- It’s feels like a swamp here at Casa NewMexiKen this morning. Used to afternoon humidity in the single digits, this morning’s 23% is oppressive.
- I see Sak’s has re-established its petite department after an ill-considered dropping of it several months ago. No word yet from Neiman’s or Bloomingdale’s, but a small victory nonetheless.
- Apple is negotiating to sell movies on iTunes for $9.99. There may be a deal by fall.
- IBM and Georgia Tech have developed a chip that operates at 500 gigahertz (250 times faster than the one on my iMac). One problem, it only gets that speed at 451 degrees below zero. (It’s still much faster than anything common today, even at room temperature.)
Say what you will about soccer, and NewMexiKen has mixed feelings, it is the most photogenic of sports. 
Update: The humidity dropped to 19% during the time I finished this post (and 9% by noon).
