So, I am leaving for Alcatel. Just in case you hadn't heard :-). I had thought of documenting the move here, but it is not the correct place for such things. Instead I propose
ALCAIC. Hope you enjoy it. I sure enjoyed my time at TONA!
Photonic fashion
Lumalive, made by Philips and ready for commercialization. From the article:

Hilarious

Please, don't miss the questions the police posed about the girl he was going to meet from the World of Warcraft online game...
"So you and Cara are friends?"
"Yes."
"How long have you known her?"
"About 5 months I think? Maybe less."
"Do you have a romantic relationship with Cara?"
"No."
"Do you want a romantic relationship with Cara?"
"No."
"OK, so ... if you and Cara were drunk together, and she turned to you and said, 'Tim, let's go...'"
