Redmond, Wa. - In a statement released today by Microsoft, the software giant announced that it will begin the planned phase-out of Greg by the end of 2008. Ironcially, the statement comes on the 34th anniversary of the product's initial launch.  Greg has been a stalwart Microsoft program since the early days of Windows 3.0 and …
Mesh it up
If Microsoft has its way, the NBT (next big thing) is going to be Live Mesh, which is nothing less than a platform to integrate and organize our digital lives. At present, it's a file sync tool at the tech preview level, which should not be confused with SkyDrive or FolderShare, which are two other, …
Happiness is…
I usually don’t even read this sort of self-help, new age, Oprah-esque crap but this one is different. In fact, it is a very logical and rational reaction to the very drivel that I (and I suspect most of you) try to avoid. If you do take the few minutes to read the blog entry, …
Can you hear me now?
Wow, nothing for 2 months, and then 2 posts in the same day. It's practically a record. Â I'm going to try something different on Greg's Space: we're going interactive. See, my mobile phone is almost 3 years old (in mobile phone years, that's like 21 years). It's a crude device that operates primarily via …
Flippin’ sweet
I've meant to update the ol' blog for quite some time, but I guess I haven't had much to share. And I believe that if you don't have something useful (or at least mildly humorous) to share, you really shouldn't bother polluting the Web with your tripe. Â This morning I stumbled across a nifty …
Take a bow
After seven seasons, the comedy Scrubs airs its final new episode tonight on NBC. Even though the NBC execs decided to quietly end the series with none of the fanfare of other sucessful shows, such as Friends, Frasier, and Will and Grace, I hope everyone will tune in and give the talented cast and crew …

La vie bohéme
It just occurred to me that the 90's TV series Friends is basically a sitcom version of Puccini's opera La Bohéme, without the tuberculosis. What other implications does this have on other TV favorites? Is Knight Rider really Don Quixote?  - Greg
Don’t panic
Yesterday afternoon, Logan, Ginny, and I attended a most unusual Easter egg hunt. Given that Easter was 3 weeks ago, I suppose it was just an egg hunt. Anyway, what really made it interesting was the theme: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. There was THGTTG-themed food, entertainment, most folks were dressed in bathrobes for the …
You damn, dirty ape!
It was reported today that the government was finally able to pry the gun out of Charlton Heston's cold, dead hand. Â Rest in peace, Taylor. Â - Greg
