The Best EMail from Microsoft Ever? CEO of Microsoft Steve Balmer sends a sincere and humble mail to customers, partners and competitors on what they can expect from Microsoft in the post-settlement era. Let's move on... 11:45:53 PM     Da Vinegar, Da Bomb This is the best vinegar I have ever tasted. But man it is pricey. We had it on slices of Reggiano the other night. 11:28:19 PM     Cool Job of the Day Israel Shotridge is a Tinglit member of the Bear Clan and a master carver of Totem Poles. 12:52:39 PM     Iraq Accepts, Yeah Right Look to history and how Hitler manipulated the governments of France and England as a "players guide" for how Saddam will play this out. By accepting the terms and then pushing the lines (like he did during "Inspections 1.0"), he will manipulate world opinion by making the US look extremist for trying to find an acceptable breach of the contract to hold him accountable and/or go to war. I expected him to go down the path of vanity and self destruct by rejecting the UN mandate. This approach is much more worrisome. The only acceptable outcome is the bringing of everyone in Iraq's leadership to trial for crimes againist humanity. Consider this moment in history and then this and finally this. Keep in mind that Saddam greatly respects Hitler (documented and validated by his own words) and is molded in his uncle's image, a confirmed member of the Nazi party. 10:51:23 AM     Blues on TV This is a great website to see listings of music playing on the idiot box. Here is a link to blues music programs 10:16:55 AM     Listen to Susan's new Album Susan Tedeschi's new album is really good. The new song "Alone" is getting airplay and a couple songs feature her husband Derek Trucks doing slide and leads. Check it out here 10:02:01 AM     Microsoft Movie Maker The beta version of the Movie Maker for WindowsXP is ready for download. This thing makes creating movies super easy and they end up looking great. Yeah, it's not Premier or Video Vegas, but it's free. 7:50:00 AM     Canada is Exhausted Our neighbour to the north claims it's troops are worn out and need 2 years to regroup. Keep in mind that the Canada was instrumental in the UN Balkan missions. The country has been struggling with the psychological aftermath of ethnic cleansing and some fairily serious crimes commited by their own in Somalia. 7:03:39 AM
