The Worth of a Guarantee (a sad but true story)
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
Internet problems. Not again. Not after everything I went through before, I thought.
The internet was down, all right. The tubes to my house must have been clogged. I had no choice, I had to call customer service.
I hate calling customer service.
I told the robot on the other end what the skinny [...]
Just one little problem

The search for an excellent hotel room is a hard one for the weary road-warrior. I thought I had found one, too. Clean, modern, well decorated. None of that cheesy grandma furniture. 32″ LCD HDTV…although everything is stretch-o-vision, I can tolerate that…for one night, anyway.

While cheating on your cancer-ridden wife falls somewhere between “intentionally making babies cry” and “kitten-rape” on the Miserable Bastard Scale, it’s not my place to judge.

I’ve mentioned before the issues I was having with my cable internet service. Well, now that I’m no longer an unemployed guy with too much free time, and I’m now officially a telecommuter (there are surprising similarities, except now I’m paid, so that’s nice), my internet connection is very important. And my Time [...]
The problem with niches…
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Rants, TV
With cable and satellite viewers assaulted with eleventy-billion channels, cable broadcasters have to carve niches for themselves so they can find an audience. This is how we ended up with channels like E! Style, Sleuth, The Food Network, and thirteen different Discovery channels. Within the last five years or so, TBS decided to change [...]
