Blogger bugs, free furniture, swim teacher, speeches, apple news

I used the wrong font in last time's post, but can't correct it. I've been having trouble with Blogger recently where it doesn't let me edit past posts (just get a blank editor screen). Don't know if anyone else is having that issue.

Today's news:

• Furniture store offered deal of free furniture if the Bears shut out the Packers, and guess what? It happened. They are honoring the promotion. The article says that insurance will cover the $300,000 loss (not sure how that works).
• Want to learn to swim without getting wet? Try this old mechanical swimming teacher.
• Bush accused of using 9/11 speech for political reasons. He is a politician, so how is this different from any other speech?
• Apple unveiled several new products/services today including movie sales on iTunes, game sales on iTunes, new incremental iPod releases, and a smaller iPod Shuffle (careful to not lose it!). Also some mention of their new iTV product coming later. I got the new version of iTunes today and it has some cool new features. I'll have to play with it some more to see if it is more than eye candy (or iCandy, as it were) additions.
