Temperature is a strange phenomen - we are having the warmest summer ever up here north(the meter mostly hangs around 13-15). An occasional, temporary, isolated measurement of 25-28 degrees somewhere in Iceland becomes a country-wide heat wave in the media.
Lucky thing that we do not have any forests to burn as the media could without a doubt cook one up.

A useful Spam - strange things happen but among the dozens of magic-pill mails today was an ad for Audible.com - had forgot about them but they will get some of my dollars, first on the list will be a dose of "News from lake Wobegone" :)
Urban public radio at it's best.

Ads Ape Apple's Air Guitarists. Upstart BuyMusic.com is doing more than just offering a music service that mimics iTunes. Its commercials are strikingly similar to Apple's ads, too. Flattery? Perhaps, but it also could be a lawsuit in the making. By Danit Lidor. [Wired News]
iTunes musicstore - great idea and BuyMusic will not be the last to jump on the bandvagon. The future is right here to be.

Bloggtools: as my Radio Userland registration expired it coincided with some ftp problems - I thought for a a while that I could not use Radio and so I strarted looking for another blogging tool.
The closest I came to finding a tool I could use was iBlog which sports a good interface with a logical design. It has potential but is still in the early stages and has serious drawbacks such as limited ftp support and somewhat strange html and link naming and generation.

Gore joins apple board Did they vote him in? If so he must have run without a campaign, wise move after the incredible feat of losing his last elections.

The local state news station appeared on the screen at 00:20GMT, the staff unusually polished in their "War Live" gear - ceremonies and oufits usually only reserved for elections.

Sad business but if there is a slight chance that the live eyes on the war can save some civilian lives, please do.

Caffeine have closed their doors, I do not know the story but it looks like yet another Mac developer is gone.

While Apple is busy developing and rolling out new applications, developer support and core development such as additional apple made standard frameworks do not seem to be high on their agenda.

Apple has released Java 1.4.1 for OS X - finally catching up :)

Dell's with no floppies - sounds like a no-brainer. My last memory of using a floppy on the Mac probably dates back to 1995, on the windoze machines it was in 1999 when I had to look for some old driver but did not find it....

Two interesting stories with a similiar theme: In Houston 13.000 workers are shifting from Microsoft apps to a line of web based products, an Insurance company is successfully migrating their IT infrastructure to open source products - both claim big savings from the moves.

Great stuff, the image manipulators from Caffeine are highly recommended.

The world is a strange place with plenty of room for all flavors. We do not like all of them but there is plenty of space - enough to avoid some of the unpleasant ones, most of the time. In Iceland the local racist party has announced that they are going to run for parliament in the upcoming elections.

Fortunaetly for the hopefully very few like-minded around their agenda is simple: "We do not like people from other cultures moving to Iceland - they are not like us, they scare us, take away our jobs and steal our property."

The only thing they have going for them is that the more they speak the less likely they become to gather any following.
We really wonder: would Lee Bowyer be eligble to run for them?
