Have you noticed that big yellow thing in the sky? It’s called the sun. (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/05/31/100loc_a1weather001.cfm?refresh=yes)Today it gave Pacific Northwesterners a chance to dry out some of the mildew behind their ears. Here is a story to keep you in a sunny mood:
If your thumb is more brown than green, you might try planting some succulents. (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/05/31/100hg_11hgsucculents001.cfm?refresh=yes) They’re hardy, and will handily survive all the sun the Northwest can throw at them.
More importantly, they’ll survive all the neglect you can throw at them, which will leave you time for more important things, such as clipping some mint from your garden for a mojito.
ITunes, giving in gracefully to the inevitable, is now selling many of its songs without their irksome copy protection feature. (http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/07/05/31/100bus_itunes001.cfm?refresh=yes)
Media geeks can now freely transfer their music. Also, they can now freely transfer the energy they devoted to getting around the restrictions to more important matters. Like decoding DVD encryptions.
