Hi back 
New Microsoft Geek Blogger
| | Ozzie, now Udell. These are positive signs. |
Trail of tears
| | This post, its comments and links are as much a story as James Kim's final journey. In fact, they are part of the same story. |
| | Here's a map that shows the path he took, and much more. Follow the links to more maps. A lot of work went into these. |
Will it change anything?
More medium, more message
Quotage du jour
| | Tony Pierce: real bloggers fucking Love this medium because when you hit a home run it goes around the fucking world. From a post where Tony takes Google, Wikipedia, Amazon and trolls to school. Bonus quotage: |
| | i am a real blogger and this debate is difficult because i dont really fit in easily to the definition of notability on Wikipedia. good. that means im doing the right thing. bloggers shouldnt fit in to old media or in this case new media trying to improve on old media. |
| | blogging isnt a tv show it isnt a newspaper it isnt a radio show it isnt a diary it isnt a love letter it is something very different and when its at its best it defies all of those olde school failures |
Netting HD
| | Dave wonders about HDNet. Far as I know there are no free feed sites, or Web feeds at all. There is a DVD sales page, for what that's worth. But it's early. More is bound to come. |
| | We get HDNet on our Dish Network, along with 29 other HD channels. We can watch only a few of them (including HDNet) so far, because we sited our dish at a location that can't see the satellite at 129° West, which carries many of the HD channels. We should have that fixed soon. |
| | I'd say that we record (TiVo, though not with a branded TiVo) at least as much HDNet programming as, say, HBO or anything else. |
| | The picture quality is at least equal to the others. I'm not sure if it's 1080i or not. I think it is. |
| | I also believe that the quality of the picture from Dish Network is equal to or better than what I've seen on screens fed by cable TV signals, but I'm not sure without side-by-side comparisons. Both satellite and cable need to do a lot of compression, resulting in lots of artifacts. |
