Katie Lee Gifford worried about Mom Blogging 2008-05-14 00:22:27 I just found this interview in Today Show interesting mainly because it failed to discuss mom blogging and its concerns to the fullest, more so because I think the interview should not have been done by Katie
Lee Gifford. It’s quite obvious she doesn’t know her subject and admits herself she is afraid of computers.

American Idol: It’s David vs. David 2008-05-15 23:17:40 So I’m making a prediction. AI Season 7 winner would be David

Furniture for the Feet 2008-06-25 00:57:40 Humans have practically invented all things to get us those physical qualities we think we lack. You have short hair, then get hair extensions.
