As Ken recently mentioned, there are Pepsi campuses and there are Coke campuses. (Coke the drink, thank you.) Back when I went to A&M, we had both drinks on campus, but I have noticed this change. So, which sort of campus was your school? And which one do you think is better?
Personally, I agree with Ken.
It was announced today that the Olympic choices for the 2012 Summer Games has been narrowed to either San Francisco or New York. Houston and Washington DC have been eliminated. And it leaves me wondering …
Why would you want to come here anyways? I can’t imagine summer games here. Heck, it was a high of 96 degrees today, and the next 5 days don’t show any promise of being any cooler. Heck, it won’t be cooler until late September. The athletes would melt.
I will admit, Houston has put a lot in to this. Like $1.3 billion on new stadiums. They had a pretty good plan too – you can read all about it at the official site.
Personally? I’m glad it won’t be here. Traffic would be a nightmare. Add to that the potential for us to have to pay more in taxes to support it. As if paying taxes for a new baseball and football stadium already wasn’t bad enough.
Letterman did a Top 10 tonight on why it should be in New York. They were great!

Someone dared to turn down Microsoft? Yes. HP has decided to offer Corel WordPerfect with consumer PCs instead of Microsoft Works. I used to use WordPerfect all the time, and I still use it at home. I love WordPerfect, and to this day hate Word. I gave in, because I figured that sooner or later Corel would have to bow to the pressure of Microsoft and WordPerfect would be gone. Now it seems like this might be the CPR the company has needed. A girl can dream, can’t she? For more on this, visit Slashdot. [via Lockergnome]
The H-Town Bloggers are getting together tonight at Star Pizza! It’s been years since I’ve been there – so I can’t wait! Want to come and join us?
The moment we have all been waiting for … the results for today’s vote are finally in at Big Blogger All-Star! Rusty … 31 votes. Christine … 19 votes. Serra? 91 votes. It should be noted that the last vote only had 98 votes total – so at 141 votes, I think we had an effect on the game. WHOO HOO!!!
