So Long Comcast!!

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

That’s it.
We’ve had it.
Collectively. All three of us.
The cable company model is so bassackwards it’s not even funny. The crap the TV stations put out and then the cable company only lets us “buy” it in massive blocks of supposedly market segmented channels.
We realized recently that we watch less than 2 hours of cable TV [...]

Eneco Tour — Vuelta Ramp Up

Sunday, August 27, 2006

The Eneco Tour was a great race with short time trials, great racing and excellent sprint finishes. Quickstep’s textbook perfect lead out to deliver Tom Boonen to the win in his hometown while wearing the world champion’s jersey was magic. It was also great to watch Eki seting a blistering pace a couple of times [...]

Deutschland Tour Pt.1

Friday, August 4, 2006

The Deutschland Tour on Cycling.TV has been a pretty good race so far, with some exciting finishes. The prologue was won by Gusev of Discovery Channel, who continues to hold the Leaders jersey and the best young rider jersey.

Big Media Hurting America

Wednesday, February 16, 2005

Theron Parlin just put up a posting arguing that Big Media is playing politics as entertainment through the Ideology Wars on so called political “debate” shows. Theron concludes, like John Stewart, that in the end they– along with the idelogues such as Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michael Moore and Al Franken — are only [...]

Painful Cover

Thursday, February 10, 2005

I listen to a few podcasts regularly — The Daily Source Code, Deutsche Welle Langsam, RevTim and Coverville. Coverville, if you are not familiar with it, is:
“A music podcast featuring the best and worst of cover songs. Presented with full legal licensing from ASCAP.”
Usually each show follows a theme or an artist or two. I [...]

Nuts!

Monday, January 10, 2005

Oh, if only this could really take place! Varifrank has created a marvelous scenario in which Gen. McAuliffe comes back and gives the Washington press corps a what’s for. A very good read:

R.I.P. CBS News

Thursday, September 16, 2004

I generally don’t post on political topics — there are enough political sites out there already — but the whole CBS memo thing…
So now after a week of insisting the memos were real, even in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, CBS and Dan are backpedaling –
“‘We will keep an open mind and [...]

Shut-Up Indeed

Thursday, September 2, 2004

This is why I watch the conventions on CSPAN:
“In the name of all that’s holy, shut up.
“When exactly did the primary goal of journalists become not talking to news-makers, but talking over them? CNN, MSNBC and Fox News boast that they’re covering an event the broadcast networks are ignoring. But they’re not so much covering [...]
