FG retail

Eric Reynolds chez local pornographers Fantagraphics notes the impending arrival of the Fantagraphics Mega Mart, which, sadly for me, is within easy walking distance of my workplace. Happily for al, it’s also within easy walking distance of Jules Maes, Smarty Pants, and 9 Pound Hammer. Ahhhh.

Seattlest hips us to the DOT traffic maps gettin’ jiggy with the cellies.

Which reminds me, the League passed a motion last time to extend the tipsy olive branch to Seattlest honcho Dan last time. It may be too late with respect to this week’s convocation.

680 @ 199! I think perhaps maybe so!

Palm announced the lowball Treo 680 today with a street price of $199, low enough to drive my decision, once I’ve reviewed the specs. The lower-rez 320×320 screen is one issue; the press release elides mention of the OS but the screenshots appear to display Palm OS apps. The device comes with a paltry 64mb on-board memory (twice that of my dearly departed 650) and the release makes no mention of card slots.

So.

Jury’s out, but given a card slot and Palm OS I can’t think of a reason not to fork it out. Updates when I find the true specs.
