Charter Internet Deals Getting Better And Better

Posted on November 30, 2008 - Filed Under Movies/TV | Leave a Comment

Banner__bf08_300x250_google Despite their monopoly status (which is enforced with the government’s guns, of course) Charter is having to try harder and harder to get people to sign up for their cable television, internet and home phone services.  In fact, as the ad to the left shows, they’re currently offering a free gift card (to the business of your choice) worth up to $250 with you sign up for any of their black friday deals.

Whether you’re just looking broadband internet service ($24.99/month for…

Whiny Actors Consider Following Whiny Writers Path

Posted on November 25, 2008 - Filed Under Living Free | Leave a Comment

It was just last year that the television writers went on strike. You may not remember because the only real effect it had was on television news: they couldn’t stop talking about it. Well, it was shortly after that strike was resolved that I gave up on television all together. So, imagine my surprise when I stumble across the story today that now the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is considering following the trail blazed by the television writers and going…

How The Market Can Enforce Intellectual Property

Posted on November 10, 2008 - Filed Under Applied Anarchy, Living Free | Leave a Comment

Part of the Applied Anarchy 2008 Series - Previous in series         

Although I was aware of Napster, Kazaa, LimeWire and other second-generation file sharing systems I was never much of a fan.  It’s not that I had a problem “giving back” to the “community”, but rather I really didn’t like the security holes that ran rampant with them all.  The idea of opening my computer to anyone with a modicum of knowledge just didn’t sit right with me. …

Charter Covers Your Back To School Basics

Posted on August 28, 2008 - Filed Under Contests, Technology | Leave a Comment

Charter_laptop Ask a hundred different kids what they consider essential for life and you will surely get plenty of different answers. But I’d be willing to wager that you’d also see four things crop up time and again: television, telephone, a laptop computer, and high speed internet access. Oh yeah! And gas money if they’re old enough to drive. If they’re not, then you could probably use that gas money to cover the cost driving them around.

Well, if you’re shopping for…

I Desperately Need Some Flirting Lessons

Posted on August 19, 2008 - Filed Under Aahz | Leave a Comment

As I may have mentioned, Z was off visiting her grandmother for two solid weeks, leaving me with way too much free time.  So, I decided to head out into the world for a bit and see if I still had “game”.  It turns out that, not surprisingly, I don’t.  In fact, when asked for my best pickup line all I could come up with was…

I’d like to buy you a new Ferrari.

I can’t, but I’d sure like to.

Drumroll, please…

How Greedy Writers (and Labor Unions) Ruined My Life

Posted on April 13, 2008 - Filed Under Movies/TV | 2 Comments

Okay, okay, they didn’t ruin my entire life, just one portion of it. Although I’ve only briefly mentioned my Big Brother obsession in passing prior to this point, I apparently now have yet another reason to detest labor unions and striking workers: Big Brother 9: ‘Til Death Do We Part.

I’d largely avoided Big Brother until last summer when Season 8’s Evil Dick took the nation by storm and proved that honesty, strong game play, and being a huge jerk can all…
