When the Tigers Broke Free
I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan for a very long time. I bought the Wall when it was new, which was right around the time I started High School. As a kid when this was new, that album was very influential in my musical landscape. I’d heard of Pink Floyd before, but it wasn’t until […]
Gas Station Video Screens
I’m driving home from work tonight, and I pull into the usual station I fill up at. I had just gotten my truck washed earlier in the morning, so I didn’t need to clean the windows. So I’m just standing there killing a couple of minutes when I noticed that little lcd display on the […]
ESPN heads towards the Dark Side
I read this story this morning, and it signals to me the end of ESPN. Why? The article talks about having “less games”, and more original movies and series. That’s the exact path MTV started down ages ago, and now they’re completely irrelevant. Their name has nothing to do with their programming. If ESPN starts […]
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
This is not a review of the movie. It’s a few remarks about what happened when I went to see the movie – you can read this if you haven’t seen the movie, I’m not talking about the events in the movie. Well, I went to see the movie with the staff from my company. […]
Lynn’s clothing adventure
You know, since Samantha was born, I’ve had a chance to observe Lynn’s maternal behaviour. She’s been sleeping in the baby’s room – partially out of the fact that we don’t want to disturb her C section incision, and partially so she can be closer to the baby. Lynn sits in a rocking chair and […]
Movies I plan to see
I have on my Palm a list of every movie I’ve seen in the theatres since 1997. When I looked at that entry recently, I realized the last movie I’d seen in the theatres was the Incredibles last November – saw it twice there. So I decided to look forward and see what I was […]
It’s TC, everybody!
It’s your pal, it’s your compadre, it’s TC everybody! Check out The Daily* Dementia.
Figures. It just figures
I just read that the Ultimate Electronics store is pulling out of the D/FW area. These guys installed my home theatre system, and I couldn’t have been happier with their service. This is a major annoyance to me. This past Christmas I had my eyes on a really good DLP HDTV system, but ended up […]
Will you spend an hour with me?
This will be something different in my blog, as I don’t think I’ve written about this subject matter before. Generally I write about TV, music, things that are irritating me, but today, I wanted to write a little about something that’s a little more serious; I’m writing about religion. I don’t know who will be […]
TiVo & Nielsen
I’ve been a TiVo owner for ages. I’ve loved my TiVo for ages. I still love it even though it’s been sucked up and probably left out to dry by DirecTV. But that’s a gripe for another session. I read a pretty interesting article this afternoon talking about how TiVo (the company) can save itself. […]
