Laying It On The Line

Slashdot | Senate Approves 4-Month Delay In Digital TV Switch.

What a bunch of crap. It doesn’t matter when the deadline is. People procrastinate and will wait until the last minute (or later) to do anything. All that is going to happen by postponing the deadline is that we’ll have to live with another 4 months of complaints and crappy tv.

Just do the switch and get it over with.

Besides, when did TV viewing become a necessity of life? If a couple million people are without TV, is it really that big of a deal? 2.5 million (or even 20 million depending on which number you take) is a very small percentage of the total TV households in the us. Why should 98% of the viewing households suffer because of this?

I have changed my hosting site. I am now with Nearly Free Speech. They are a very affordable alternative for people like me who have little site traffic.

If you’re in the market for a hosting service, check them out.

Oh, if the site is a little “wonky” (to quote my buddy Scott) it’s because I’m still transferring things over. Everything should be setup soon though.

Countdown until Obama leaves office.

Piece of cake, right?

Minnesota Vikings have 17 free agents – TwinCities.com.

Yup, here’s proof that I have another career option. From this article it appears that anyone that can type can write for a relatively large newspaper these days.

So which is it? 17 free agents or 18?

You know, the only thing that makes the pain of the Vikings being bounced from the playoffs is that pitchers and catchers report in 41 days.

Yeah, I know. I’m a huge dork.
