Come, Mister Tallyman, tally me banana

Brilliant, blue, and cold enough for the weather. I hear the mid-Atlantic is getting Maine's weather today and into tomorrow. Everybody down that way? Stay safe.

Hereabouts, the day-job is still out straight. I'm at the spot of needing to stop and think about something Completely Different for a couple minutes before re-shuffling the piles to figure out what's going on. I may not be as swamped as I feel. At least I hope that's the case.

For them what indulge, there's a new development in the Google Settlement. To wit: the US Department of Justice thinks that there are some few things that are, in its opinion, a Leetle Dicey in even the Amended Settlement. Read all about it here

The latest development in the Macmillan/Amazon slapfight shows Macmillan still in the lead, at least in terms of control over their own PR. Amazon appears to continue to be content to hide behind the lukewarm outrage of Kindle users against the Nasty Publisher. Honest to Ghod, you'd think that a company that wants to be the Biggest, Baddest Retailer on the Intertubes would have some grasp of public relations.

And? Hatchette Book Group is getting on-board with the so-called agency model of pricing, citing Macmillan's example.

Tired yet?

Just realized that the quotes are from a random generator -- which means nobody knows to what I refer . . .

Was that a postscript?

Quite possibly.
