Some Fun With MSN Spaces

with one comment

You may have missed Microsoft’s announcement that they have entered the blogging world with their MSN Spaces. However, it appears that Microsoft doesn’t want you to write about just anything, some words are censored and won’t be accepted by their submission form. Maybe this is so that people can’t use their service to write what they really think about Microsoft?!

Be Careful Where You Tread

without comments

According to this article at CNN.com :

Twice as many walkers die in traffic accidents in New Orleans, San Diego and Phoenix than in Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Boston.

Apparantly the USA is getting less and less friendly to pedestrians. Well, duh. It always amazes me that there are places you simply can’t get to without a vehicle. When the oil runs out, how will we get from A to B?

Get the full skinny here.

Branson vs Trump – no contest!

The sisters are gone from the Amazing Race, thrawted by some lousy hay bails. One to watch now is Hayden who demonstrated a few interestingly timed shirt changes during last night’s episode. Still too many models on the show though.

What was Andy thinking on The Apprentice giving measly $100 ‘tips’ to the design team and denying them food until they were done. His firing was deserved just for that. Although, I really was hoping that the talentless Jen would go this time.

Finally, Ken Jennings. Was he pushed or was he just tired? I can’t believe he didn’t know the final Jeopardy question. I think he took a dive. But he needs time to start spending some of that $2.5M (although the estimated federal and state taxes on that come to $1.04M!).

Ok, my life is sad.
