Hors d’œuvre
Because every new WordPress upgrade breaks K2, my previous theme, I’m working on a new home-grown alternative. Until it’s ready for prime time, here are some random items of interest:

- NYT’s Solzhenitsyn obit is 8 pages long.
- McCain makes his first visit to the internet, which, according to corrupt Senator Ted Stevens, is a series of tubes.
- Iran’s scientists may be on the verge of developing nuclear ballistic missiles, but they suck at photoshop.
- And in case you missed Trinity Day, here’s some background information on the detonation of the first atomic bomb.
- Beginning 9 August, The Orwell Trust will publish George Orwell’s diaries online, 70 years to the day after he wrote each entry.
- Bowser’s minions stage a mutiny.
- Typefaces have a conference to discuss membership requirements. Much funnier than it sounds.
