Looks as though a Japanese company has designed painless needles based on the sting of a mosquito. They’re priced at 5 times the price of a regular needle, but for neede phobes (like me) it’s worth it. I wonder if they’ll leave an red bump like an itchy mosquito bite?
Were Alfred Hitchcock still alive today it would be his 104th birthday. I’ve seen Hitchcok films and “Hitchcock Presents” on TV since I was a kid, but Carol and I have just taken up watching his films anew. They still hold up really well. Just last weekend we watched Vertigo with the late great James Stewart. We love to watch for where “Hitch” makes a brief appearnace, usually as an extra, in all his films.
Carol noticed that Google had a Hitchcock logo up to celebrate the great director’s birthday today. Thanks Carol.
Yahoo! News – Internet Worm Targets Microsoft Windows This is a nasty one. I say summary executions for the idiots who think these are a good idea.
Matt S sent me a link to :: Making Over Mona ::. DaVinci’s Mona Lisa, apparently, needs a makeover. I saw the real Mona Lisa in Paris when I was there in 1985 and went to the Louvre. I found the sight of her rather anticlimactic roped off behind her leaded glass enclosure. She was smaller than I thought she’d be. The feeling was, “Well there she is.” *Yawn*. It must have been all those Cadbury commercials. I was only 16 at the time and drunk out of my skull. Life is wasted on the youth of this world. I’m sure I’d appreciate it more today. *SIGH*
