Orangutans, With iPads

The BBC writes of an experiment at the Milwaukee zoo where orangutans are given access to iPads so that they use basic drawing apps, and kick back and watch some primate video.

The next goal is to wire the zoo and have the orangutans video chat with others elsewhere.

Via the BBC:

“Orangutans love looking at each other,” said [conservationist Richard] Zimmerman, adding that one of the apes, 31-year-old MJ, is a fan of David Attenborough programmes.

“The orangutans loved seeing videos of themselves - so there is a little vanity going on - and they like seeing videos of the orangutans who are in the other end of the enclosure.

“So if we incorporate cameras, they can watch each other.”

Other centres, zoos and sanctuaries are said to want to get involved “immediately” and are just waiting for more devices to become available.

“We’ve been limited to Milwaukee because we haven’t been able to get enough iPads,” Mr Zimmerman said.

“We’ve been waiting for the iPad 3 to come out to make the iPad 1 really obsolete, so we can pick up a few.

And I don’t have one yet.

It’s George Carlin all over again. I don’t like vulgarity on TV either and many of our celebs need to have their mouths washed out with soap but really? It is still the economy stupid. 

“Nick’s Law” is a bad policy for Wisconsin. Clearly people shouldn’t drive without a license. The simple fact is that many do because we have little public transportation outside of urban areas. Our economy is bad enough without increasing our staggering unemployment rate by having a traffic infraction cost you your job. Obviously, something must be done about those who drive because of a alcohol related revocation, but this is not the answer.

Many people become procrastinators this time of year. Do not put off addressing your legal issues until next year. Give me a call at 262-569-8300. Let’s look at your situation this week and put you in a better position than you are now.

Berry once punched Keith Richards in the face for tapping him on the shoulder, and has a reputation for being both ornery and withdrawn, but today he isn’t either of those things. He’s gracious, in a southern sort of way. Pleased to meet you. He shakes hands and his hands swallow up the hands of his guest. He once was as handsome as Elvis, and he’s still got a great face, and eyes that don’t seem so much cruel or aloof as just kind of wry and sharp and maybe a bit amused, like he’s in on some sort of joke.

Great article from Esquire on Chuck Berry, who’s still alive, still performing, and recording songs that he doesn’t want you to hear.
