Just one little problem
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
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. Large work desk, comfy chair…twenty foot ceiling for crying out [...]
What do you mean? A politician LIED?!?
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
Despite my general policy of steering clear of politics on this site, I think it’s pretty safe to say that John Edwards’ political career is pretty much finished. In case you live under a rock, or haven’t taken your eyes away from 14 year-old Chinese gymnasts pretending to be 16, former senator Edwards ‘fessed-up to [...]

It’s happened to you too many times to count. You were opening the door to the grocery store. Maybe you were at the mall. Perhaps you were walking down the street the last time it happened. The little brat cut you off, nearly knocked you over, or just generally irritated you [...]

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 [...]
Held hostage by cable
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Misc., Rants
My cable internet service went out for about half of last week, which served to remind me how important Internet access really is, and how little choice I have in my area.
