C|net is running a story saying that TiVo is going to do what I said probably would happen back on the 15th of this month. and that is move recorded TV to a iPod video. Boy can I call them.
Due to the excise spam (over 1000 a day) I have disabled the trackback here. My site is not a place for people to try to advertise their porn sites, so I have removed trackbacks from this site until further notice. I know I will have 1000’s of 404’s in my error log, but I[…]
John Dvorak (Passably one of the greatest opinion writers out there) has a entry on yet another DRM program (yet another root kit, that damages the users computers) that the RIAA is using to hurt their customers. At this point, I am save since my music is all done on my eMac, but it is[…]
I have talked about all of these in the past, but I am starting to think that apple is working hard at trying to corner the whole of the digital entertainment market. They will be there when the TiVo or other DVR companies produce a DVR that when hooked to a network that has a[…]
A friend of mine pointed me to Retro Junk. All I can say is check out the 80’s TV shows, did we really watch that stuff. they have some of the ones that I watched as a kid on it, I know when I list them some of you might get a good chuckle out[…]
Radio Sweeden is running an artical on how now it is now legal to hunt a mythical creature, apparently this mythical creature was listed on the endangered species list.

A week ago I mentioned to my mother that I wanted to get a radio with an external antenna; the reason for this was that RF reception in my bedroom is really bad. Well today for my birthday (Nov 9, 1976) the gift my parents got me (well one of the 2) is a radio[…]
Sorry about not updating my blog for a few days, but I have had other things I had to attend to. But I am now back to updating the blog.
I have been reading a lot of news stories off of the BBC about the violence in France. The way the BBC is reporting it, you would think that right now that there is more violence in France right now then in Iraq.
I just got back from hanging with some friends, we watched “The never ending story”. We got to talking about movies from the 80’s. The 80’s had some good movies. Some other good movies from the 80’s include: Tron SpaceBalls Labyrinth Another good (but stupid) movie is “Killer Klowns from outer space”. The 80’s was[…]
C-Net is running an artical on a bill in the house that failed. the bill was a good one, it would have codified that blogs are free expresion, and therefor immunize bloggers from campain fincance reform, the democrates want to regulate what is said on blogs. We might not be able to link to canidates,[…]
Thanks to sites like sorbs and things like spam, email will soon be dead. When you need email, but you don’t get it because it comes though a sever that sorbs lists (rightly or wrongly) email can no longer be trusted as a communication source. I had to move all my yahoo groups subscriptions to[…]
Sorbs has started to list yahoo groups’ servers as a spam server, so either they don’t like yahoo, or they don’t check the servers they list as spam servers, I bet MSN likes that, just add the competition to the list. And unfortunately my hosting company uses them as a anti-spam list, so now I[…]

As noted before when I first got my 3D printer I thought it would be used for some fun things but not as much use as I am using it for, it seems about 3 to 4 times a week I find another thing I can print with it to make things nicer in my[…]
Recently amazon decided to force an update on the Echo Auto, to the stupid Alexa+ I did not want it, months ago when they first tried it you could exit it. But last month they decided that they were going to force it and not let you exit or disable it. I refuse to use[…]

(Originally posted this over on my ham radio only site https://kb3hcg.radio) Well I found a good reason to have both 2m and 70cm calling freqs progreammed into ones mobile radio when traveling. I always knew the value of 2m National calling Freq, I found out that having the 70cm National calling freq also is also[…]
