Sigh, I am resigning myself that my MacBookPro may be a fruit more in the citrus family. Three days after a 12 day stint to the Apple Repair Facility in Somewhereville, the backlit screen is no longer lit, so off it goes again. “It will be a priority, but expect it to be a week”. […]
Ahh, a fresh Wired magazine hits my door step, and right there in the “rants” section, who else leads but Stephen Downes correcting a myth published in their feature on Superman: “The Myth of Superman” (issue 14.06) tells this tale: “Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster “¦ created [Superman] as a char-acter in a newspaper comic […]
