Comments OffWhere I live it is Friday afternoon again and time to think about the weekend. Given that the five-day weather forecast on MSN again calls for rain and more rain, it seemed some weekend reading might be in order. I hate the fact I am contributing to th…

I never know really where Stefan will be on a daily basis, today he is in Los Angeles talking on this week’s TWIST show at 1:00PM PST with Jason Calacanis discussing Bing. For this week’s “Free T-Shirt Friday” theme make sure you tune in to watch the show for Stefan to give out the details.
One lucky winner this week will not only get a free Bing t-shirt but will also be getting a copy of Brian Solis’s book “Putting the Public Back into Public Relations.”
The winners for last week’s #FTF who sent us some great recipe searches using Bing were:
@bing Korean Bulgogi http://bit.ly/8uVDTh #FTF
@bing Light Pimiento Cheese-Stuffed Celery! http://bit.ly/4PNzX8 #FTF
If you were a winner from last week make sure you DM us at @bing with your mailing address and shirt size.
Happy FTF!

I mean really, how many of those floating planet projects did we put together growing up? I’m sure that school projects are single handedly keeping the Styrofoam ball industry in business. To be young again! Why the sudden nostalgia for science class? Aside from the cool image of the M82 galaxy on Bing yesterday, tomorrow is the opening of the new “Facing Mars” exhibit at Seattle’s Pacific Science Center which will run from January 30 – May 9, 2010. There is something for everyone at this new exhibit, I can hardly wait to experience Mars and I am sure tons of kids can’t wait to see it either.
Bing and the Pacific Science center have partnered to help bring attention to the importance of science education through a contest called “Captain Mike’s Mars Adventure” to let kids explore Mars through Bing. A few winners were chosen to join in the ribbon cutting festivities as well as receive some gifts and a donation to their school for science education. The Bing team would like to congratulate the following space explorers on a job well done:

To celebrate the winners of Captain Mike’s Adventure and the opening of the Facing Mars exhibit Bing is sponsoring admission into the Pacific Science Center for the first 200 children on January 30, 2010 – this Saturday! If you don’t manage to be one of the first 200 kids at the Pacific Science Center you can also mention that you are “Friends of Captain Mike” for $1 off of children’s admission. So grab the neighbors and classmates and head on down to the Seattle Center.
We hope that the excitement and mystery of what exists in space will continue to keep kids interested in science and in learning.
To infinity and beyond,
Kristin Meldahl
