Salon has an interesting writeup on the SCO-Linux-IBM legal wrangling (ad-sponsored); from my relatively uninformed position, it sounds like a version of those “get legal” software-piracy scams, on a larger scale, or the old Unisys .GIF debate. I remember this not so fondly, as I was in the middle of developing a site when the client requested we switch out all the .GIF files with .JPG’s after watching a report on CNN. That was loads of fun. And the site looked like shite.

Album of the Day: The magnificent Learning to Crawl, by The Pretenders. Time The Avenger has been on repeat all afternoon. Also: The New Pornographers. Rockin’ good stuff.

3:55 pm. Oh, god, I’m crashing. I was up at 6 to pick up Jen to take to the airport, and I had a cup of coffee at the house and then (stupidly) another from Starbuck’s. Plus a cheese danish. Now I’m sliding off the edge of the desk into unconsciousness. Something only…MORE SUGAR will be able to stop! Time for a Three Musketeers bar. Which was made, by the way, across the highway (NJ 517) from my old house in Hackettstown, NJ.
