Spare brain: remember that Task import requires the company name and contact name to be text, not the numerical identifiers. Makes life easier for my meetings management system, actually.

Daft, Smeille, Cocks are all for the chop. As are some of the names of the year competition. View the match off here.
Visio is expensive and very few people have it. So I should probably try these online alternatives. Certainly Lovely Charts is pretty, but you have to subscribe to use it on more than one chart in anger (fair enough, but I’d have carried on using it if I could do two charts, but will try the others first now).
Unusual for Nielsen to like any new-fangled navigation, but mega drop-downs are good. Anything “funky” that Microsoft introduces (like the ribbon in Office 2007) has been through a serious amount of user testing so should be seen as well worth considering. What other new interface elements are there in Office 2007 and Windows 7? I can think of the “peek” at hidden / obscured windows for one. What else?
Funny seeing Ciudad Juarez in the news so much: it is the basis for Santa Teresa in 2666. I hadn’t seen pictures of the US border fence before. Just shocking that we have to come to this (or the equivalent in Palestine). Haven’t we learned anything since the Maginot Line? Personal view on the drug trade: legalise with controls (a little like alcohol and cigarettes).
Can we all start making our own gadgets? Interesting to see where this fits in with the fab-your-own movement.
As Dave says, doesn’t it seem likely that Amazon will extend into the social networking business and / or buy Facebook. Scoble has the rationale.
[Update: Twitter will do for-pay business services later in the year]
Pay the Amazon Mechanical Turk six cents a person to 2,000 people to make the notes you need for your song and bingo you have a $125 song that you then own. Will they build this into GarageBand?
Some more interesting attempts to display the Bible stories to add to my collection.
