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.
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 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[…]
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[…]
Wired is running an article on how the book “Police Call” is ending its publication run. They made a comment in it that I never really thought of. Scanning of the “Public Safety” bands was just the precursor to shows like COPS. It looks like TV has hurt another hobby. The show “COPS” just puts[…]
Back on the 16th of this month I had my DVR record the Vancouver Canucks vs the Dallas Stars. And I just watched it today. It was a good game, during the second period of the game the two teams go into some really good hockey. There was a good amount of time where there[…]

I guess the rumors were right. I wonder will this mean that apple will be soon selling movies though the iTMS, if they do I guess they will have to rename it to iTS (iTunes store) I wonder what the prices will be, and will we be able to burn them to DVDs so we[…]
Here is my final review of the Ohio Linux Fest. I went to 3.5 talks. One talk I was not interested in so I left half way though it, it was a good talk I just was not interested in it. The first talk I went to was the Linux Terminal Server Project talk. For[…]

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[…]

I saw an video recently on youtube where someone was complaining that hobbies have been ruined in recent years, he made his argument. I personally reject his argument. His argument is that influincers on either on Youtube or tiktoc have made it where people feel they have to spend a lot of money to get[…]
A while back my dad was going to get rid of his old telescope as the cover on it would not come off. I had help from a friend to get it off, but it does come off now. All that was missing at that point was an eye piece for it, and I found[…]
