Akismet + ReCaptcha = Spam-Free Blog!

I could say that I miss the days when my blog attracted 2000+ comments per day. But seeing as they were all spam, I don’t miss those days at all. Thanks to Akismet and ReCaptcha, I see less than a spam per day on average get through. Awesome!

This Week on “The Biggest Loser”

Just when I begin to think that my perception of Ron as the “mastermind” of this season is off-base, tonight’s episode confirms that the Brown team is really running this game. Tara may still win this thing, but with Mike and Ron both still in the house, if she slips below the yellow line, it’s over. Next week should be an awesome episode.

Biggest Loser Catch-Up

So, I’ve missed posting on the last few weeks of Biggest Loser. While I watch this week’s episode, I figured I would think about the last few weeks and catch up. Three weeks ago, Nicole came back to campus and went right back home, but not before Ron felt betrayed by the Tongan twins. The rhetoric between Blue and Brown got heated, but ultimately, it didn’t matter because… The week after that, Laura was given the sole vote at elimination by “winning” a temptation challenge, and chose to send Sione home. If you had told me Sione was going home before his cousin, you could have knocked me over with a feather. Last week, Laura went home after suffering a heartbreaking sports injury. Despite his image as the master game runner, Ron proved to be loyal to Kristin, who he voted to keep on campus up against a wounded Laura, who most assuredly would have remained below the yellow line for the remainder of her time on campus. That’s a very quick catch-up, now back to watching the current episode.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.7.1

Not expecting anything funny to come about because of it, but I recently upgraded the blog software. Just thought I’d mention it, since I’m not doing much actual blogging lately. Besides neglecting my blog, I’m also researching semantic web tech, and vaguely plotting to build my own Google Maps Mashup.
