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 of it, but here goes
They also has videos of the Show Openings.
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. I find that funny, that a creature that does not exist is listed as a n endangered species list, hay lets add dragons to the US’s 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 called the iHome. This radio has a dock connector for the iPod, and 2 external antennas (one for FM and one for Am) I will admit I have been wanting one of these radios for a while, but I could never bring myself to spend the money on one, and today I got one from my parents (Thanks mom and dad I love it) This thing is sweet, I have not gotten to use it much since I just got it, and just set it up, but it is going to be great. I also don’t have to worry about the battery on my iPod going dead during the night, the iHome will charge the iPod also as it plays music from it, via the dock connection. I got this iPod 2 years ago from my parents as a Christmas gift, and I use it all the time, and now I am going to get even more use out of it because of this new gift the iHome from them.
They also got me something called TuneTraveler this is a portable speaker for the iPod, this will be convent for times I am out of town over night, but with it I will have to remember to take the iPod’s charger with me since the TuneTraveler does not charge the iPod when you use the iPod with it.
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:
Another good (but stupid) movie is “Killer Klowns from outer space”. The 80’s was a good decades to grow up in.
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, that we support, web sites.
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 my ISP’s email account, instead of using my email on my web hosting company. If comcast blocks based on sorbs I will have to find some email provider (and I would be willing to pay) that does not block based on the inaccurate information (listing mailing lists that people willing subscribed to as spam, case in point yahoo groups) in sorbs. But it is now only a matter of time before email dies, thanks to both spam, and sorbs (and sorbs like scams)
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 am a victim of sorbs, I contacted all 3, my hosting company says they will look into it, but that was 2 weeks ago, I contacted yahoo, but all I got was a form reply, and Sorbs, basically said f*** you. I would love to see Sorbs go away, they don’t even do basic homework when they list a server.
Finally the Penguins win their first game. It is about time. Lets hope that they start to become a better team then they have been all year, lets hope this is a new team for the penguins and they start to win more games.
For the last week or so I can not get many stations. It is not like I have a bad antenna I have 450 feet worth of antenna. I should be pulling in the world, but I just have not been getting anything this week. I use to get almost every thing From Radio Korea to Radio Sweden; I have changed nothing, so I just want to figure out what the heck has gone wrong. I have heard talk about the Ionosphere acting up, I wonder if there is much truth to that talk, and if so if that is what I am getting hit with.
What is wrong with them?? 8 Games 8 losses. The only team in the NHL this year with out a win. I think we are well on our way of not being in the Play offs.
UPN has started to show South Park on it channel. And here in Pittsburgh I was watching one, it is the one where they people become atheists and start to shove food up their buts and crap out of their mouth. I will admit not the greatest stuff, but a bit funny. But I had a friend over today and we were watching it, and when the parts come out that have a person crapping out of their mouth they have been blacking it out with the following statement: “The scene of
The W3YJ repeater has linked up to echo link to the Hurricane net in monitor mode. This will allow us to listen to it, and still retain the use of the repeater if we need to. So if you are a ham or have a scanner tune to 443.45 to hear the news of Hurricane Wilma as it happens.
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 on TV what once was enjoyed on a scanning radio.
I do enjoy scanning the Pittsburgh Police, EMS, and Fire freqs.

I think Nintendo is make a mistake with the “game key cards” the new digital only game cards that Nintendo is doing. With the situation where more 3rd parties are doing those instead of a real game card. I will not buy a game that not fully on the disc or on the cart, which[…]
Well looking at the new switch 2 that is to come out soon, I originally was excited and was thinking of pre-ordering it. But after the news of both the system, and the games, my doubt started to set in. Then I looked at the launch line up, and found none that I wanted. And[…]
