I currently have Office 2003 on my home PC. As part of a corporate upgrade rollout, I can get Office 2010 for my home PC for $9.95. I should do that, right?
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Absolutely. It's not like you have to install it, right?
(Hey, can I have one?)
Just kidding. But a few companies ago they did that for us and Project and Visio to support their project managers working extra hours. It was great.

I'd happily give out the info, but the discount code is tied to my work email address and I can only get one copy. :(

I was offered that kind of deal last year and forgot about it. I was recently wondering if my code would still work.

So, I have decided to get off my ass and actually start the blog that I've been talking about. I've been looking around at the various platforms (WordPress, Blogger, TypePad, etc.) and they all seem pretty much the same. Does anyone have a specific recommendation or warning?

Do you have any specific wants? Also, are you integrating into your own URL or website?
I don't know the market well enough to advise, but those are probably differentiators.
Man, the Swype recognition algorithm is better than SlideIt. What features does SlideIt have over its competitors? And how come Apple didn't patent this entry method? I thought that's what they do?

Nah, it will mostly be text, with possibly a pic or two of something interesting thrown in. I'm not going to use my own website (not that I have one).

Vortex,
it seems a few here love Wordpress, but I really liked posterous when I was keeping a blog regularly this summer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can you use Wordpress without a site to use it on?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dana, you can get a free hosted blog at wordpress.com, or use the wp software on your own site.
