Of the Apple announcements yesterday, the one I was most excited about was the addition of Numbers, a spreadsheet program, to the iWork suite. Finally, an Apple spreadsheet app. (Unless of course you remember back to AppleWorks.)

Congratulations to the good ol’ State of Maine for purchasing another 36,000 iBooks. This makes me proud to be from Maine.
“We think this is a phenomenal proposal. Now we have to sit down and negotiate the intricacies of the program,” Maine Education Commission Susan Gendron said.

More than a year ago I signed up for the AOL Feedback Loop. This is a tool for network administrators to receive notification if any emails sent from your servers are reported as spam by AOL recipients.
Some of my clients run large, double-opt-in mailing lists. Frequently AOL members click on the ‘this is spam’ button [...]
