Apple's Logo

I like it. I even like the "brushed aluminium" interface scheme, as opposed to the Aqua pinstrips.

Apple Doin' the Logo-Motion. The world-famous Apple logo is getting a new look. Purists may not approve, but the designer of the original Apple logo, Rob Janoff, likes what he sees. By Leander Kahney. [Wired News]

Much Ado About Telemarketing

A visitor stopping by last night seemingly expected to find a bit of a rant of the current telemarketing legal fiasco.

I tried, but it got much too long for a post, so I turned it into a "story" - my first. It's posted here. Enjoy. Or not ...

Rural Broadband

Interesting that this debate is taking place in Britain - it's happening here, too, but at a much lower volume.

I can't get broadband where I live - it's not available. I'm on ISDN instead, and have been satisfied with the results. And that's a good thing, because at the rate of infrastructure development here, I'll never have broadband.

Nil admirari

Mihi placent, O Pincerna!
Virent ova! Viret perna!
Dapem posthac non arcebo.
Gratum tibi me praebebo.
