Most people my age and younger probably don't know what that is.*

I like the lower graphic bit, and I might play with that in Illustrator, later.



This is my train of thought. Or, one of many. Usually, cooler head prevail in such matters.


Wakeup time



To-day for class, we will have incompetent ...


... and boring. This was the only thing that could be said in this situation.


And finally, to reward you for getting this far, a mini-comic. This one is completely true.



I picked up an Apple Radio Remote for my iPod, to-day. Mostly, it was for the wired remote function, as I have missed this functionality from my old 3G iPod (its remote died at least one year ago). The control is great, plugs into the dock connector, may or may not be long enough, has a clip-on control where the iPod Shuffle/Apple Remote style control buttons are located, and is somewhat smaller than the shuffle; the buttons have a satisfactory click to them. The remote also adds a radio function to the iPod, and costs the about the same as the 1 gb Shuffle. I can listen to FM now. Of course, the only good channel on frequency modulation is NPR, and the Jazz station from Eastern.

I realised I wanted the remote to-day on the bus, missing that function of my old device.


The noisy old P4 laptop I have hanging around has also been put to use, re-encoding video. It's no slower than my G5 is at the task, but it does it via command line.
