News You Can Bruise for 2006 December 16

Hung out with Evan today. I told him about Kevin's record collection of punk bands with great names like "Live Skull". As we spoke the radio in the restaurant was playing aggravating commercials with creepy lines like "add a little bit of sour cream, and watch 'em smile!" and "it follows your every move!" It was at this point we decided that all brand names should be replaced with "Live Skull". It works beautifully.

Interesting fact from the Whole Earth Software Catalog. You've heard of special-purpose word processing machines, but there was once a special-purpose spreadsheet machine: the WorkSlate. It didn't do too well.
