The Newest Industry World Tour picks up again with a trip to Minneapolis on Wednesday and Thursday nights (August 24-25, 2005).
Any Twin City bloggers that want to grab a drink (non-alcoholic in my case) or a meal (substantial in my case), drop me a comment.

Effective immediately, The Newest Industry is on hiatus.
Most readers are not aware that for most of my life, I have fought a constant battle with depression. Thankfully, my symptoms can be effectively moderated and controlled through medication…most of the time.
Right now, for a variety of reasons I am not comfortable getting into, I am losing the battle with my illness. The canvas is blank, and so is my mind.
For those who say there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, I just found out that mine happens to be on front of a high-speed train coming toward me. And when I reach these depths, no amount of happy, motivational, power-of-positive-thinking drivel can bring me back quickly or easily.
My life has to change. I don’t know how yet, but when I come back, it will be because something has changed.
Thank you for dropping by; see you on the other side.

Ok, the Newest Industry Factory Tour, 2005 continues! With a stop in Seattle already planned for June 21-22, popular demand has forced us to add additional dates!
London: June 26, 27, 28
Hamburg: June 29, 30
Drop me a line if you will be in those cities, and maybe we can do a Blogger Meetup.
And no! I am not going for a suit! Down, Hugh! Down!
And the whole trip looks like it will be handled on BA!

I have been getting a great deal of interest in the IP-to-Country data that I have been working on over the last few years. However, I have had to take this data down from my site.
It’s been a depressing week here in the Newest Industry Factory, and we are starting to have to dim the lights in some corners, turn off some of the machines, and [gulp!] consider other drastic measures.
To paraphrase the Bare Naked Ladies: “All this food ain’t free”.
I apologize for the inconvenience, and hope that I can re-activate these pages in the future.
UPDATE: GrabIP is now back up, but limited to 5 requests in a 24-hour period.

This is the latest browser statistic breakdown for the Newest Industry. Data is gathered using the StatCounter.com application and is updated in real time.
I will try and post this to the top of the system on a weekly basis.
Thanks to Tim Bray for the inspiration.

The Newest Industry
The Newest Industry is a genetically-modified sheep that freezes anything it touches, follows a target of your choice and can heat a small house.
Mmmmm…meat that heats!
You have to use this!
Kind of reminds me of Step Right Up from Small Change.
Others:
Microsoft
Microsoft is a bedside table that keeps you warm at night and provides an RSS feed.
google is an electronic implant! It is water-resistant!
Oh man…10 minutes of my life I will never get back…

Doc is trying to show the world that he should be in a piano band at a New Orleans brothel. [here]
The weird thing is that despite trailing Doc by 20 years, and never having a cavity, I only have 20 of my own teeth left.
Drop testing teeth at 20 mph on asphalt is not recommended by the Newest Industry Factory Supervisor…

The sudden shift upward on the part of Gecko and Safari browsers comes from the site being Scobelized on Saturday, March 19, 2005.
