Gentleman Pedestrian

The other night I was about to pull into the parking lot when I saw that this guy was walking on the sidewalk, so I stopped to let him walk past. He stopped, looked at me, and gestured for me to go in first. What a gentleman! Would he have done the same if I had been a man? Should I have insisted that he go? I was quite impressed by this pedestrian.

It looks like the Messenger 7 beta is finally out. http://messenger.msn.com/beta I see they decided to go with the term 'nudge' for the feature that shakes the IM window. Before I left MS, I sent a bunch of emails with naming suggestions for this feature. Nudge was on my list. I wonder if that's where they got it from. I can't remember all my suggestions. I think I liked 'jolt' too, but it was already an energy drink. (Yahoo calls this feature 'buzz.') It looks like some of my stuff didn't make it into the beta. Bummer! That's pretty much what happens after you leave anyway. But winks got in and that's very exciting to see. I hope they come out with some new free content!

See? There ARE a few nice guys left in the world. Very few, but not completely extinct. ;)
