Do you have a radio controlled clock that receives the shortwave signal from the atomic clock in Colorado? Eric has a digital model in his room, but the analog “atomic clock” in the kitchen is old enough that it doesn’t know about the change in dates between Standard and Daylight Savings time. So Sunday morning it had fallen back. I switched the time zone setting to force it ahead by one hour. Because it’s an analog clock, this is how it’s done. Looks like a time-elapse effect from an old movie

That’s my theme
OK, one more try with the updated theme. The last time I published something with this theme enabled, when the page rendered, WordPress lost contact with the database. If it happens again I’ll say something pithy and clever like, “S**T!
Technical Note
The blog theme has been changed. It may not look it at first glance, but behind the scenes it’s not the same. Please let me know if anything doesn’t work or seems wrong to you. Thanks.
Well, that didn’t last long. It blew up. Back to the old theme.
Bose Wave MP3 Test
You may recall that a while ago we had to replace our defective Bose Wave that broke after only six weeks of light use. It cost us $25 to ship it back, which bugged me, but so far the new one has been working all right. Yet I remain wary, because I’ve seen “disc error” flash a couple of times when ejecting a disc.
Until now I hadn’t tested the MP3 playback of the Wave. So I burned a data CD with five hours of high quality MP3 files. You’ll never guess what’s on it. 😉

Steve Jobs
This picture was scanned from Wednesday’s Boston Globe. I’d read about the talk concerning Steve Job’s health, but this stunned me. In this layman’s view, can there be any doubt that Steve Jobs is dying?
Comment on no comments
Looks like I have a WordPress problem that’s described at this link. Until I fix this you can’t enter comments on older posts. I suspect a problem with the plug-in that puts recent comments on the home page.
OK, it should be fixed now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.
