POPSThe last, best day for newspapers I used to work at the Post and it was exciting to walk by the office yesterday and see a line of people clamoring for the paper. But I think it's the last, best day for the printed paper. I wonder if the Post will ever sell so many copies again? People like souvenirs of history, but how often does history happen? Before deadline? And able to get on the front page of the paper? It's just not that often. When it happens again in 10, 15, 20 years, will the lines be as long? I'm optimistic about the future of journalism. But I think the physical printed project, though probably not destined to go away completely, is still set to decline in numbers for very many years.

POPS15 Firefox Add-ons Suggested Johnathan's is a blog about software. It's worth a skim through the Archives. From this article, I found several Firefox Add-ons that I will be trying, including: " * Tab Mix Plus – Adds a host of helpful options for displaying and managing tabbed pages. * ScrapBook – When you don’t have time to read everything, ScrapBook saves the entire Web page and its linked page (you choose the depth) for your future perusal. * Google Notebook – one of several competing add-ons that enable you to clip, collect, organize, and annotate Web pages or parts of them; essential for researchers." A Clipmarks competitor?

POPS50 Ways of Being Romantic With Little Money
# Take a nap together. # Kiss slowly, touching his or her back and neck and nape — slowly. # Make a list of everything you love about him or her. # Write a love letter. # Clip or email things that make you think of him or her, every day. # Go to a movie, ignore the movie, and make out like teen-agers. # Groom yourself, and try to look good for your partner. # Take some quiet time and talk about your day. # Write little notes, one for each way he or she drives you crazy. # Feed each other grapes. # Recreate your partner’s favorite romantic movie scene. # Pretend you’re going on a first date — show up at the door with flowers, all dressed up, with your car washed and cleaned, looking spiffy. Recreate the first time. # Create a little box with a bunch of your partner’s favorite things inside. # Paint each other with flavored body paint. Be creative! # Try some sexy role-playing. Get dressed up, be daring, have fun. # Give a little token to your partner to wear, and say it’s
