Another sign that the iPod is going wireless?
“Read into this what you will (and we’re so tempted to refrain from our usual banter on this one), but a job posting has shown up on Apple’s website looking for a hardware engineer to work in their iPod division who has experience in a variety of wireless protocols, including “GSM, Bluetooth, [and] IEEE 802.11”.
Some sort of wireless iPod in the works? Maybe, maybe not, but there has been plenty of speculation about this, and it sounds like they’re at least might be exploring their options.”
HOW TO BE CREATIVE by Hugh MacLeod.
Dont miss this. It is the most recommended read of the month!
Today has been sadly marked by the death of Blueboy. He was my favourite fish and beloved dwarf gourami, who died while we cleaned the tank today.
Blueboy always perked up when I approached the glass, he’d get excited and try to touch me through the glass with his little feelers, and follow me around. His favourite spot was hiding in the labyrinth of tall plants and leaves at the side of the tank, where nobody would bother him. Blueboy was a magnificently beautiful fish, iridescent blue with rainbow fins. Despite his dazzling beauty he was extremely humble and gentle-natured.
We discovered him by chance, in a plastic bag we had used to discard rotten leaves that had been netted. He was limp, mouth closed, his little fins folded neatly. He had been lying there for half an hour, totally at our mercy, waiting for us to see him. But we were too preoccupied to notice. We tried to revive him for 10 minutes even though it was hopeless. I hope he can forgive us for what we have done.
I can’t think of my little Blueboy without wanting to cry.

Smallest Baby ever to survive is now 14, happy and healthy
A record-breaking baby weighing a minuscule 280 grams has grown up into a healthy young teenager.
Madeline was born at 27 weeks, weighing the equivalent of three bars of soap. She was about a third of the weight of babies of a similar age and only a fraction of the three kilograms that newborns normally weigh after a full 40-week pregnancy.
Fact: Only 40% of babies born at 23 weeks survive.
