  1. After having gone missing in my papers for 30 years, the original ad has been found!

    The bottom half (shown here) features what we called the Computer "Toad" (actually a tree frog), and it still features prominently on my ancient ISP-provided tilde page. The photo was a mascot around the office for quite a while.

    No idea what the ad was for (AT&T / NCR?), but ... enjoy!

  2. @BigD I offer you “Upper Hutt in a Northerly Gale” - the storm was preceded by a Shakespearean chorus of #TreeFrogs that reside outside my bedroom window. When the wind abates they sing for more. It feels very “cause and effect”.

  3. Seven #NewSpecies of #frogs discovered in Madagascar phys.org/news/2024-10-frog-spe

    Communicator whistles: A Trek through the #taxonomy of the #Boophis marojezensis complex reveals 7 new #treefrogs from #Madagascar vertebrate-zoology.arphahub.co

    "they emit special whistling sounds... These reminded the team of #StarTrek, where similar sound effects are frequently used... That's why they named the frogs after Kirk, Picard, Sisko, Janeway, Archer, Burnham, & Pike—7 of the most iconic captains"

  5. Terrible Invasive Story 🙁

    I had a real treat the other day when a Green Tree Frog visited me in the hot tub. I used to see these almost every day, but no more. Spring used to bring a cacophony of frogs chirping, but no more.

    The reason is "The Beast" aka the #Invasive #CubanTreeFrog which EATS OTHER TREE FROGS! They are huge and toad-like. I kill them when I find them, but the battle is already lost where I live in north #Florida.

    As you can see from the #Map, these invaders are moving north and are now #Endemic in my area (red circle). 👎

  6. I wear #makeup. Not every day, and rarely a "full face."

    Some days, it's like mating
    #plumage on birds: "These rich colors are here to attract attention."

    Most days, it's like the bright colorings on Amazonian
    #TreeFrogs: "I'll kill you, and look stunning while doing so."
