Blogging

I know it's been a while and there are a few things that have been keeping me from posting...

• 2nd job
• PSP
• PS3
• Main job
• Socializing

Here a few things...

• Happy New Year.
• I've been writing in my journal more (the blog isn't private enough).
• I've had some re-connections with friends. I feel very blessed by that.
• I'm LOVING Dj Hero!!
• No bonus this year!!! which means, No HDTV!!
• I paid off a credit card. Three more to go.
• Reading The Lovely Bones
  

Playing with Tong Tong! Food is cooking and I'm watching As The World Turns! I'm home! Merry Christmas!

It's all about Joe

The ad speaks for itself.

The Bill on Capital Hill

Looks like the Healthcare reform/insurance company payoff is about to roll through the Senate. Good, right? Next up is the House and Senate in committee to come to an agreement on the two bills each passed. Hmmmm...I wonder if the public option will survive.

Congress, the American people are watching.

A few questions...

• If the people want a public option, why don't we have it.
• How could Americans not see that we need healthcare reform?
• If you're not for the public option, what are you for?
• Have your healthcare costs go up and services gone down?
• Is a 20 million dollar salary justified for a CEO of a healthcare company?
  

Kindle or Nook

The next gadget to get after my HDTV (or before) will be an ebook reader. The top two contenders are The Nook and The Kindle. These are my needs.

• I need to read more, but I hate to carry around books. They take up valuable bag space and make it heavy.
• I'd like a way to check out my blogs and books wherever I am (subway or park).
• I love new gadgets
  

Enter...the ereader.

Do I really need it? No, but it would be nice for the train and give me a chance to read more. I'm leaning toward The Nook because you can put any book on it vs. being tied to the Amazon store with the Kindle. I hate being tied down to anything. Engadget recently reviewed The Nook and said the interface was slightly disappointing. That may be the case, but that can be fixed with a software update. I want to be able to put books on my device for free. I should put off my purchase until after my birthday.

$259.00 isn't that bad. The Kindle used to be 399. I think $259 is a much better price. i know I would use it more than I would a PSP 3000 for $169.99.

The Lovely Bones

Whoa. I'm reading this book and it's so sad. There are parts where I'm sad and angry, but it's such a fascinating read.

Comcast buys NBC

It's not a good day for consumers.

Comcast is a cable company that charges a monthly service to provide content, internet and voice. NBC offers a free programming with commercials. Hulu provides free content with some advertisement. Comcast brought a major stake in NBC, a creative company.

I never like when business and creative companies mix like this. Obviously, Comcast will have a huge say in what programming is put on the channels they provide to their paying customers. Maybe that's not such a big deal, but Comcast has a reputation for limiting content and overcharging it's customers.

Just another example of business under regulation.

"Plus One"

I'm a huge fan of Sex and the City and the majority of my love of the show is the writing. I will find the episode later, but there's one about always having a plus one!

With the holidays here. Where you accept invites to parties, people always ask, "Who are you bringing?" My answer, "Me, myself and I".

Levi's gay commercial

Whaaaaaat!! We should at least see this commercial in New York City.
