SPOD

Management status report of the day: back from the dustbowl and ready to blog!

In the course of a cautionary tale of font caches, John Gruber calls the Mac OS X spinning beachball SPOD a “Spinning Pizza of Death.”

In rumor news, crazy people expect a two-button mouse, though even the folks at Slashdot could tell you that won’t play in Peoria.

In iPod Shuffle news, see a crazy man put a shuffle inside his headphones to create … Shufflephones!

    Okay, thanks for the graphic. I actually sat here for a minute waiting for the SPOD to go away then noticed my mouse cursor sitting in the corner of the screen. Doh!!

    It’s not the Spinning Pizza of Death unless it’s spinning.

    It doesn’t spin for me. It is a gif, so spinnage is theoretically possible…
