I recently cancelled a major chunk of my cable service and only get like 5 stations beamed into the house. Net results - savings of $25 per month - enough to get 2 Indian buffet lunches.
Content loss of intellect - zero - perhaps better condition of grey matter due to lack of toxic drivel being bombarded onto it from the erstwhile cancelled channels.
Now like a recovering alcoholic I am thinking of cutting the moronic cord entirely. I also got rid of the concept of land telephone line now that I have more cell phones than I can count at my disposal (its a long story).
I am working very hard on the concept of telepathically connecting with fellow humans on a need to know basis and will update the readership as the concept matures. If I do not you might smell the stink anyway and try to reach me.
What I am discovering more and more is that the media sometimes might be in cahoots with the perps and instigating a story or two so they can send their goofy and lazy cameramen out to chase it. A fire here or a minor explosion there - no loss of life other than the mongrel that caught in the storm drain but our KTVU's John Dingleberry is there live and reports that its not a mongrel after all - it was a black squirrel that was the size of a mongrel and it has since been devoured by the wild vultures.

Foxconn employee jumps to death in Southwest China. Now that was smart .. he chose a big enough area to jump in since he was afraid of water. This way he sure landed on some hard surface. Could have been an ipad what with so many being built in that region.
Thats it folks.
Cool cat the Japanese are Tokyo at dusk My second visit to this land of the rising sun after almost a decade. Back then clearly I was wet behind the ears product manager and likely didn’t pay attention to all (efficient) things Japanese. But today I did and of course continue to be impressed. It is as much the obvious stuff like on time travel that is both clean and comfortable and all that which makes it possible. The impressive landmark and landscapes that these humans have put together despite their cramped (or because of it) surroundings and precarious geological conditions could amaze a novice architect among us. But it’s also the little things that someone had to think about which have a phenomenal impact on day to day lives that make the Japanese stand apart. Below are few random examples- 1. Providing a very fine machined wooden toothpick in every packet of wooden chopsticks. The said chapsticks are simply set on the To Go counter of any food vendor/ convenience store wher...
