Aug. 25th, 2011 10:34 amAn arresting headline I read today: Senator to fight 'herpes of fruit'. That does rather sound as though the Senator has this unfortunate disease. Happily for him, he doesn't.
Here is a thing to look at: When celebrities were young. Stephen Colbert! And another thing: Stitching together faces of people related to each other. So there are some momentary diversions for today.
Yesterday at work we trialled video conferencing our inter-office staff meeting. So high-tech. We are thinking of having this system installed in our two offices, and the company who sells it has offices in the same two towns we do, so instead of them coming to us to spruik* their wares, they invited us round to theirs to have our weekly meeting. They even provided strawberries and muffins, which is more than we get at our regular meetings. So that went some way to compensating for the horror of seeing ourselves on screen.
* Oh, the spell check doesn't like this. Is that because the spell check is stupid, or is 'spruik' not a word used beyond Australian shores?
