No iPods for you!

A co-worker e-mailed this…
From CNN and AP:

The Bush administration wants North Korea’s attention, so like a scolding parent, it’s trying to make it tougher for that country’s eccentric leader to buy iPods, plasma televisions and Segway electric scooters.
The U.S. government’s first-ever effort to use trade sanctions to personally aggravate a foreign president expressly targets items believed to be favored by Kim Jong Il or presented by him as gifts to the roughly 600 loyalist families who run his communist nation.
Kim, who engineered a secret nuclear weapons program, has other options for obtaining the high-end consumer electronics and other items he wants.

At least he can still have his soup.

A co-worker was asking about eye strain today and getting an anti-glare screen for his computer.ex

When doing these exercises, make sure that you’re not facing anybody, or that they know you’re doing eye exercises. Otherwise they might think you’ve gone nuts.
