Over the weekend, Zune partnered with MSN to help sponsor MSN's Live Earth Concerts . MSN teamed up with former Vice President Al Gore and concert producer Kevin Wall to promote and broadcast the Live Earth series of concerts, which happened all over the globe: Sydney, Tokyo, Hamburg, DC, London, and NYC. Check out the videos here .

Next Thursday night (11/9), you can come to LA to check out Zune and hang out with some other folks on the Zune team. We'll also have some music there: Jason Bentley and Bitter:Sweet . If you live in the area, and want to check out Zune, email me at askzune (then type the at symbol) microsoft.com. I'll be there; let me know if you want to meet up!

First off, I know that I've been put on the academic probation list here at Blog State University. I'll know more after I meet with vice-principal Allard. (I owe Dodge credit for this line of joke. He's funnier than me) . Anyways, I wanted to show you folks the CSS tour poster. I even got them to sign it when they were here last week . (notice a familiar logo?)
