The Left Lane
Digital dog tags

"It was best of times, it was the worst of times. And Fido needed a Milkbone."

Well, maybe not. But perhaps you and your canine companion can compose something a little catchier to fill the 40 lines of text available on eTags' new digital dog tag.

"Think of it as your dog's personal translator," said eTags co-founder Jeff Kolodziej.

The digital tag is encased in a shock-resistant, waterproof case and illuminates automatically when information is viewed.

The tag has enough storage capacity to carry your dog's name, contact information, medical requirements, veterinary contacts and license number, as well as a personal message to aid in your dog's safe return.

Check out dog-e-tag.com for more information.

Sounds like ...

Need a meow, tires squealing, the patter of rain or an old-fashioned cash register ringing up a sale? Here is the place to find sound samples on the Web.

FindSounds.com searches for audio files by sound description. Categories include animal types, birds, devices, bugs, assorted explosions, weapons and other mayhem, physical phenomenon, weather, instruments, bells and buzzers and various, uh, bodily utterances. There are themes from movies and TV shows, too.
