New Brunswick Tourism web page annotation folly
The NB tour-us page at http://www.tourismnewbrunswick.ca/
offers which text characters to select (not to copy, but that also would be reasonable given that HTML is hyperTEXT ?)
Characters as Text to select is how browser annotation of web pages is done usually. Displaying a URL is optional in most browsers now. So … how to make a note about visiting NB and keep that note linked to that page with one click ? ANSWER: select text characters at ?
Tip : my annotation tool uses CTRL-F12 as the note hotkey when text is selected. OneNote would make a pointless image-copy if there were no text to select. Perhaps the staff programmers do not even know that the Tx icon means "remove text formatting" — or why some browsers offer "copy as plain text."

Japanese kanji by grade: gold on indigo
The Curl applets for Grade-based Japanese Kanji were updated today.
Here is an example with both a popup menu and the FIND panel:
The gold-leaf on paper dyed with indigo motif is one that I first saw in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts collection. In fact, 'indigo', as the boundary between blue and violet, cannot be displayed on computer screens. My choice is created using HSV parameters sent to the Curl classes for Color and Background. The 'gold' is also not the www standard. Results will vary depending on your software and hardware.
