Feedless in Seattle?

It's strange that when I attempt to add the RSS feed for this site to my Windows Live page, Live can't find the feed. It finds feeds at other blogs just fine, but it doesn't report feeds for any blogspot site.

Is this a tech problem, or is it a marketing decision?

Understatement of the Year Award

To Montgomery County, PA District Attorney Bruce L. Castor Jr., commenting on the mother who bought her home-schooled son a .22-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and a 9 mm semiautomatic rifle. The teenager tried to recruit another boy for a possible attack at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School.

"This is not the best parenting I've ever seen and she needs to be held accountable," Castor Jr. said.

My Share of the Lollies

Shelly gets the award for the best phrase of the week:

Marketing's the thing, now. Marketing and attention. Don't have to take my word for it: look at that the so-called Techmeme 'leaderboard' and you'll quickly find that no amount of hard work, quality, or interest can compete with middle aged men having petty temper tantrums because they're not getting their share of the lollies.
