More than 1,000 American TV stations will end their analog broadcast signals and transition to digital signals today
They are joining about 760 stations that already made the switch since February. Congress decided to waste some more money and push out the deadline so they could spend another $650 million to educate the ignorant consumers who are still unprepared.
To prepare, users need to either sign up for cable or get a converter box. The FCC estimates that 12 per cent of Americans are still unprepared. I have no idea where they got those numbers and wonder if anyone in authority will follow up in a month to verify their chicken little forecasts.

Not sure how much demand there is for a version of Myst to be played on a cell phone, but it’s been released with big promises of people clamouring to play. How do these people afford all that air time? How do they keep their phone batteries charged up? Where are they that they have [...] [...more]

Not sure how much demand there is for a version of Myst to be played on a cell phone, but it’s been released with big promises of people clamouring to play. How do these people afford all that air time? How do they keep their phone batteries charged up? Where are they that they have to play on their phone instead of a computer?

A friend sent me this in an email. I’ve never heard of Bent Objects and wonder what it is all about? I mean, the photo is funny as hell. But is there more?

I saw a full ad on cell phones this morning’s paper. I am waiting for my cell phone contract to expire next month then I can get a new phone. I saw a blackberry smartphone for much less than it has been usually advertised. There are so many choices on cell phones and it is getting harder to decide which one is the right phone for me. New phones have a lot of features and tend to be more expensive, as well as the service fee. The lure of a new cell phone is calling me.

My sister, Mickey lives in the rural part of Minnesota and her husband and sons are avid paintball players. They play in their backyard which is mostly swamp and trees. Last week, she was so excited and called to tell me that while her sons were playing at night in the backyard, they heard a siren. The police were looking for a burglar who ran through their neighborhood. Her oldest son put on his night vision binoculars and was able to spot the burglar among the trees in their backyard.
Mickey said that she was glad she bought her son a pair of night vision binoculars. Her son asked her for a pair of night vision binoculars that he can use to play at night in their backyard. He likes the Bushnell night vision binoculars because they have a rugged and compact
design. They have high quality night vision optics and a built-in infrared illuminator for sharp and clear images in very low light.
She bought the Bushnell Night Vision binoculars from the website called, “OpticsPlanet.com”. “OpticsPlanet.com” has the best deals for night vision equipment and gadget. They offer a huge selection of quality night vision goggles, and night vision binoculars from various name brands such as Bushnell, Konus Night Vision, MoroVision, and many others. They also offer free ground shipping on all night vision goggle and binocular models.
