Reconsidered my earlier MS comment, I just realized blogware the same system I currently use isn’t any better, their is no hold option for unregistered users to get a comment in. Which I would like to see from them as well.
I guess the real issue is a way not to require logins for all blog software that blocks the spammers is everyone’s problem. Or a potential opprtunity for someone.

Poor Los Angeles… left out again, left in the dust (the geek dust).
Maybe next time.

Hugh, if you need anything in the Seattle area, give a shout out. How about a Saturday morning (late) Blogger Brunch?

Okay an MS issue to ponder here Hugh, on their blogs they should be open to Typepad or have a method for nonregistered user (with anti-spam measures of course) system enabled. Why? I went to Miriam’s blog to leave my earlier suggestion on restaurant and was required to sign up to leave a comment. If MS wants to open to a wider audience, making comments easier might be a place to start.
To make it clear I hold no ill will to Miriam or MS about it, but I don’t want to be forced into signing up an MS acct to make a comment. I understand because of spam I might have an extra hoop to jump through to get there, because I don’t use their lockin, but that is reasonable. Heck I have friends who have my blog on their Livejournal feed but they approve my comments to the posts, because again I don’t have account.
Options are a wonderful thing. Food for thought.

I used to live in the SF and the Bay area for a few years until recently and I am sure that you will love it. And the MS campus is amazing
Enjoy your trip.
