This is one happy locker-room!!
A great football weekend!
I saw on Blackberry Cool today that there will finally be an application for SiriusXM on the Blackberry platform that aligns with their online streaming lineup. For a couple of years they have offered a streaming application that only offered certain channels and wasn’t inclusive of an XM subscription.
This will be great for the days that I forget my radio in the car or want to listen to O&A on the go! Hopefully SiriusXM follows soon with an Android application!!
Top Netflix rentals by region
You can see which movies were most popular by zip code!
This is a great use of data from Netflix integrated with mapping of where the rentals occurred. It’s interesting to see the romantic comedies being concentrated mostly in the suburbs.

Eye of Judgement
I played EOJ with my friend Jay from Alabama tonight. It’s been a long time since I have played this game. Jay and I played two games and we split. He wanted the rubber match but I decided I should get some sleep 😉 Jay, we’ll finish the series soon!
I recommend this game for anyone that enjoys strategic games. Don’t let the look of the game deceive you. If you like chess, you’ll likely get into EOJ.
The have seen the game and camera combo for under $50 on sale. I think that Jay bought it for around $40! It’s well worth it even for the camera alone if you are interested in video conferencing on your PS3.
Happy New Year!!!!
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.

I witnessed a car fire yesterday on 13 and Lynn. Talk about a bad day!
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
