every word of it.

We made it. Rather, I made it. Me. All me!

A full month of posts.

What have I learned? Writing is hard. It’s a good thing I never became a writer. It was killing me to think of things to write every day. I have respect for Richard Herring. He’s been doing it for almost 5 years now. And he’s always entertaining. And he doesn’t pull the one line bullshit that I do. He even writes full, meaty paragraphs.

Richard Herring is my hero, and also my favorite comedian.

So, I think I can do 2 posts a week. That seems like a reasonable commitment. I think so.

stands for Dallas or Drink, I haven’t decided.

Dallas needs a do over. This time they need to hire competent city planners and engineers. I discovered a new lake. I call it Lake Raishad. You can find it by taking Shady Grove from Loop 12. You’ll know when you there when you notice the submerged baseball fields.

You can see my schedule here

As you can see there are a lot of conflicts. I’ll have to make some tough decisions.

… against using your wipers and not turning on your headlights. Or better yet, car manufacturers should link your headlights to your wiper control. It would make the world a better place. You wouldn’t have these morons driving around with their headlights off in a hard to see-ibility situation. It’s dark out there, it doesn’t matter that it’s 5pm.

Here’s a warning for you all. With Uverse, it’s not possible to set timers/auto-tune on the non-dvr units.

For example, with Dish, I had 2 timers. Every weekday at 10pm, the receiver would automatically turn to Comedy Central to watch The Daily Show/Colbert Report Power Hour. And then at 11pm, it would switch to MSNBC to watch Keith Olberman. It was a great setup.

But apparently, the eggheads over at AT&T Uverse have never used Dish/DirecTV/Cable before. What if I had a VCR still? How would I use it to record things without auto-tuning.

Also, the guide is slow. Whenever you send a command using the remote, the receiver is slow to respond. I imagine there is a tiny old man with binoculars in the receiver. When he sees the IR pulse, he writes it down, and hands it over to the other old man next to him. He then slowly gets back on his stool with his binoculars and waits for the next pulse. While he’s doing that, the other old man with the command written down, hops on his bike and slowly pedals over to the old man who’s operating the levers. But that old man can’t see to well. So the messenger old man has to slowly yell (lots of moving parts, kinda noisy in there) out the command, and then old man at the levers starts pulling the levers to make things happen. My wish, is finally their command. Then the messenger old man, has to get back on his bike and pedal back to the old man who’s watching for pulses. While all this is going on, I’m sitting there pushing buttons, repeating the mantra “IPTV is the future”, and crying.

Seriously.

It’s finished. The guy came over and now I can watch Uverse in my room!

So far it seems okay. The internet is definitely faster. I’ll let you know what little things annoy the crap out of me (and only me).

Heroes. Earlier I mentioned was kind of meh. I’ll take it back. It was above average. Just barely. It definitely doesn’t hold up well to analysis.

But it’s okay, because Peter Petrelli is a certified badass. If I could be anyone else, it would be Peter Petrelli.

Not Finished

This guy, isn’t Steve Jobs. I’m not Steve Jobs either. Where’s my video introduction to the iPhone? Apple needs to correct this, send me an iPhone and I can record one. I have an iSight and everything.

Hey, have you heard of Google? It’s this really great site. Like sometimes, if you have questions, you can put in some keywords related to your question, and you might find an answer. Really neat. They call it a search engine, I call it an “answers engine”.
