SITE NEWS
-I was The Screen Savers tonight.  It gets rerun a couple more times if 
you missed it.  I was on about 1 hour into the show.  I covered a couple 
of stories and a custom horoscope specially written for the host Leo 
Laporte.  (http://www.thescreensavers.com)

-If you are going to do some shopping at Amazon use this link 
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/bbspot-20) and help out 
BBspot in the process.  We receive 5% of the sale price when an item 
ships.  Heck, bookmark that link and help us out every time you shop 
there.  That 5% is money that won't end up in Jeff Bezos' pocket and it 
won't cost you a thing.

-There's a new T-shirt added to the BBspot store.  Check it out and see 
if it's the one you wanted.  Also we've restocked the store and all 
shirts are now available in all sizes from medium to XXL.

-Also added a movie section with my Top 11 movies I'd like to take to a 
deserted island.  Check them out and see if I have good taste or not.

-I think the number of sites with pop-ups is now in the majority.  I 
just went to The Onion, Yahoo, Amazon, CNN etc. and got a pop-ups.  Here 
I am not even letting a "shock the monkey" ad on my site and these guys 
are throwing pop-ups at people.  Makes me wonder.

-Last week's poll was "Favorite Free".  Free Beer wins.  I guess that 
shouldn't be surprising giving certain British readers of the site.  You 
know who you are.  Stop by on Friday to check out the new poll.
