Today, WordPress got its announced update to the 2.6 version. Although this update was not scheduled now, I can say I’m impressed by the new features. Bloggers will cheerish this new version and WP’s functionality gets better and better with every new update.

There isn’t much time left until the Beijing Olympics and for all the business travelers out there, we got some good news. The Olympics will be brought to you online for free by TVTonic, who partenered with NBC Olympics.
Another good news is that, if you happen to miss your favourite Olympic event, you can watch it any time even if the event has taken place. TVTonic works best with Windows Media Center or within Interner Explorer (I wonder why Firefox isn’t included). Putting aside the irony, I think we can put our recorders to rest during the 2008 Olympics, TVTronic offering us the perfect service.
