Just like yesterday’s ARIA announcement, independent music stores say that file-sharing is not hurting business either: “The file sharing, the Internet — just makes them music junkies,” Wiley said.

A Recipezaar member, Jellyqueen, was recently spotlighted in her local newspaper. The newspaper contacted us many weeks ago asking if we could contact her since they noticed she lives in Alabama. The article recently was published and has a nice mention of Recipezaar:

One site she uses is http://www.recipezaar.com. She noted that nutritional values are listed along with the recipes. Also through this quest for recipes, you can “talk” in chat rooms about recipes and other things. She said that one day she was talking to a lady and happened to mention that her daughter’s house had burned. The lady immediately sent Langham’s daughter a box of baby clothes. Langham is amazed at how many recipes are available on the internet. “Over 80,000 are on that site, with 100 new ones added each day from all over the world,” she said. She noted that recipes are in categories: they’re for diabetics, gourmet seekers and “just plain ole’ down-home dishes”.

There’s lots of Julia Childs and Martha Stewarts out there and it’s great when Recipezaar helps them to be seen!

HP selling desktops in Asia with Linux pre-installed. I predict Dell will follow suit and all OEMs will be selling Linux pre-installed on PCs in the US soon. Tipping point?

MSN’s MoneyCentral, of all things, mentions Recipezaar as a place to get recipes to save money.

Anyone watch Aaron Brown? He’s the most wishy-washy news anchor I’ve ever seen. Instead of making statements, he hedges his bets by saying things like “It’s good news, or it’s not”, “It’s expensive, but maybe it’s inexpensive”, “It’s a nice day, or not”, “Sugar is sweet, or it could be sour”, “Earth is round, or maybe it’s flat”, etc. Hey Aaron: You’re annoying, or maybe you’re irritating.
