NewTeeVee asked a question today. “Does TiVo have A Chance?” I responded with a comment on their blog, and here is more pertinent information.
Please forgive my incessant run on sentences. In continuing with my series about Cox, my cable company. Today I received in the mail a letter pertaining to my use [...]
Ooh. I got my latest Cox communications cable bill today. I’m again unhappy with the amount of money I pay them every month for what they offer and what I am able to receive. In continuing with the trend I began last month, I decided to take some of the pent up [...]
I spent another 1.5 hours this morning on the phone with Cox after the guy who came to “fix” my cable card left. After the first time I got off the phone today I really wish I had the ability to record the conversation.

I haven’t felt like posting anything relevant, or irrelevant as nothing of interest has happened to me. So I’m just going to ramble or rant about whatever comes to mind and shove everything into one post.
It’s been a few days since beginning this New Year. The New Year’s Eve’s bash at Egon’s was sweet. [...]

E-Bay is jacking up its rates. I guess owning the entire market gives you that kind of monopolistic leverage. The price boost is going to be between 28% -to-50% . You know what even Microsoft doesn’t pull stunts like that. If a phone company raised prices like that, well there will be opinion pieces written [...]
