This is what I write to DirecTV. Bear in mind that the comment form only allows 1000 characters. I’ll start at the top. Why do you need to ask for a bunch of my information for me to fill out this form? I’m ALREADY LOGGED IN. Why is my “Title” mandatory?????? Why can I only [...]

Missing the Album

by ray on 29. Aug, 2009 in Blog

When I was younger, we listened to albums. I don’t mean this as a “back in my day” kind of rant, so please bear with me. And I myself am as guilty as anyone—too seldom do I myself have the patience to listen through a whole album these days. And still, I do miss it. [...]

Cable

by ray on 28. Aug, 2009 in Blog

So we just got DirecTV installed today. And though we tried to watch for 24 hours straight, here it is, not even midnight, with me in bed. I must be getting old. I’m almost surprised at how much fun it is. It’s a satellite receiver, which they install on the roof, and then you get [...]

Hello, World!

by ray on 29. Jul, 2009 in Blog

I’ve been wanting a “blog of my own” for some time, and here is my chance. I’m going to try my best to write a lot—at least once a day—so you are welcome to pass if you don’t want a lot of reading! I write in several other places, but this will be my own [...]
