  • TV Experience Just Got Better

    In this post, I mentioned that I ordered a video sender from X10. The device was priced well, arrived quickly, is nicely packaged, and probably works as well as they describe it to. So, I have no complaints about X10 as a company, or this specific product. Well, the one semi-complaint about them […]

  • The Wailin’ Jennys CDs

    After seeing The Wailin’ Jennys perform last Saturday night at Tarrytown Music Hall, I informed you all that I’d be buying their CDs. I ordered the two full-length CDs from Amazon.com on Monday. Their current one is Firecracker, and the older one is 40 Days. I paid $13.99 for each, but the links […]

  • Welcome WordPress 2.3

    The only plugin that I had installed which supposedly wasn’t compatible with 2.3 was Google Sitemaps Generator. There was a newer version available, which was compatible. So, I just took the plunge and upgraded. Smooth as silk. This is now the first post that has any tags associated with it. 🙂

  • September 2007 Poker Update

    So, the streak had to end at some point, and it turns out, that September 2007 was that time. No complaints (at least not that I’m willing to voice publicly). 😉 At one point during the month, I quoted an ancient line to Lois: “If I didn’t have bad luck, I would have […]

  • The Wailin’ Jennys are Wonderful

    Last night, Lois and I went to see The Wailin’ Jennys at Tarrytown Music Hall. We don’t own any of their CD’s, and weren’t familiar with their music. So, what made us go see them? I’ve written a number of times about how much I love to see David Bromberg perform live. In […]

  • Suzy Boggus at Joes Pub

    We have very good friends who we get together with in NYC regularly. Both couples have crazy schedules, so we try really hard to make it work whenever we can. We had suggested Thursday, September 20th for a get-together. They responded that the wife couldn’t make it that week, but the husband could. […]

  • Jonathan Pytell Graces the Piano

    A long while back, there was a crew at CBS TV that were customers of ours at Zope Corporation. That crew broke up, and after having moved to different places, has reassembled again at CBS Radio. CBS Radio is a very small customer of Zope Corporation, but this crew has no part of […]

  • Bad Result in Sunday Tourney

    I shouldn’t even bother posting. The only good news is that it didn’t drag on that long, and torture me with a “near the money” finish, like last time… Here are my notes: 871 entrants, top 90 get paid 820 left, in 232nd 815 left, in 135th 774 left, in 143rd 683 left, […]

  • FiOS TV Leads to HDTV

    As much of a technophile as I am, including being a gadget freak, I am also a reasonably late adopter for many technology breakthroughs. This included being very late to the Compact Disc party, among others. HDTV was no exception. I have friends who have had HDTV for a few years now, so […]

  • Silly DKIM Update

    This is an unnecessary post. I’m mostly doing it because I said I would, but really, because I changed the permalink structure of this blog, and this will be my first post with the new structure (though old posts are available under the new scheme as well). 🙂 It’s been a little more […]
