10 for the road

I know I said I wouldn't promote future blog entries because then I am trapped into doing them, but I plan on covering some substantial territory at some point this evening, maybe while I watch the hockey game on Yahoo, hopefully soon to be Microsoft/Yahoo, given my less that stellar experiences with Yahoo to this point.

In any regard, I had not planned on this, but after checking for news updates during the show, ran into the first story and figured what the hell, let's get nine more as well.

Okay, not too shabby considering I am running a radio show while stealing this stuff.  In any regard, back later with more wholeseome goodness.
