Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Last Thursday a new version of this blog software was released. I won’t bore you with the details of what’s new, as most of it isn’t of any interest to you, the reader. What is important is that I’ve decided to take this time to revamp the look of my blog. The backend code that […]
Since I live in Dallas, and have the hell of living in Cowboy land, one majorly huge lifeline for me is the NFL Sunday Ticket package on DirecTV. It allows me to watch pretty much whatever game I want, so I get to see all the Eagles games, and Steeler games (my wife’s from Pittsburgh) […]
Uh-oh. This can’t be good. Not that I’m advocating sexual stuff where it shouldn’t be, but this move just strikes me as something that could be really bad. Penny Nance, who describes herself as a religious conservative and has been a vocal opponent of racy images on television, has been hired by the Federal Communications […]

Well, technically it’s still here, but it’s going to be come one of those things that will exist in name only. TV Guide will no longer be carrying TV listings. Uh, what’s the point of it then? Not that I’ve subscribed to it in awhile – it’s been many years. But isn’t a magazine called […]
Some time ago I updated my Palm Desktop software to the current version (4.14). I recently noticed that it has the ability to have multiple addresses per contact, so I set about updating my addresses so that they were properly in Work vs. Home. That was all nice. However, when I go to sync, if […]
James Doohan, who is probably best known for his role of Scotty on Star Trek, died today at the age of 85. There’s an obituary story up on CNN here. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s awhile back, and was in declining health for awhile. If you bought the third season box set for the original […]
