January 2007 Archives

At risk of coming across as a bit of a hypocrite I made a few changes this year.

In the most recent past I've been writing about TV shows and making predictions about different series. So, I have to accept the fact that there are those who may view what I did as hypocrisy. Well, I've decided to throw caution to the wind and write a post about it. Since I decided to do it, I've come across a couple of articles that tout the benefits of ditching cable tv. For example, a blogger at zdnet decided he could save about $300 a year by ditching cable tv and using iTunes and netflix. I also read an article the other day about subscription television. I bring up that link primarily because it's relevant to my post a little later on and because the author states that he hasn't been a cable tv subscriber for some time.

The point at which it has become difficult to balance the cost of cable television and land line phone services offered has been reached. To be honest I reached it a long time ago and finally decided to just do something about it earlier this month. I believe, over the span of about a year I may be able to save $1380 by ditching my cable tv and land line telephone services. This isn't really a scientific explanation or anything like that. Essentially I am comparing what I pay and what I get versus the options I have as I see it. I'm confident that there may be something I overlooked, but really, I doubt it is anything that I can't overcome once I get to that point. Go ahead and give it a look and let me know what you think . . .

The new season of Heroes

|
The new season started last night. If you watched you already know that there's new stuff and old stuff alike that will keep this season going strong.

I've decided I don't want to do a re-hash of each episode each week, so you won't see me revealing any spoilers. Now, I may pick a certain something that is happening and ponder the possibilities. For example, I'm not really sure why the writers decided to throw Niki in jail?

What's the point of that?

I understand it from Niki's point of view, but I don't understand it from the story's point of view.

Got any suggestions?
