What a day. The day for me started off with breakfast at Minnie's (I had the Benedict) I handed out Zune devices to all the winners. (both from Crunchgear's contest and from the Secret Machines Myspace contest ) and gave a little demo. Then it was off to the Monorail for a private ride to the Seattle Center, where the Secret Machines played. KEXP's John Richards (John in the Morning) took the stage, and introduced. . . Bill Gates! John sent Bill a playlist, one that he made - and one that you can...

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!

For everybody asking, you can now go to Zune.net . You can also go see Lion and Gazelle: (CSS rocks) Soon it'll go live at Zune-arts.net . And hey, did anyone see this poll ? Interesting. . .

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?)
