Now the Detroit News is coming out with a Web site redesign. Thoughts? Who's better: Freep or News?

Despite the team's 1-2 record, I'm super-duper excited about MSU's basketball season. These early losses are meaningless, and only serve to put fire in their bellies come Big 10 season. Goran Suton, who hails from a Lansing city high school that produced another memorable Spartan (no, not me), should take his missed layup in the Gonzaga game to the bank and use it to inspire him for the rest of the season.

Speaking of MSU sports, Joe Rexrode recently wrote an incisive piece the team's football program. The page was shown on TV during the Penn State game. Worth a read.

Cousin Caitlin is due from Arizona tomorrow for a Thanksgiving family microreunion. She's taking time out from hanging out with cadavers at massage school to eat turkey with Cuz Craig.

My favorite new birthday CD so far? Beulah's "Yoko." I might have to return to Amoeba, though. I just remembered I want to stock up on classic Shadowy Men From a Shadowy Planet.

What's everyone thankful for? Here's my short list: Coach Izzo, California weather, Hudsonian patience with my extended residency here.

I really think the Freep's new site is El Stinko. Leave it to the Diamond G to ruin everything.
I agree with Hud. After using it for what, close to two weeks now, it's safe for me to say that I hate the Freep's new site.
The News website, eh. Too early to tell. I always disliked the old one, so my expectations aren't all that high.
Happy Thanksgiving, Gaines and Huds! And everyone else out there.
I am thankful for Rocketfever and other blogs set up by friends I had lost touch with. Also I am thankful for:
- Tom Izzo
- Snews Vegas trip
- Bill Murray's second career
- The first Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP
- Ben Wallace
- Portteus Vineyards petite syrah
- The graduation of Oscar Mazariegos
- My dad
- My mom
- Your mom
- "Fishing With John"
- Elmore Leonard
- Pierogi
- Spotty living through Hurricane Wilma (barely)
- My hot-ass girlfriend
neither site is good. the term "redesign" shouldn't refer to new technology driving the site in the back room. and given the success of sites such as progressive.com, nytimes.com and espn.com in the usability arena, the freep.com and detnews.com staffers clearly purposely IGNORED those sites when they came up with the new skins.
shameful.
