News: The writers strike

The WGA strike is entering its second week, and to be hoenst, I haven't even noticed. I mean, it's not like Breda or James or Tam or any of the other writers I actually read are on strike. I can't even remember when I last followed a primetime network TV show, either. I do admire the WGA, though, for its prescience - TV as we know it is going to radically change in the next couple of decades, and it would suck to be left out in the cold.

It did get me to thinking, though - what exactly are my rights to Shangrila Towers? Let's see:

Not as bad as I thought, but I wonder if Google will provide a backup copy of my blog if they ever stop providing Blogger?...
