I love Swype. When I bought my phone I insisted on getting one with a physical keyboard (and a damned good one). I think I've used it a total of 5 times in 6 months, Swype is way better.

What phone did you get?

If I were God. spoilered only because there may be a c-l-o-w-n involved - but in a good way I think.

Happy summer solstice. I'm charmed by but don't quite get today's Murakami Google logo.

According to Lani the writing on the ears says "Kai Kai" and "Ki Ki" which lead me to this site:

Kai Kai and Ki Ki are the names of those 2 characters, the creation of which (as well as the characters on their ears identifying them) pre-dated the creation of the foundation. So it may not be an explicit plug for the foundation, at least not any more than any Murakami art is (the blurring of the line between art, commercialism, and promotion is a large theme in his work, so much of what he does is by nature explicit promotion). But then, I suppose the foundation's sustainability goals are somewhat relevant to the interests of people interested in the solstice so perhaps it was meant to be a direct tie in.

Thanks for the heads-up, Morrigoon. I haven't been reading any Disney news for quite awhile but we're going to WDW trip in the Fall.

Background: George Clooney filmed "Ides of March" at my older daughter's college in Ohio this Spring. Lots of stories of equipment trucks and vans blocking driveways, Clooney and Ryan Gosling sightings, etc. It's a political film involving someone running for president - there was a faux campaign bus that kept blocking driveways and narrow streets. So: The film is going to open the Venice International Film Festival.
