Here we go again

I’m no Micro$oft fanboy.

Still, the decision by the US District Court for Eastern Texas holds a lot of import for those of us who use Word.

In case you haven’t heard, that court issued an order telling Microsoft to stop selling Word (yes, Word!) because it’s ability to do XML docs infringes on a patent from the Canadian company i4i.

Okay, it’s been a while and I REALLY haven’t been paying too close attention.

Seems the place I was storing my podcasts went bye-bye and got moved to Libsyn.  Not a big deal, except that I left Libsyn because I couldn’t handle the freight and it’s still that way.

SO.

I have a new show done and ready and I’ll be looking for a new place to hang the audio files for ya.  The feed HAS NOT CHANGED.  I’m still doing the feedburner thing, albeit now with Google.

More when I have it.

He does it again

OMG.  He did it again.

Tiger wins the WGC-Bridgestone Championship after Padraig Harrington makes a fatal error on the 16th and Tiger lands his second shot within two feet of the hole.

Absolutely amazing!  That’s number 70 and he’s gotten there quicker than either Jack or Sam Snead!
