good thing I work indoors People tend to be a little shocked when they find out the Edict bathroom has a computer in it with a network drop.  (And an email address!) Apparently Microsoft has caught on: "MSN UK is creating what Microsoft calls the world's first Internet outhouse, or iLoo, complete with flat-screen plasma display, wireless keyboard and broadband access."

I only wish I could afford a 23-inch lcd "SJ Mercury: Microsoft, HP designing communication-centered PC. The Athens PC has a 23-inch flat-screen monitor so that office workers can view more than one document or Web page at a time while they're working. It comes with a phone handset and a video camera so that a user can make video phone calls." [via Tomalak's Realm] 10:53:51 PM    comment []  trackback []

Sound on sound "Audio Blogs were covered on NPR's Morning Edition today." [via The Doc Searls Weblog] Audio blogs are just another color in a web logger's palette.  A good way to keep in touch or document while away from the computer. 10:00:29 PM    comment []  trackback []

Bloomer Park, Rochester MI Well, I'm convinced that Bloomer Park has it in for my buddies. Evidence: Tuesday, April 29th Paul Jodoin does some damage to his head while riding at Bloomer Park. Tuesday, May 6th Doug VanSlembrouck runs over a charging woodchuck while riding at near Yates Cider Mill in Bloomer Park. (note: the woodchuck is still alive... it kept running.) Is it mountain biking on Tuesdays or Bloomer?    6:37:55 PM    comment []  trackback []
