I just posted to the team blog about upcoming improvements to the Windows Live Mail beta.  The languages we were hoping to roll out back in December should be coming out very soon.  If they're not out by the end of this month, I'll eat...

... um ...

... this tasty, fresh Twinkie snack cake (aw heck, I'm just being realistic, this is software, after all, and the wind can shift direction without warning).

At any rate, the English speakers in Canada should be happy to know that they'll soon be able to join the crowd from the UK, US and AU.  As soon as we roll out French for Canada we'll also be able to roll out English (we want to be fair, after all).

So if you're on the list, be patient, we're upgrading servers as fast as we can.  If you're not on the list, what the heck are you waiting for?  Get over to http://ideas.live.com and sign up!

And now, a picture of my dog cross-bred with a Brewer's Blackbird:

I think we'll sleep well tonight.

Homo-erectus? No, Homo-destructus. Ugh! Grock Smash!

True to form, I was in a hurry today for no particular reason, as a result fate smacked me in the back of the head.

I took the day off today to go with Paula up to Sausalito to get some tile for our bathroom.  On the way up there we were driving along highway 1 through San Francisco when the light in front of us turns yellow.  The truck next to us wasn't slowing down so I thought, "what the heck, I'll keep going too".

There were two lights along the route with red light traffic cameras.  That was one of them.  There were two pretty flashes, one for the semi, one for me.  Great.

I guess the SF PD will be sending me a nice portrait via US Postal Service... I just hope my portrait turns out as nice as Steve's (see bottom of page).
