This gadget

cartoon from www.weblogcartoons.com

You can freely re-post this cartoon on your blog - the code to do so is on We Blog Cartoons. In fact there are lots more of my cartoons there that you are welcome to post on your own blog.

Talking of technical things I rather enjoyed reading Andrew the Tall Skinny Kiwi’s explanation of ‘domain mapping’ this morning. It’s a fairly heavy and uninteresting subject for the likes of you and me, but he explains it in a way that put a smile on my face if no-one elses.

As a further tangential and even more uninteresting aside I became aware that I am more or less the only person on the planet who uses the phrase ‘your coaches will wait’, which used to be a regular expression at altar calls at the Billy Graham and other similar evangelistic rallies I attended in my youth. There are three uses of the term on the internet, of whom two are me and one is in the description of a Greenbelt panel with Martin Wroe.

    The Paradox of Progress. All but one of the comments on Gizmodo robotically reels off their requirements in such a gadget…! Makes your point brilliantly Dave :-)
    The day my Psion cracked open and gradually died years ago was one of the most creative days of my life. I started to breathe again and think in the analog and highly complex way we humans are meant to.
