Which was also on a Friday.

A week in review...

On Tuesday, Mozilla turned ten, and what's more
On Thursday, the Apple Macintosh, twenty-four.
And just how can I share this info with you?
Wikipedia switched to its new software in '02.
1. Orbital - The Girl With Sun In Her Hair (10:26)

I spent last Saturday at a book store, you know, one of the new ones. With a website. Looking though the magazine section, pouring over literary journals, and checking submission guidelines. I admit, I only planed to write down addresses, submission fees, requirements; but still, I came home with three magazines and a child's illustrated volume of fables. At a used book-store, they played old jazz and I danced a little for the masseuse who had set her chair in home and garden. Once home, I finished reading "The Stepford Wives", then made myself some dinner. Then flipped casually through some Nietzsche while listening to the news.
