Good Things this Weekend

I called ComCast and had my Digital Cable box reactivated- the person on the other side was pleasant and very helpful; much better than i thought it would be... any way- I now have like 80 more channels of crap to never watch! (except for the science, G4 TechTV, another history channel...)

I also found a new News reader program: Newsleecher 3.0- friggin' awesome program; I have already abandoned NewsBin Pro 5.0 because it is buggy as hell... 

Not much else going on; watching TV, waiting for my eBay package, going to the gym, getting back on a healthy diet...

Google, Google

Ok, what does Goole NOT have?

www.google.com/ig - personalied home page
www.google.com/reader - RSS news reader
maps.google.com - maps and driving directions
www.google.com/movies - local movie showtimes and reviews
video.google.com - streaming videos
earth.google.com - 3D google maps
froogle.google.com - Price Search w/ wish list

jeebus... I am looking through the 'more'. page on Google- I could waste an entire day with this...

Ahh... two days vacation time for no obvious reason- other than I have been on call or 'backup call' for the past two months... today and tomorrow are two days to sit around, watch TV and do not a fucking thing...

I do need to go to the Gym as I have only been twice this week; and i have been 'treating' myself to those awesome cheese and cracker combo things- i think they are my Achilles heel... lol!  I am going to going to re-sign up with Amber (a neighbor) under the 'family' plan so we can save about $12/each at the YMCA ($48/each or $72/couple)

In case someone didn't know, apple released it's iPod w/ video yesterday, along with the new iMacs with their Front Row software.  Looks like Apple is going up against XP Media Center and PSP video with those two; both have their advantages and disadvantages, but it is nice to see competition and choice in a rather monotonous (as far as most of the public is concerned) market...

So, today is the day to catch up on 24 S4, Modern Marvels, Robot Chicken and all the other stuff on my ReplayTV (upgraded to 160GB just recently).  I also have to play around with iTunes 6.0 and see if there is any way to import the non-MPG4 stuff that I have on my HDs...

Over to another Journal...

Ok, so I am normally using LiveJournal, but it looks like Blogger has a lot more features now- and blogger appears to be free... hmmm- tough choice here...

Anyway- i guess this is the migration to Blogger...
