Friday Morning

I won't be posting much today but e-mail I've received lately prompts me to mention…

  • Yes, I know Howard Stern's available "on cable TV" via the iN Demand (that's how they type it) service. That's just the videotaped radio show without the bleeps and blurs. I think one of these days, he's going to do a real show for HBO or Showtime or one of those and it'll be a huge success.
  • Yes, I know there are some practical applications in math and encryption to having the largest possible prime number. It's just not something I figure on using in my life. Not unless I have to tally the number of mistakes of the Bush administration.
  • Yes, I know there are a few remaining outposts of the restaurant chains I described as "extinct (or nearly-extinct)." That's what the part in the parentheses meant.
  • Back soon with more fun stuff as soon as I catch up on some deadlines. Ta-ta.
