Windows Live Hotmail/Calendar is planning an update that will remove the banner ad from the top of the page, but until then, you can get an “ad-free” version of your calendar by creating or joining a Windows Live Group. See, every group has a built-in calendar, and when you access it, you have the option …

I happened upon a YouTube video this morning of a drunk driving “ad” (we’d call it a public service announcement, or PSA) that apparently aired by the Department of Environment (DOE) in Northern Ireland. It’s shocking, revolting…and unbelievably effective. Warning: contains disturbing images (link) As the father of a toddler, I can’t imagine anything more …
Although I’ve been (semi) regularly blogging with Live Spaces for the past 2 years, this is my first post using Windows Live Writer, Microsoft’s desktop blogging client. Being a streamlined type of guy, I never really bought into the need to use a desktop client when Live Spaces provides a nifty browser-based editing tool. But …

It's …
Gotta share this one. My site o' the day is http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ Here's a sample of the brilliance you'll find: Someone said, "Gimme a cake with Olymipic Rings on it" Though perhaps it's not the most obvious question one could ask, why did they feel the need to add quotes AND parentheses? I'm sure …
Congratulations, President-elect Barack Obama. - Greg
Unfortunately, the Jackson Browne concert wasn't a reality for me this time around. So in lieu of a concert report, I decided to post an excerpt from an interview with Browne about one of his most beloved songs, Sky Blue and Black. I've posted a copy of the acoustic version (my favorite) here. After listening to …
Here's an email that I just sent to the management of FM100 WNOX: I am disappointed with the recent ad for tonight's VP debate. The sound bites you have selected to represent each candidate seem clearly designed to favor Sarah Palin. First, Palin's quote that she's been "listening to his speeches since the second grade" …
Today is the day the Internet died. Effective today, Comcast starts metering broadband access. If you're a Comcast High-speed Internet subscriber, then expect your traffic to be capped at 250GB per month. True, that's a sizeable limit, but consider how much bandwidth is used by HD video. Who knows what we'll be downloading in the …
