If you're Jewish, you can send a fax to God. Now the Hindu's have a similar service available:

Why wait in line when you can SMS Ganesh?. Texting God [The Register]

Maybe Asgard needs a voice mail system ....???

This is going to decide if the first sale doctrine applies to digital media - what a way to test it! With a $0.99 song from iTunes!

iTunes auction treads murky legal ground. In a move that could spark a novel legal test of Internet music resale rights, a Web developer puts a digital song he purchased on Apple's iTunes up for auction on eBay. [CNET News.com]

Still selling fleece! Four more today, and we're better than halfway thru our stock! And to think that this was just destined to be wasted - burned, composted, whatever.

I heard back from a buyer in FL - she got her parcel today, and was washing. She commented on how white the white turned out - it does clean up nice! And her only real negative comment was on the "plain onld dirt) - not "dingleberries" or even VM (vegetable matter - straw, hay, grass, etc.). Just dirt.

She also commented on how the fleece smelled - "alot different than my apartment smell!". I'll bet she's right, too! It smells like it just came from a barnyard, because, well, it did!

This is the first time in over 25 years that I've been selling a "real" product - not just some bastard form of "intellectual property" or consulting services. And it feels really good, too. There's an objective quality to selling a real thing - it's obviously either as advertised or not, there's no real subjective judgement involved.

The farm broke even for August - first month it's not run in the red since we started operations in the spring. And that feels pretty good, too.
