Rescue Me: A Tale of DVR Failure

Rescue Me: A Tale of DVR Failure June 14th, 2007 @ 7:52 am PDT

With the demise of the Sopranos, West Wing, and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, and with the interminably long hiatus of Friday Night Lights, the best show on television right now is Rescue Me. It has been months since the last episode aired and I had been anxiously awaiting the season premiere last night. […]

Wireless TiVo, Part 2

Wireless TiVo, Part 2 January 10th, 2007 @ 8:20 am PST

After waiting for a week for my male-to-male USB cable to finally arrive from Amazon, I was thoroughly disappointed to find that my old Linksys WUSB11 doesn’t work. Perhaps it’s because the little guy got fried sitting in the garage at some point in the last few years. Perhaps it’s because the antenna was snapped […]

Wireless TiVo

Wireless TiVo January 3rd, 2007 @ 7:33 am PST

There is a slim chance that you may not have realized yet that I am a technology geek. In case there’s any doubt, let me explain to you what’s been driving me batty for a few weeks now: My wireless TiVo system. Which one is TiVo-approved? In our two-person, two-dog, two-cat house we have two […]

Where does the year go? This one is almost over so it’s time to start doing some wrap-ups. Thanks to TiVo I have gotten to watch a ton of the tube this year, and there has been some excellent stuff to see. Here’s my picks for the top ten shows of 2006. Feel free to […]

Television:  Getting Better All the Time

Television: Getting Better All the Time October 4th, 2006 @ 5:28 am PDT

Anybody out there notice a trend? It seems like the quality of shows has suddenly gotten much better in the last two or three years. My TiVo runneth over. That’s how I can tell. I can’t remember a time since the early 90s when there were so many really, really good shows on the tube. […]

Remember sniglets? Rich Hall invented the word to describe words that aren’t in “the dictionary”, but should be. It was one of his sketches on HBO‘s Not Necessarily the News. It’s very hard to believe that was 20 years ago. There should — there must — be a sniglet that describes what happens once you […]

Deadliest Catch

Deadliest Catch April 9th, 2005 @ 5:26 pm PDT

This is the sort of thing that makes me glad I have TiVo. The Discovery Channel is starting a new series: Deadliest Catch, about Alaskan deep-sea crab fishing. The tagline is $140,000 for 5 days’ work is a job some men would die for. And some do. (I’ll ignore the dangling preposition.) How can that […]

I switched from QuickBooks to FreshBooks in 2015 and am so glad I did. Everything about their billing system is easier.
