i've got safari here on my mac. i'm pretty sure i've seen it work. which is sort of strange since we've got IE at work... essentially the only other place i'm *likely* to've seen it.
my comment was to the effect that thanks, vanessa, for spreading the word about scott jaschik (premier journalist of the whole contingent faculty beat), with, if i recall correctly a PS to the effect that don't just reread, pass it forward (with proviso that in this case the reader will have done as i've said, not as i've done).
i tried and failed at the commenting in NFM earlier but have long (?) since lost track of whatever i wanted to say there or what about. no big deal. it's nice when stuff works...
setting up the widgets has gotten harder at wordpress (or i've gotten worse at fiddling such stuff out). i'm disgusted but not surprised. blogger appears to be somewhat easier to use but may be in the process of breaking this. what fun.
okay, it *is* fun. it's real publishing, and it's (almost) free. who am i to grumble.
as for testing for humanity (& the "gom jabbar"). the way i figure, it's like "what is jazz?"... if you have to *ask*, you ain't ever gonna know... like these crazy entities always needing my ID...
(&'m reminded of the opening bit in _blade_runner_ where they use the "eyeball test" (as i call it)... looking for an emotional response from suspected replicants.
fun & free (or almost) - can't beat that with a stick as they say in East Texas. I forget to think of it as real publishing, but then what's real anyway?

You can tell me here & now though.
I can't help thinking though that proving you're human should take more than typing in a word... a gom jabbar without consequences.
I checked - word verification works OK on Firefox but not IE
