I approve of this.
I don’t know why it leaves sometimes.
I assume it has to do with migration patterns.

I do not approve of this.
Pigeons love nuts.

And you thought pigeons were dumb.
Many people have asked how it is that I’m able to make it to so many Tweetups.
All it takes it some careful preparation and an intimate knowledge of FedEx’s flight routes.

Today I discovered that there’s a Twitter account called The_Pigeon.
What’s worse is that this is a screenshot of “The Pigeon“‘s website.
I call that design “I pooped in your eye.”
If I have seen further,
it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.

(Thanks to Elizabeth for sending this to me via email.)
I put out an appeal not long ago to see if I could find an iPhone 2G that was just sitting in a drawer somewhere because The Wife’s has been acting up, and, well, this is a dumb time to buy an iPhone since a new one is expected by pretty much everyone “soon”.
Jim Ray sent me his 2G (which looks almost brand new) and I am syncing it to iTunes as we speak. Well, as I speak. Well, we aren’t really speaking at all, I’m typing and you’re reading. Well, I mean, you will, eventually. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, iTunes.
Jim renamed the iPhone “pigeon” before sending it along, which was very clever of him. Either that or it was always named “pigeon” which is a little weird.
Anyway, I caught this screenshot of the game Bastard Pigeon being sync’d to my iPhone named ‘pigeon’ and thought I’d share it with you.
You’ll note that they call it “Bast * Pigeon” presumably so the name will fit under the icon when it is displayed on the iPhone, and also perhaps as a minor bit of censorship. (We’ve already taught The Boy to refer to it as ‘Bad Word Pigeon’ instead of its ‘official’ name.)
BTW I will be reviewing Bastard Pigeon for TUAW soon enough, but my summary review is this: 99¢ to fly a pigeon and score points by pooping on people and cars? Totally worth it. The sound effects of people screaming as they get hit? Just a bonus.
Pigeon held on suspicion of spying
Indian police are holding a pigeon under armed guard after it was caught on an alleged spying mission for arch rival and neighbour Pakistan.
The white-coloured bird was found by a local resident in India’s Punjab state, which borders Pakistan, and taken to a police station 40km from the capital Amritsar.
The pigeon had a ring around its foot and a Pakistani phone number and address stamped on its body in red ink.
Police officer Ramdas Jagjit Singh Chahal told the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency that they suspected the pigeon may have landed on Indian soil from Pakistan with a message, although no trace of a note has been found.
Officials have directed that no one should be allowed to visit the pigeon, which police say may have been on a “special mission of spying”.
