It is really fantastic to see a community spirit here on the site. And it is also amazing (though not surprising,) that readers of this daily notepad seem to be incredibly creative people. You, yes you. Thank you for surfing by with your Macintoshes and Windows machines, with your Internet Explorers and Safaris from all over the world. (Can the person who surfed here via ARPANET please stand up?)
Thank you so much for sending in your desktops and little pictures of stripey the icon-sock-dog. Most of the pictures were posted in the comment section of this entry,and Shauna suggested that Victor Stripey Hugo might deserve his own blog, just like Hugo, the ferret.
I am not sure I am as good with setting up blogs as Anna.
The reason for this entry are two animations I received today, both featuring Stripey and not posted in the comments. First, let’s dim the s as we take a look at a little dock action filmed by Deane: Here we go. A really cute animation, I think. I have no idea how he filmed such an intimare moment of Stripey the dog in his dock. I watched the movie many, many times today. (Even though I have my own stripey in my own dock.)
This evening a simply fantastic Stripey movie arrived here. I laughed out loud when I saw it. It is a masterpiece. Rob Tourtelot is the creator and once you’ll see the little flash you will understand why this man is one of the most sought after flash experts in New York. (He is more than just that, but that's more than fits into a post.) Take a look at this secretly filmed glimpse at Stripey, when he felt unobserved. Here we go. Fantastic, isn’t it?
Thank you so much for all of the pictures and animations and emails. These have been very happy days. Thank you. : )

Posted by: shauna on January 29, 2003 07:24 AMReality show w/ Stripey... In the Outback, the African Savannah, Thailand, Dixieland Flea Market in Alabama. This has wonderful potential. Go Stripey... Hey- "State of the Nation" address by Stripey. The sky's the limit... well, no, I guess infinity-
Posted by: vikki 'busgirl' willis on January 29, 2003 10:01 AMWell, how about this -- when I get sockdogs.com up and running (It's going to be a simple site, so it should be very soon), maybe Stripey can have his own comic strip there? Or comic panel? Or something like this...
Posted by: Anna on January 29, 2003 11:01 AMI think this is the PERFECT sollution. We could create a little story that would consist of desktop pictures. (Or little crops of it.)
It would be stripey’s contemplations about the world and things and such... yes!
Looking forward to it! Yey!
WOW, I like that idea too, maybe we all can submit storyboards for you? And I love that animation of Stripey in the Dock, talent abounds!!
