I’ve been trying to get this done for a while now, but I finally managed to export all of the TV-related content from this blog and have built another site for it. TV-Reviewed was recently launched and contains most of my TV content. Some of it was deleted because I didn’t think it should ALL […]

Yesterday was rather interesting around here. Charter is the only cable company in the area and all of their services went out. Internet, TV, and Telephone. All three went down for four hours or more. Of course it wasn’t in the middle of the night when no one would notice… it was in late morning-early […]

For roughly the last fifteen years, my family has put in a garden. For a while, it slowly got smaller, but in the past few years, we have expanded it to its largest size. Putting in a garden is a lot of hard work, let me tell you. But having a tiller is a big […]

I’m not a long-time user of RSS feeds. I’ve only bothered to use them recently (less than 6 months). One of the RSS feeds I use in Google Reader is from History Channel. For a few of their shows, they have episode guides in RSS form. It’s a good idea in theory, but they haven’t […]

EA has come under fire recently for its decision to use SecuROM’s new copy protection for video games. What is so controversial about the new scheme is that for you to play the game, you need to have your PC connected to the Internet and the game has to “phone home” and authenticate itself every […]

Although I follow the news and politics, it’s never something I feel compelled to discuss here. I guess it’s because I just get tired of it after a while and don’t want to bring it up again. Well, the fact that Hillary Clinton is still trying to become the nominee has, for me, at least, […]

Two of my network cables arrived the other day. They’re of the three-foot variety, which is a little too short. I think I should have grabbed six-footers instead, but they will work nonetheless. The run isn’t all that long anyway. It’s just less cabling hanging down behind the desk I suppose. Anyway, I’ve been transferring […]

I’ve been really anxious to get my new Dell PC up and running. I don’t have my network cables yet, so I can’t connect them to the router and do anything with it on the Internet or my LAN, but I did manage to get it setup on a card table in the other room […]

It doesn’t seem like all that long ago that the Microsoft guys were dead-set against any talks with Sony about bringing the BluRay drive to their console system. They seemed to have an “over my dead body” stance on the issue, but Steve Balmer admitted that the console will be going blue this year. The […]

One of the tools Google has developed for webmasters to obtain information on their visitors [where they’re coming from, browser type, etc] is their Analytics program. I was impressed by its demo a long time ago and signed up for it immediately. It seemed to work well for a while, but I’ve been having problems […]
