Hey, President (cough) Bush, what's that on your Palm?
Techie Link of the Moment
Interesting suck.com article on WAP, and why it sucks. WAP is the underlying protocol that you use when you use "wireless internet" on your cellphone. Although the protocol itself isn't too too bad (except for an odd 1492 character limit in how much a server can send in one gulp), it's associated with WML, a terrible HTML-like language, and also having to use the cellphone keypad to laboriously tap in letters.
Quotes of the Moment
"As we say in the trade, nothing bad happens to a writer, everything is material."He is one of the wisest writers I've ever read. Taken together these quotes seem kind of cheesy, but in the context of his advice column they really work.
"Enjoy your life, my dear; it is the only one you'll have on this earth, and it's a good earth."
