I'm not sure what to make of this analogy in an otherwise sober article about a new 3-D gene atlas of the brain:

"We've captured 85 million images. That would be like filling 20,000 iPods!"

I suppose it may be true, but it seems kind of a sad way to put it. I wonder which iPod model? I suppose it's better than "that would be like filling 2 bajillion barbie drives!"

California Corporate Headquarters, Compliance Division

I got a letter addressed to my corporation a couple of weeks ago. It looked like a very official California state government form entitled Annual Minutes Disclosure Statement CA-FORM AMDS-03. It requested to be completed and sent back in along with $150 and a copy of my annual minutes. I started to fill it all out, but I became suspicious. Sure enough, it's not something actually required by California. It's just a company that charges you $150 to keep a copy of your minutes on file (something you can of course do yourself).

Be aware, the address for the company is:

California Corporate Headquarters
Compliance Division
2443 Fair Oaks Boulevard #539
Sacramento, CA 95825
