OK, so why the zen bones thing?

About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.

Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.

Is the blog about Zen? Nope.

Cool iPhone Accessory
Whilst buying a new iPod the other day at an Apple dealership**, I discovered a cool iPhone stand. Griffin’s website describes it as: an “Acoustic Amplifier for iPhone” 
Actually, I was looking for a dock for easy drop-in-yank-out charging. But the AirCurve won me over - not only is it a beautifully designed stand, it has a surprising function: an acoustic amplifier. It never needs batteries or adapters.
It’s got an engineered waveguide ”horn’ that collects the sound from the iPhone’s somewhat tinny speaker, and amplifies it by about 10 decibels and projects it into the room. I wouldn’t call it hi-fi, but it’s pretty acceptable. (And looks stunning)
