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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
