Standing in a knitting shop in upstate NY - don’t ask - studying the walls, I spotted this label from afar on an air heating unit. Trent Reznor being one of my favorite musical artists, I was naturally compelled to take a photo.

What I didn’t anticipate seeing were the words “Mercer, Pennsylvania” on the label. You see, that’s precisely where Trent is from, and I’m led to believe that this must be the family business!

Delighted to discover that it wasn’t just a random appearance of the name as I first suspected but is instead “the” Reznor name.

Just a quick note to readers that in order to support blog submissions from my BlackBerry, I’ve finally upgraded to the latest release of WordPress. The last version was accepting my posts but not posting the entire content. At the recommendation of other users, I’ve upgraded (about time, really) and all works flawlessly.

I should make a quick note about two plugins.

As submissions from my phone while I’m on the road tend to be more whimsical and consist often of nothing more than a photo, I needed a good way to handle media attachments to WordPress via email. Alas, the built-in support is a bit finicky.

Thankfully I was able to locate and install the PostMaster plug-in (http://blog.xforward.com/?page_id=65). So far it’s working perfectly and invisibly and I can recommend it.

Not the best photo quality due to reflection, but the humor isn’t lost…
Such sophisticated humor…
