This almost makes me want an iPhone

I really love my Palm Treo, but the interface of the iPhone allows games . . . I mean, um, learning tools like this, in ways Palm's interface can't.

I have no idea how well this app works, I've never tried it. I have no connection with the company that makes it. I just want to play with it.

Get outside! But come back and tell us what you saw.

Oh, this is a nifty site.

Wildobs lets you upload the location of wildlife you find around North America (at least) with details about habitat, and mapped locations. I am going to explore the area near where I live, find out what's around at this time of year that I haven't yet noticed, and go look. It's a perfect "get outdoors now!" computer toy. (There's an associated iphone app, too. I don't see anything for my Treo yet.)
