Muggy morning.
Today I was looking at a couple big “No Smoking” signs at work. I work in a government office in a government building and it has been years – over a decade I’m sure, since anyone was allowed to smoke in such a place. I had to wonder – how much longer will we need these signs? (Rhetorical – we don’t need them now.) When was the last time someone in a government building – or any office, was pulling a pack of gaspers from their pocket but noticed the “No Smoking” sign and suddenly knew not to light up? Does anyone still need reminded smoking is not allowed in such places? And if someone did need reminded, would the damn sign make a bit of difference?
no spitting, no smoking (via woodleywonderworks) Not my picture, no cameras allowed where I work either, and their signs are nowhere near as quaint.

This should be pretty cool. I especially like the news later in the article that they will expand to the “long tail” of content, which I hope means more stuff on Digg that I like.
Digg is set to debut a new iPhone app, according to an interview with the news site’s founder, Kevin Rose.
The revelation was somewhat unintentional: video podcasters Arnt Eriksen and Thomas Moen were interviewing Rose during the FOWA conference in London and spotted him playing with the new app. When the pair inquired about the application, Rose replied: “You’re not even supposed to know about that…nobody knows about that”. He was, however, happy for the pair to leave the revelation in their podcast.
Separately, Digg is planning to expand to the “long tail” of content, Rose explains, serving up home pages for many different subject areas. The change could mean that Digg becomes a more reliable traffic source for publishers: currently it’s an all or nothing scenario.
