- Updating Radio Userland Well, I did it. I went ahead and ponied up another $40 to renew my Radio subscription for another year. John was the second person to point out that my historical archives were no longer working. I guess that's one of the ways that Userland gets you. Stop paying and we stop archiving. |

- Vier bis sieben Minuten, hieß es im vorbereitenden Telefonat, würden die Gespräche in der Kulturzeit normalerweise dauern. Also nehmen wir einen Schnitt von fünf. Wer schon mal beim Zahnarzt war, weiß, wie lange fünf Minuten dauern können. Ogottogottogott, wahrscheinlich geht mir nach zwei Minuten das verbale Pulver aus und ich hab nichts mehr zu erzählen. Was dann? |

- Blitzblanke, strahlende Augen. Und dann doch die Tiefe eines trügerischen Maars. Darunter möglicherweise ein Vulkan, der nur ruht. Volle Lippen, die einen Mund bilden ,der gar nichts zu sagen braucht, ein Mund, bei dem man wartet, dass er sich nur ein ganz klein wenig öffnet. Schon so etwas wie eine Erfüllung. |

- Worm's spread shows holes in patch system. The MSBlast worm's spread supports the view that patches, while necessary to increase the security of specific computers, can't be relied upon to protect large networks. [CNET News.com] "Instead of relying on its clients to patch their systems, BrightNet has blocked traffic to the vulnerable software addresses, or ports, and e-mail alerts will be sent to infected users." |

- Phone Tones 'to Beat CD Singles' "Sales of mobile phone ringtones are set to overtake CD singles, according to new figures - providing a much-needed 'shot in the arm' for the music industry. Sales of ringtones - which are more profitable to record companies than singles - are expected to rise 60% this year, said the Mobile Data Association (MDA). An estimated £70m of ringtones will be sold in 2003 - up from £40m in 2002 - according to the MDA, a non-profit trade group. |

- "wir sprechen Amerikan" is from a post about languages on the upcoming California ballot, but it is closer to the truth than you might think. In Germany, the language we speak in the US is often referred to as "Amerikanisch", as if it has nothing to do with English. Even better is to be referred to as a "US-Amerikaner", which even though it incorporates the beloved letters 'USA', to me sounds like PC mumbo-jumbo. I mean, even though there is North America and South America, there does not exist an 'America' of which the US is a subset. Please, just call me 'Ami'! |
