Time Warner yanking our chains

In March, Time Warner Cable (at least in SE Wisconsin) added truTV in high definition to their channel lineups. This seems to only be for the duration of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, since the HD feed has disappeared from the lineup.

Why didn't TWC say that it was temporary? I am getting really frustrated with TWC (satellite and AT&T U-verse are not an option in my situation).

Your thoughts?

Sorry! :(

I'm sorry I haven't updated my blog lately. I have no excuse.

I will be updating regularly starting Wednesday, April 6, 2011. With the Major League Baseball season underway, I am dusting off one of my old adages from an old website of mine. It is called the BDS Major League Baseball 2011 Power Rankings. I will publish the weekly rankings EXCLUSIVELY on this blog after each Wednesday's games. I will also send out alerts on Twitter and Facebook once this is published.

Madden NFL 11 review

I picked up Madden NFL 11 on Tuesday and will have a review in this space within a few days. Stay tuned...

Lohan should serve the rest of her life in prison...

Actress Lindsay Lohan, sentenced Wednesday to 90 days in jail, should instead spend the rest of her no-talent life in jail. She was okay in the "Parent Trap" re-makes, but it went quickly downhill for her thereafter. At her court hearing Wednesday, she painted "f*** u" on one of her fingernails. Is that REALLY courtroom behavior? Not in my courtroom, it wouldn't be! She has had numerous opportunities to get her life straight - she just doesn't "get it." I think that spending some real hard time behind bars might just wake her up to the fact that SHE IS AN ADULT who has to take responsibility for her own actions.

Really neat bridge!

There is a bridge between Hong Kong and mainland China that is truly an engineering marvel. It is called the Flipper Bridge. The design came about because Hong Kong drivers drive on the left (former British colony) and in mainland China, they drive on the right. All I have to say is...WOW!

Report: Nebraska Cornhuskers to join Big Ten

There are reports out that the University of Nebraska will leave the Big 12 and join the Big Ten Conference. If true, this will make 12 teams in the Big Ten. Is it just me, or should the Big Ten just change their name to the Big 12?
