What’s With All the Pencils?
Bing Desktop resides on all my computers. Because of that, every day a new background presents itself on my desktop. Usually it's some gorgeous landscape scene from somewhere in the world.Earlier this week, it was this:For perspective, notice the yellow staircase on the right. This is a huge...
Seizing the Moment
People wonder why I hammer away at the one big issue that faces us all. I'm not even sure what to call it... but it has to do with the impending death of ISDN, and pretenders to the throne. A voice-over friend in Canada wrote me yesterday to ask my opinion of ipDtL. I hope he won't mind my...
