Morning Sickness

These people are funny. It can't be less than 50 degrees outside right now, but half the CFH crew is complaining about how it's “freezing.” If your breath doesn't turn into ice when you exhale, it's not cold. If your face doesn't hurt after five minutes of being in the elements, it's not cold. If you only need one layer of clothes to feel comfortable when you're walking to work, it's not cold. What I wouldn't give for some slush right about now.

Cool stuff lined up for the show today. I'm showing folks how to create stationery in Outlook Express. I guess I should start out with a plain ASCII message, step through the stationery creation wizard, and then show viewers how they can save incoming HTML messages as stationery. If none of this makes sense, you should tune in for the full skinny.

There's no call off the top scheduled yet, but we've got a really cool consumer reporter coming in for a “returning gifts” segment. Lightning round today, and (if we're lucky) we'll do the bonus tip, too. The show doesn't seem as packed as it usually is, but we were pretty busy in the weeks before the Holidays. Yesterday's show was weird. They ran a promo for CFH while we were airing it! That was… surreal.

By the way, I'm composing this entry on my HP Jornada 565 (Pocket PC). And there's no way I'd be doing it without a Targus Stowaway; my stylus is sitting still beside this portable keyboard. I also happen to be connected to a Wi-Fi network here on the 3rd floor of my office building, so as soon as I press the SAVE button, you'll be able to read what I've written. No wires. No joke.
