Okay, then. (cracks fingers) Let’s get started on my tale of woe (more like frustration) with Comcast. This is finally over and I’m now officially with AT&T. But, of course, knowing the ending isn’t knowing the story. And the story is one of customer disservice (or, why I’m not longer with Comcast). So, let’s do… Read more »
With all the political news and constant crises battering the airwaves and print, it’s hard to figure out what’s real. Everywhere is information and disinformation. And there’s rarely a moment where someone isn’t trying to explain or retract what they’ve just said. It’s no wonder there’s such a demand for a spin doctor. Now, you… Read more »
Inevitably, when we purchase something, we lean towards reinforcing our decision. This attempt to fight off buyer’s remorse grows stronger as the purchase price goes higher. With technology, there is also the obsolescence factor. So, given my new home theater purchase, how do I feel about 4K TV now? I’ve been asked that question in… Read more »
This post will not be as evocative as the haunting score or beautiful vocals by Annie Lennox. Nevertheless, I have my own saga to relate and, as it happens, it is my own “Into the west” tale. For you to understand the truly epic scope of this story, I must first set the stage for… Read more »
Not really. Well, actually, not really, not really, but that’s not the point of today’s post. Still, bear with me and at the very end I’ll give you the reason that may be why my home is turning into Skynet. A number of recent posts have led to today’s post. The story is almost complete. Since… Read more »
Welp, Comcast and I are on the outs again. Even given the tumultuous nature of our relationship, that was quick. As I’ve recently mentioned, I’ve been seriously looking into 4K TV’s. During the period between reviewing TV’s and buying one (more tomorrow), Comcast and I struck a deal. Mind you, it wasn’t my intention to… Read more »
The question is peculiar, “isn’t this what I worked for?” as it comes long after my “release” from my last job in the not-so-beloved Corporate America. I asked myself something akin to that query 7½ years ago as I was coming off my recent firing (laid off). Having taken a rare trip out of Florida… Read more »
A few weeks back, I went through a series of posts where I grudgingly admitted I have lived a reasonably interesting life. While that’s all well and good (and a needed boost to self-esteem), the fact is my interesting bits are more the product of unique or special events or periods in my life. For… Read more »
I must admit, I’ve been somewhat magnetized to the news over the past several months. And while it’s maddening the number of channels there are out there, I’ve whittled my flipping between CNN, MSNBC and FOX. There is some repetitiveness to the reporting, of course, even given the widely disparate viewpoints of those three cable… Read more »
Here comes the Super Bowl, the only program watched worldwide by millions of people…for the ads. Sure, a few also want to see the football game, but the rest are getting their munchies in between the commercials. Even now, when so many of the commercials are available for “sneak peeks” online, millions just like watching… Read more »
