Rant: Microsoft Blog Sites

Why can't a blog about Microsoft code look remotely attractive? Are all Microsoft programmers dull, boring, and completely void of any beauty inside or out? It is only me that feels like Microsoft technology makes living life HARDER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE?

WTF is the CAPTCHA field that must be completed before posting a comment? Seems ironic when all I see are trackbacks / pingbacks posted by bots. Are all Microsoft programmers so narcissistic that they need to weave this link orgy to feel better about themselves? ... OR ... perhaps this is the evolution of MSDN, since finding anything usfull in there is like dissassembling the human genome to find the gene that makes people want to smell their own farts.
