Wristwatch
phone turns your finger into an earpiece (thanks Mike Martinez) is my
favorite techie story in a while, as all I can picture now is a guy walking down
the street with his finger stuck in his ear while shouting 'Speak up, I can't
hear you!!!" Also from the world of science is NightSky:
Friday Coming Nov. 8 Second Total Lunar Eclipse of 2003, with word of a
second chance for those of us rained out earlier this year. Unfortunately, the
forecast is for wet weather around these parts again, but there's still hope, as
the weatherman is off base far more often than once in a blue moon, much less a
red one. Hey, I wonder why Mitsubishi didn't call the convertible version of
their sporty car a Solar Eclipse? And the coupe with a moon roof could be the
Lunar Eclipse! Oh well, if it rains maybe I'll find a dealership and ask them
these burning questions.

Blue, good to know the emode thing was unintentional. It seemed a bit odd. 
Lately I have had two pop-ups appear simultaneously when I first hit the site. It had only been one before (as I would expect). I'll disable the pop-up stopper and ID the ads for the next time I visit.
I am also getting pop-ups each time I click an internal link (such as to view this discussion) but I am assuming that is intentional.
As I said, I'm not complaining or threatening to "boycott" or some such nonsense. I enjoy the site but the ad overload is getting to be a bit much, hence my finally breaking down and using a pop-up stopper. It's fine now, but blocking the ads really defeats the purpose, doesn't it? If the ads were less intrusive, I might actually look at them instead of instinctively trying to shut them down.
