I saw Bill Gates on the news tonight demonstrating his new mouse product. (Yes, the state of commercial news broadcasts is sad when a new Microsoft product counts as headline news). I was talking with a friend on the phone this evening about how Bill Gates is saying he’s going to donate 90% of his profits to charities when he retires.

This got us thinking. Theoretically, the charities could almost claim ownership on part of Microsoft. So maybe it won’t be long before we start seeing products like Microsoft World Vision Internet Explorer 6.

I’m sick today. We had some dodgy pizza last night (I didn’t really want to… but we did). I think it affected me. I had stomach cramps which got progressively worse, I had this odd metallic taste in my mouth, and I’m craving weird food.

Hang on. I’m not sick - I’m pregnant! (Well, perhaps not. I guess I’ll find out for sure depending on if I eat a chicken foccacia with ice cream and tobasco sauce for lunch tomorrow or not).
