! Welcome to the future! =]

Today’s Tech Tip… What is RSS?

I’m not going to go into all the technical details of what RSS is… this is just a brief overview on what RSS can do. BostonRockDog.com offers RSS feeds as an alternate way to keep up with what Layla and Frampton are up to.

I like to read a lot of websites daily - So many in fact, that I can’t possibly visit them all every day. What I CAN do though is subscribe to their “RSS” (Really Simple Syndication) feed. There are a lot of RSS readers out there, but my favorite is Google Reader.

Instead of going to all my favorite sites every day, I just need to go to Google Reader. It pulls all the newest posts from my subscribed sites where I can easily read them in one spot.

This video is a very brief and entertaining description of RSS.
