Cartoon: Phones That Go Bump in the Night

No big writeup this weekend, folks, as I’m on holiday in France, a country probably best-known as the one-time home of Seesmic founder Loic Le Meur. And maybe as the setting for some of “Julie and Julia.”

Makes you wonder what else you could swap. Maybe DNA?

More Noise to Signal.
