Happy Wednesday

Interesting that TotemBall went from "release date 09/20/06" on XBox Live arcade to "TBD" .... today's XBLA Wednesday gives you patches to make Backgammon an Xbox Live Vision game. Weee!

Sorry things have been slow -- been busy with work and various meetings taking over my life. Thanks to crappy cable DVR, I've been catching up with shows.

I really want that TiVo HD DMR....but $800..ugh...and then $200 to get lifetime transferred...and then $300 to get 2 cable cards...and then you lose on demand and PPV...it's just not good enough yet. But 30 hours of HD...yum. Current cable DVR only has 10 hours, which I've pretty much filled this week alone. Yikes.

I did see Studio 60 and damn that show flew by. If you liked West Wing in the early years, you'll LOVE this show. If people walking around in hallways talking isn't your cup of tea, then pass. Ironically I remember an SNL skit where they parodied Sorkin's drug use while writing...almost like that was the start of this skit. The ratings were "ok" with CSI Miami taking the lead. Yeah, that's original.

I also watched The Class and How I Met Your Mother. Barney is very funny. The Class has potential, but we'll have to see. I would never try to get my 3rd grade class together.

Tonight I catch up on The Unit and House. Oh and don't forget it's Ventriloquist Week on Letterman. Good stuff!

  1. Why is it $300 to get 2 cable cards?

  2. My cable company charges $150 per card…no extra monthly fees but damn.
