This is good news to those that have been waiting! Writely is now open to new registrations. Techcrunch has an interesting column about the affect that Google may be having on other online office solutions, specifically related to this week’s announcement of Kiko shutting down service.

Hey! If you blog, I feel you need to try out Windows Live Writer.
Microsoft has IMO, a killer offline blogging tool. It does everything I wanted in an offline editor, and the tie-in to the Windows Live Toolbar is incredible.
WLW works with WordPress, Blogger, Moveable Type, and LiveJournal in addition to Windows Live Spaces. The functionality is at the right level, and allows you to preview, create drafts, store drafts online/offline, and work with pictures, maps, fonts, and colors right in the interface.
It also has my most desired feature – a spell checker built right in. While still in beta, it feels like a shipping product, and I’ve covered only a fraction of the features of this great freebie from MS.

Posted using Windows Live Writer!
Well! Microsoft comes along and does it again. This morning on Geekzone, I found a post about Windows Live Writer, an offline blog post editor. I’ve been looking for something like this for some time.
This post is created using the new tool. I’ll post more shortly with my thoughts and such.
Well, talk about pleasent surprises – T-Mobile Sunday released the AKU 2.3 firmware update for their MDA. You can find more information about my MDA here, but if you want to download the new firmware yourself, go here.
The update includes the long-awaited push-mail update and support for Bluetooth stereo audio (A2DP). Watch for more info – I’ll be upgrading tonight!

Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
