email thisVia Pedraum's weblog which links to a story about Site Player a device housing a web server, ethernet, serial port, and other I/O ports in about an inch square for (less in quantity). Excellent! They make a great point: why put display circuitry on hardware when you can access it from any computer via a browser? An 802.11 wireless version can't be far behind.
Strange siting in the back yard yesterday (a true New Englander would say "back dooryard"). Some kind of snow ameoba migration or a ghastly virus. Actually I think it's tracks made in the snow last December finally resurfacing in the warm March weather.
Pet Breath Ameliorator Patent Issued, actually there are a number of patents related to pets and garlic. This one deals with dog breath. What's funny is that the day before reading this I was at the pet store and saw a tin of dog breath mints, like altoids for dogs, and thought what kind of obsessive control freak needs to adjust their dog's breath? All kinds, I guess.
<Nose Rant> I'm more concerned with the un-natural scents out there. Why would I want my dishes lemony fresh? A dish without ANY smell would seem much cleaner than one coated in who-knows-what to create the illusion of a lemon scent. Besides, if I make lemonade how will I ever know if the dishes get clean? Talk about recursion. Ditto on scented laundry products...just clean it already. </Nose Rant>
