Music, mail, and maps

Finally, a couple of recording majors are getting smart. Pressplay, a new service from Sony and Universal, lets you burn downloaded music to CD's and copy it to portable devices. It's subscription-based, of course, but still... Speaking of institutions, the US Postal Service seriously considered offering E-mail in the past, all the way up to owning the service. Here's the history. In other 'Net news of note, this interactive atlas will no doubt show up in global warming arguments for some time to come. Hopefully, the athletes at the Commonwealth Games won't need to look at that atlas to find their venues, but they sure are finding other uses for their access to the Web.

I know there are some asthma sufferers among you. There's some new research regarding inhaler usage.

Finally, why am I getting 2003 calendars already? It's August 1, for crying out loud!
