Watch for live blogging of McMorris Rodgers town hall today
Mid Columbia Tri City Herald
Cathy McMorris Rodgers is having a town hall meeting on health care reform this afternoon in Walla Walla.

Engineers at IBM have been developing a TV remote control that can be programmed to auto-blog while you watch whatever it is you want to watch according to the patent filing. How does it work? Let’s take a look at a snippet from the patent filing which was submitted last year but didn’t show up online until April. A viewer selects a media program to view by use of a remote controller with networking capability. Upon the viewer wishing to send a blog posting to a blog the viewer determines whether a tag to be included in the blog posting is to be a pre-existing tag or a custom tag wherein the blog posting comprises program information about the media program useful to identify the media program.

Actually Leyba told me he was less than enthused. I countered saying we were gonna dominate so long as we taped up our thumbs to stave off I-Berry blistering. Anyway as I look over at Leyba now I can tell you this much: He might not have suffered the bummer that Travis Pastrana did but he is a wreck (his thumbs though are intact).

The FTC issues guidelines aimed at protecting consumers from false advertising across all media.
