A couple posts ago I joked about the freezing weather up north. My big mouth gets me in trouble again. Here in Dallas-Fort Worth we're now covered with ice, literally. But while I'm shivering, I'm blogging, too...Inspired by supercomputer Watson's upcoming joust with mere humans on Jeopardy, a computer geek tried a couple bazillion Alex-style clues on various search engines. Google supposedly won, which will make the parent of this blog site happy. But it was close, so maybe Larry Page and Sergey Brin better refine their algorithms a little more. The competition is closing in, guys.
The five finalists for the biggest contest in the galaxy have been selected. We're talking about Vanna-for-a-day, folks, and it doesn't get bigger than subbing for Vanna. On Wheel of Fortune's website you can sample (only visually) the would-be letter-touchers and vote for your fave. Why not give them all a chance on Vanna-for-a-week? Seems nicer. Everybody wins!
Ben and Beth will do double duty starting on Valentine's Day. That's Ben Bailey and Beth Melewski on Cash Cab, everybody's favorite taxi ride. Okay, it's my favorite taxi ride. As always Ben will prowl the highways and by-ways of Manhattan at 6:00 PM Eastern, while Beth tools around Chicago at 6:30. I'm honestly interested in how Beth will manage her voyages. Sure, anybody can ask the questions, but can she mug for the camera like the rubber-faced Benjamin?
