I have only started blogging this month, June, 2009. At least in earnest. There is a lot to learn. It's a whole new world with Blogger, Facebook, and Twitter. I once had a website HowHotNow.com but it kept being taken down by spammers or hackers. Hopefully, Google is too technologically savvy for that to happen here.

I just learned Zemanta today.

The news today continues to be dominated by the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Michael Jackson is getting much more airtime.

It must be disturbing for Ryan O'Neal to see Farrah Fawcett's death so eclipsed by Michael Jackson's. But that's the way the ball bounces. Michael Jackson had incredible talent. Farrah Fawcett, by contrast, was famous for her good looks, and was "famous for being famous."

I found this fascinating quote today:

I do not mean to be in bad taste by putting up polls about dead celebrities such as Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, who died on the same day, June 25th, 2009. And I try to follow each and every Google guideline and all terms of service to the letter. Though, they do get to be cumbersome and long documents and it's sometimes hard to keep up with them. But all in all, Google is a great company that is changing the world.How Hot Now, How Hot Now, Jun 2009

Why polls about dead celebrities?

I do not mean to be in bad taste by putting up polls about dead celebrities such as Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, who died on the same day, June 25th, 2009. And I try to follow each and every Google guideline and all terms of service to the letter. Though, they do get to be cumbersome and long documents and it's sometimes hard to keep up with them. But all in all, Google is a great company that is changing the world.

The polls will be fascinating. I expect Michael Jackson's popularity to rise with his death, much like Elvis Presley's did. The ups and downs will be fascinating.

Michael Jackson was 50 years old.

Michael Jackson died June 25, 2009

Michael Jackson, pop star and musical genius, died yesterday, June 25, 2009. He was born in 1958 and was 50 years old.

His autopsy was supposedly completed today. Rumors of drug use, perhaps morphine or Demerol, allegedly given to him by his personal physician are swirling through the media.

Many called him "The King of Pop."

Comparisons to Elvis Presley, a musical icon who died from a drug overdose, are being made based on the rumors.

The final autopsy report will answer many questions.

I have one important question. Who made the 911 call when Michael Jackson was in cardiac arrest and why was he so nonchalant?

Farrah Fawett dies at 62 years of age on June 25, 2009.

Multiple sources have reported that Farrah Fawett died, yesterday, June 25, 2009 at only 62 years of age. She was said to have suffered from rectal cancer for about 3 years. There was recently a prime time TV special on about her fight against cancer called Farrah's Story, which aired May 15, 2009 on NBC.

Actor Ryan O'Neal has been her longtime lover and companion. They have one child - Redmond.

Farrah was famous for her looks, starring in the TV series Charlie's Angels, and for a sex symbol poster that became plastered across America.
