Charles went shopping again yesterday at the Mall. But what inquiring readers really want to know is if Charles went back to the Puma store to check on the intriguing young saleswoman who piqued his interest. Charles - for future reference, all you have to say is, "My name is Charles. I really enjoyed talking with you the other day - you're very smart and interesting. Can I buy you a latte sometime so we could chat some more?" It's truthful. And speaking as a woman, it will work almost every time. And Charles, if you enabled comments on your blog, I wouldn't have to embarrass you on my blog. 8:37:16 PM    comment []

The Hive Brain An interesting CNN blogging article. Better than the average media drivel regarding blogs: The way bloggers link and influence each other's thinking could lead to a collective thought process, "a kind of hive brain," said Chris Cleveland, who runs Dieselpoint, a Chicago maker of search software that recently worked with Blogger.com. The hive brain is a science fiction theme most famously explored in the 1996 Star Trek movie "First Contact," but Cleveland believes blogs can turn the concept into reality with the help of Google's sifting skills. Well, you know the saying "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." 8:22:54 PM    comment []

Nick Park and Atom films have ten (10!) Wallace and Gromit shorts available for download. It's the first new set of Wallace and Gromit adventures in six years! I'm very excited. You can check out "Soccamatic" for free. It is totally cute. Several of the engineers are I work with are major Gromit fans. Afterall, that's what Gromit really is - an engineer. For example, his favorite book is "Electronics for Dogs." 8:10:51 PM    comment []
