According to the Motley Fool:

Microsoft is offering MSN Search users $1 million worth of prizes, including gift cards to a formidable list of consumer-centric retailers like Starbucks and Home Depot.

Surfers win if they use certain search keywords that have been preordained by Microsoft during the contest period.

Ummm… so the second that they choose “anal teen crumb-catchers” to be the winning search term, someone needs to tell me where to collect my prizes.

An artist, named Coop, has been blogging the progress of his latest painting (NSFW). It succinctly captures my interpretation of “both favorites”.

I spoke with my webhost today and they said that there was a hardware failure on the server that Both Favorites is on. They had to rollback the database to a backup from 2/9. What that means for you is that if you wrote a post, draft, or comment between yesterday and this afternoon, it is lost. There’s no getting it back. You’ll have to write it again. If you didn’t do any of those things in that period of time, you’re safe.

NSFW, this assists with cleanup. Is there a market for this? Are there that many non-commital felatists?

Shannon Appelcline (whoever that is) has a post about a gaming version of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon using Faidutti. Don’t miss the involved chart further down in the article.

Update:
From the name I thought Shannon was some uber-geek female. However, a quick Googling reveals he’s a guy. That makes more sense. Any woman should have better things to do than drawing maps of the professional relationships of a B-level bath-shunning game designer.
