OMG -- a field guide on an iPhone! Way cool! According to the Sunday, May 10th New York Times, scientists and computer software architects are working on ways to load field guides to flora and fauna onto the iPhone. (As previously reported in the Meandering in Marin on Tuesdays blog, you can already play birdcalls on your iPhone). So one of these days, we'll be able to meander around Marin without Wendy and be able to correctly ID every plant, tree, mushroom, bird, and critter. But life on the trail just wouldn't be the same without her, would it? So don't be lickin' your corporate chops AT&T and Apple, no way are we gonna replace Wendy with this gizmo, 'cause she's irreplaceable.
