Ditching cable TV

After our cable bill increased due to losing all discounts, Deb and I considered just how much we watch “live” TV these days.  The answer was “not much”.  We’ve decided to ditch cable TV.  This morning I made the call and terminated all TV services from Comcast.  A few hours later all of the set […]

XBox 360 – so much love, so much hate

It happened *again*.  Our XBox 360 died with the ring of 3 red lights.  This is the second time in six months this has happened.  Unfortunately, this time it was out of warranty, so I’m out $139 to get it repaired.   We use the XBox 360 pretty much every day.  Not so much as […]

Great short video – Shift Happens

I picked this up off of Joe Healy’s business blog.   What a great video!  Everyone should watch it.  For those of us who have been around for a while, it just drives home that what we’ve seen so far is nothing compared to what’s coming!    My first home computer had 4k of memory […]

Computers in movies

Through Digg.com I found a link to Annoyances.org The use of Computers in Movies list.  This thing is dead on!   A couple of my favorite items (not in the list):   In the movie Hackers (so bad I watch it every now and then just to laugh at it), when the main guy asks […]

Solid|Drive desktop – a neat idea!

I saw the Solid|Drive Desktop device on a Microsoft Channel 9 video on the "house of the future" in London.   The Solid|Drive device is just a hockey puck looking thing that you place on your desk (or in the video, your kitchen counter) and the surface that it’s resting on becomes a speaker.   It’s pretty […]

Is Wired now a lifestyle magazine?

The latest issue came bundled with a "Fashion Rocks" magazine supplement.   This is on top of the frequent GQ type inserts that come in the plastic wrapper.   Hey, guys running these promotions – forget it – while geeks might be aspirational, I’m pretty sure most of us aren’t going to be reading Fashion […]

The E-Ring TV show – some potential, lots of irritants

A friend of mine recently recommended E-Ring as a show worthy of watching.  I told him that I didn’t want to get addicted to any more shows, as our MCE system records more than we can watch anyway (we don’t watch that much TV).   Well, in any case, a few day ago Deb and […]

The moon landings were faked!

I first saw this site years ago and lost it.  I’m putting it in here so I don’t lose it again.   Examine each picture in each panel very carefully for all the gory details…
