Ladies and gentlemen, I’m less than twelve hours from being in San Francisco on vacation. Yes, an actual trip somewhere that isn’t on business. Fascinating …
Work, video projects and life in general have kept me from blogging. I hope I can restart some non-Twitter communications via trip reports.
I am not alone on this vacation journey … Suzan is of course coming along (a vacation without my spouse seems odd), but we’re teaming up with Amy, Jeff, Asai and Adam to invade SFO for a week of tourism. Plus I have friends in the area to annoy.
Of course, I could just enjoy myself and forget to blog … nothing wrong with that.
The blog at woot.com has a great list today … “What Annoys Us About The End Of Analog TV?”
* Having to make new digital-compliant tinfoil hats
* Aliens behind “The Outer Limits” can no longer control the vertical or horizontal
* We’re stuck with all this unsold analog TV equipment – we knew nobody would want it, but it was just so cheap
* No more pretending we have MTV when UHF channels get audio bleed from radio stations
* Mad scientists who hijack television signals in order to describe their plans to a world held hostage can no longer get away with skipping makeup
* Now inevitable that Jack White will announce his plan to start making videos in analog
* One more reason for our relatives to think we’re weirdos for not having cable
* That old guy from Videodrome who existed only as recordings no longer meets current standards
* Not being able to watch TV most of the time because the digital signals are such crap
