Someone in the blogosphere (can't remember who) had recently said they would like to see Microsoft start working with open source projects, include it in their products and yet leave it unchanged and open source, all the while contributing back to the original project. Well, they're going to include JQuery in Visual Studio going forward as well as other products. It will have IntelliSense support, too! This is great news from Microsoft and hopefully the beginning of much more support for open source projects.

My thoughts on FSU vs. Chattanooga:
- At least two of the three times I've seen Ponder audible, the play has gone for a TD. Granted, one was a very slow developing play where he had to dump the ball to Smith, but it still went for a TD. That tells me that all the comments about Ponder being a smart player and a student of the game are true. He seems to be reading things well...
- The line has been opening huge holes. While I think our OL is much better than years past, my concern is that our opponents are just over-matched. On the other hand we haven't been able to dominate the "easy wins" like this, the way we should, in a long time.
- It's nice to see us running the ball so well today (like last week).
- I like ESPNU's effort to get college students experience.
