Something that’s been lacking for quite some time now in this digital age is the acknowledgement of the format/idea by many established companies and providers of content. Specifically TV networks. In this day and age, the word “Bittorrent” is the word of choice for people who want to obtain things fast and quick (and most […]
In a move that is annoying, yet not unexpected, UPN has formally canceled Star Trek Enterprise. The current Star Trek TV incarnation has suffered from low ratings, and lack of promotion by UPN, but has had a marked upturn in quality, so it makes it all the more annoying for fans who really liked the […]
Shortly after my wife and I were first married in the fall of 1996, we heard of a TV series to air early in 1997 starring Larry Hagman. Dallas had ended in 1991, and other than a (really great) Dallas reunion movie he hadn’t done a whole lot. So when I heard Hagman was not […]
When I sat down at the computer this evening to start reading about my Eagles getting to the Super Bowl, I saw the headline that Johnny Carson had died. That kind of bummed me out. I’ll be 40 in August, and when Carson had retired, I was 27, I had been watching him for awhile […]
I personally have no real interest in this show. However, I know a few people who read my blog do. Apparently there will be DVD’s of this show released later this year. Here’s some more info. Hi Chana! :)
In a followup to my G4/TechTV rant from a week or two ago, I read today where TechTV can now officially be labeled dead. It’s been unoficially dead for months now, as G4/Comcast bought it out, and the castrated it to the point where it might as well have not been alive at all. However, […]
Well, there’s only two shows left on G4/TechTV from the old TechTV days. Screen Savers and Xplay. Everything has has been cancelled, and everyone else fired/let go save for a few random folks, plus Adam & Morgan. And Screen Savers is a sham, it’s got nowhere near the intelligence and knowledge that it used to […]
Heart of TARDIS (Doctor Who Series) by Dave Stone Tonight I was looking through my nightstand in my bedroom for something, and realized what a horrifically large number of books I have on the “to read” pile. It’s taken up the entire lower drawer of my nightstand, so many that nothing else can fit in […]
A couple of years ago, I loved the TechTV channel. It was a good channel for people who knew computers, and weren’t mental zeroes when it comes to operating theirs. They had a few fluff pieces, but overall, it was a good channel. It was founded by Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft. […]
I got my first TiVo around May of 2000. I’ve been a TiVo fanatic for a long time. I’ve gotten several friends and family members to buy TiVos due to my love of it. In fact, I’ve had three different TiVos over the years, with a fourth (the High Definition DirecTV model) due shortly. However, […]
