Morning genetically-modified roundup:
A look at Naked News Obscure Store – they want to introduce naked foreign correspondents.
“The tone was always to be news naked,” Pinckert says. “The nudity was a metaphor for getting down to the bare facts, the naked truth, if you will.” In other words, the nudity doesn’t undermine their credibility, it enhances it.
Fat has a taste. Science Daily – making it the sixth sense (after sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami.)
Just got the official announcement from AT&T that my Net connection is back up (it’s been up since yesterday lunchtime, but you can understand them waiting until everything cleared). I’ve been quite impressed by the switch-over. If the DHCP reconfig didn’t work, the AT&T engineers set up fake @home DNS and News servers that tell you to manually change your settings. The DNS hack is clever and the newsserver is a sign they were really paying attention. ISP’s never remember the newserver.
