    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!! FROM RANDY AND SUSANN JONES

      CHATTING WITH THOREAU ABOUT TWITTER

Angela Morris commissioned an illustration for a Peter Mandel article
The Wall Street Journal. The piece was a satire with Henry David
Thoreau being introduced to Twitter. Thoreau was asked to test the
prototype of the PodPad--“the exciting new internet platform, writing
slate, security camera and baby monitor.”

Coincidentally, I found this Thoreau quote about a bluebird.

“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but
dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.” Apparently, he had a bluebird
perch on his shoulder while he was hoeing a community garden, and the
bluebird was attracting more attention than the fauna and flora underfoot.

Then Angela suggested , “Can we make the birds look digital? That
might be a nice touch.” My wife Susann Ferris Jones sometimes helps
me with photoshopping, she took the Twitter bird logo and digitized it.

I sent Angela the two versions.
