a Bit Uncomfortable

Sitting here with the laptop, it's a little difficult to look at all the junk that has been piled onto the Blogspot -- in an effort to be helpful and informative and attractive, just piled on the garbage.

I did have such a good time with Skype today that I want to say something about it in spite of the discomfort of trying to find my way into posting.  Ian sent me "hello world" written in parentheses -- that is, Skype reads and interprets about twenty of the alphabet characters as little graphicons.  Particularly parenthesized "j" -- a black-and-white jumping man who's just darling.

Hurrah for Skype!

Just an outgrowth of the old emoticons that Yahoo once had and Skype has honored for years, but darling.

love it!
