I’m not a big fan of reality television. Or more accurately, I enjoy celebrity reality TV (Hogan Knows Best and the like), but shows like Survivor or Big Brother do nothing for me. Call me high brow, but I like a scripted comedy or dramatic series. Having said that, I do have an idea for […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
An online acquaintance pointed me to BiancaVision today. This site is great! I suppose you could call it a “vlog” but since I hate that word and concept with a passion, I won’t. Instead I’ll say it’s an online cooking show hosted by a young girl (early teens I suppose). I think this is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

And I don’t think it will all be […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

As I have written here before, I’m trying to get my podcast Showbiz News – Online off the ground. Of course to report the showbiz news you have to know what’s going on. So that means I have to read the trade magazines. The problem is that I live in the Washington, DC suburbs. You […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I bought my Series 2 Tivo because I was interested in the Tivo Online Services package.
