I'm loving the new MSN Messenger 7. Now officially out of beta, you can show what music you're listening to, set a personal message, get better integration with MSN Spaces and more.

My family is encouraging me to do more personal blogging of our young son's life. There are so many little things he does that we are amazed or humored by on a daily basis and then promptly forget in the bustle of being adults. My wife set up an MSN Space for family and she's started blogging.  It's official- blogging is mainstream in the Alexander household.
