2005 NFL Sunday Ticket Spreadsheet Schedule
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) […]
The Master at Work
Uh-oh. The FCC & porn
Joe SieglerUh-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 […]
Look out Cleveland Indians & Washington Redskins

A question about Palm PDA Address Books
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 […]
He’s Dead, Jim (or Beam Me Up, God)
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 […]
US is Changing Daylight Savings Time
Just read this morning where the United States is planning on changing Daylight Savings Time. It’s apparently part of an energy plan to conserve oil. The article claims that it will save 100,000 barrels of oil per day. What’s supposed to happen is that the “Spring Forward” in April will change to the first Sunday […]
