- How many people who blog know that many blogs automatically send trackbacks or send pings to pingers sites like weblogs.com? How many bloggers know that these pings trigger services like Technorati to include their posts in an index and that any mention of my blog in their private diary cause a link to their diary to show up in my sidebar within minutes? One of the things that some of us forget is that it's not all about attention. Most people want a little more attention than they get, but they usually want it from the right people and only when they feel like it. |

- For præcis 35 år siden opfandt en 35-årig tegner den tegneseriefigur, der skulle blive hans store bidrag til mediet. Det var begyndelsen på en elsket tegneserieserie, der har kørt frem til i dag. Serien repræsenterer på godt og ondt en udvikling, som jubilæet er en passende lejlighed, til at se nærmere på. Måske kan den endda bruges til en generel beskrivelse af tegneserieseriens udvikling. |

- From the W?BIC department comes a PC roughly the size of an orange. It doesn't run Windows though. It uses a new OS called T-Engine and geared towards the Chinese market. No clue why they don't use Linux if an unlicensed/free OS is all they are after. |
