Technology Tuesday: iPad Stands

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012

As you all know, pugs provide many functions that assist us humans in our everyday lives. From floor cleaning to feet warming, all the services pugs provide beg one to ask the question, “how the heck did I get along before my pug?”. Well, not only have pugs dominated the domestic-care industry, they’ve now entered the technology arena – starting with an accessory for the much-beloved tablet from Apple.

Introducing: the iPug iPad Stand.

Featuring a self-cleaning mechanism, soft neck-roll wrist rest, and a bad attitude, the iPug iPad Stand is ready to hit the streets (right after he does his business).

Don’t let your precious iPad wobble on some dull plastic stand – instead, get the stand that purrs when you pet it, and even snores when in sleep mode! There are countless accessories for the iPug iPad Stand, including multi-colored soft cotton cases so you can personalize the color of your iPug iPad Stand (orange and blue shown in photos). Why settle for boring?!

The iPug iPad Stand can be yours today – for the low cost of one bag of venison jerky treats.

Sid has been begging me to make Pug Slope look better so he told me to get some books from the library. Look for some cosmetic updates to the site in the next few weeks (hopefully I can get them done before the book is due!). How do you like the new seasonal banner photo for a start?

Pug Surveillance

Monday, October 11th, 2010

So we’ve received numerous questions about how we recorded the timelapse / surveillance footage of Sid for OPERATION TUPPERWARE so I thought I’d put together a quick tutorial on how we do it.

What prompted us to spy on Sid in the first place came from the fact that we started finding tupperware strewn about the apartment when we’d arrive home from an evening out. We became curious to see when and how he managed to unroot all the tupperware. We also just wanted to see what he does while we are away – yes, we’re pretty much obsessed with the poor guy.

The software we used is called Evocam and it can be purchased directly from the company that makes it, Evological, for a mere $30. What I found unique about this software over others is that 1) it runs on a mac, and 2) it allows you to stream the footage on the web so that while we are out, we can keep tabs on Sid with Jenn’s iPhone.
