Oh say MicroHoo as much as you will … it brings a smile every time. And cackling memories of other celebrity pairings like Bennifer and Tomkat. I want all the Gigli hysteria and sofa jumping this soap can bring, I love it all. I have to leave this quote, your article inspired me:

“When the puffer fish is calm, these spines remain unseen. But at the instant a predator approaches, the spines immediately become visible as the puffer fish causes its body to swell. … This inflation causes the fish to take on a balloon like appearance with all its tiny spines fully extended. Although most puffer fish are small at around three to twenty inches; some species reach an incredible size of up to three feet, which makes their swollen condition quite a sight to see.”

Hi Kara, maybe I’m just getting tired of the inevitability of the Microsoft acquisition. I understand your goal to cover it to the end, and I do appreciate the other content on the blog. I will, however, be very pleased when the whole issue is resolved and more of your reporting gets spent on other topics.

Thanks for your comments and email; your devotion to your readers is why I keep reading.

Oliver:

Sorry, but it is the big story in tech right now and I am covering it to the end.

Also, just fyi, this week, I also wrote about VC Bob Davis, a visit to the Venture Summit East, Digg’s Jay Adelson, Arianna Huffington, Charlton Heston, OpenX, Hulu and Loren Feldman’s puppets. Most were long and originally reported posts with videos too.

Kara I’m hoping this comes across as constructive criticism: please, pick a new topic. I’m a big fan of the blog but the past month you’ve written hardly a thing of consequence that did not involve the word “MicroHoo.” There has to be something else on your radar and I, for one, would love to hear about it.

Thanks for your attention.
