XM no longer going to be on DirecTV

This is just another nail in the coffin for Sirius/XM in my mind. Mel seems to be driving the company more and more away from every outlet possible.

I’ve had XM since 2001 and the only reason that I still have their service is for Opie & Anthony. My contract is up in February and I doubt I will re-up because of the new music royalty fees.

It has been sad seeing such a promising platform slowly become irrelevant. Many of my friends have already cancelled.

Christmas Decorations

Oh man, this is an awesome prank…

Well, there is good news and bad news about my Christmas decorations this year

Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take them down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down. First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost had a wreck when they drove by. Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.

Kind of feel like I gave in to the man by taking them down but my neighbor did confirm to near miss accidents on the busy street next to my house. I think I made him too real this time

So it was fun while it lasted

Wild opener and no HD???

What’s up with the Minneapolis channel 45 not broadcasting in HD? A few years ago I could catch HD broadcasts from them on 45-2 but they have failed to broadcast Twins, Wolves, and the Wild since then. It’s 2009, get with it 45!!!

***Update – It turns out that there aren’t a whole lot of Wild games this year for the Wild. That’s disappointing as I think that hockey is the best sport in HD. I hope that the Wolves have more HD games this year. I figured that after the Twins went the entire second half all in HD with FSN that we would at least have FSN HD full time for these teams.  It doesn’t appear to be the reality though 🙁

They are playing well tonight!

I was at the opener this year. I will miss the last game in the dome but did manage to make it tonight. My first live grand-slam!

Google Latitude, too cool!!

A few friends and I have been having fun keeping an eye on each other 🙂 This technology is just too cool. My director and I had a conversation on how an airline could use it to judge where a customer was and potentially rebook a flight if a customer was not close enough. It turns out that there are no API’s for Latitude unfortunately.
