Okay, I’ve never been a proponent of digital cable, despite never using it. I always was of the opinion that satellite TV services were far superior and that cable was crap. While it may be true that satellite gives you some advantages (depending on how well equipped your local cable outfit is), I [...]

Most people simply wouldn’t buy the product again, but this lady apparently has a retribution complex — she’s suing Kraft Foods because their guacamole dip doesn’t contain enough actual avocado for her taste. Whoa, imagine that — a processed, prepackaged dip product that doesn’t actually contain fresh ingredients. Did you just emerge from [...]

Today was really something — but not in a bad way. While I was submerged in nonstop activity throughout the day, the good news is that it was all positive.
To begin with, I got an early start (well, 8:30 a.m. for me is early) in case any phone calls came in from the office. [...]

Not ours, at least. This time, it’s an HOA in Pagosa Springs, Colorado, which has ordered resident Lisa Jensen to take down her holiday wreath that’s shaped like a peace symbol (pictured at right). The association is using a covenant that bars signs “that can be considered divisive,” after a handful of residents [...]

I thanked them and figured [...]

I’m about to make the biggest upgrade to my home theater since I added my Toshiba 57HDX82 back in September of 2002. (I’d get all high-tech and link you to a vintage post about it, but those were all buried with my other purple site. Sorry.) Today I ordered a complete HTIB [...]

Happy post-Thanksgiving Friday. If you are enjoying a four-day weekend, good for you. I took yesterday off, but must get back to the grind today — and probably Saturday and Sunday as well, in the hopes of finishing a side project. Ah, the things we do for money, right?
Since Apple and I [...]

The crotchety old complainers of Naples strike again! This afternoon, our local paper posted a story on their website about the lines already forming at area Wal-Marts and Best Buys, as game heads await the midnight launch of the new Sony Playstation 3. Now, be it known that I would not voluntarily wait [...]

Okay, so unlike Pooch, it wasn’t until today that I finally got my first two gameplay hours of DOAX2 in. A day late and a dollar short? Hey, around here, who cares — because we’re gonna treat it like it’s breaking news anyway. So strap in, kiddos. Or, uh…go read Slashdot. [...]
