I totally supported Charlie Ergen’s stand against Viacom last week. I’ve been nothing but happy with my Dish subscription and Charlie has consistently showed that he’s willing to fight the big boys to keep my monthly bills from inflating out of control. Dish and Viacom resolved their contract dispute yesterday, and I’m sure it wouldn’t…
Yesterday I found myself without a car, so I was stuck at home and didn’t go to work. Luckily Tammy’s mom was able to drive down with her truck and she and I went to Target to pick up some patio furniture. Tammy and I had wanted to buy outdoor furniture last year, but by…
Well I finally ditched my TDMA dinosaur from AT&T, in part because of this article, but also because the phone itself (a trusty Nokia 5165) was getting a little worn. I really hate long term contracts and monthly billing, so I’ve chosen to go the prepaid route! If monthly billing options dropped down to $10…

The group is used as guiding voices for product development and special events through ‘sneak peeks,’ and open forum discussions….
We met our new neighbors last night. They appear to be pretty cool people! They’re young like us! And they bought their house before they got married, just like us! They’re also fixing up their house in ways that we can only dream about. I’m a little envious, but they’re nice folks so it’s all…
I used to have a bunch of those handheld electronic games back in the pre-GameBoy days of the 80s. I still have five or six of them that I’m hanging on to in the hopes that they’ll be worth big money someday. The definitive online guide to collecting these games appears to be a site…
When you call to order DSL service, the first thing the phone rep will do is measure the distance between your house and the nearest phone company central office (CO) or remote terminal (RT). If you’re too far away, you don’t get to play. For example, the technical limit on 2mpbs ADSL is 16000 ft….
If I hadn’t ruined it for you just now, you might not realize that all the business about the NS-5 model over at http://www.irobotnow.com/ is actually a promo for the upcoming film adaptation of I, Robot. A blurry Flash video teasing the film reminds me of how much I like robots and how cool they…
Listen in on the 4.5 hour Disney shareholder meeting held this morning. 43% eh? Not too shabby! Let that be a lesson – no more California Adventures please!
I didn’t think Lost in Translation was a bad movie. I don’t think it deserved the Oscar for best picture though (and it didn’t.) However. Bill Murray did deserve the Oscar for best actor. Man when they announced it, you could tell that Bill was crushed. I felt so bad for the guy. I just…
