Music Thread

Spent the last week or so learning the acoustic guitar version of 'Love Of My Life' (Queen) as performed by Extreme at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Piano songs on guitar can be tricksy.

home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

Yeah, Mrs Tif had an apartment across from her office (long story, it was paid for by her company) for about 18 months and she had TWC for internet and cable. Don't recall any problems with the internet service, but the television stuff sucked out loud. The menu was poorly organized and confusing, a...

home theater, cord cutting, video streaming, a/v tech, and more!

Any thoughts on TWC as an internet service provider? Recently found out that I have TWC as an option in my neighborhood, and we're one of the cities that has the 100, 200, and 300 Mbs plans available. I'm reluctant to switch because I don't know how service would be impacted by the pending merger wi...

Colossal TV Show thread

The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber is on tonight. Why does he get a roast? I don't know, but I'll still check it out. I heard at the end he apologizes for his behavior and says he has learned from his experiences and will be a better person going forward. I'm a huge roast fan, I think there ...

League rules prohibit teams from using any electronic devices beginning 90 minutes before kickoff through the end of a game. The rule forbids communication to the sidelines, coach's booths, locker room or any other club-controlled areas. The only exceptions are the league-issued tablets coaches use...

Randomness Dos

Kate Upton was born the summer after my freshman year of college, and I do not feel uncomfortable in the least.
Well, going with Sarcastic's point, at least Kate Upton looks like a grown adult woman (whoooo-man!), whereas Grande looks like a child.

I swear if Ariana Grande's dresses get any shorter, they'll be called "shirts". I want to punch her in the face when she does that puppy dog eye look. It's cute at first, but it's like that is her permanent face. I do not find her to be all that attractive. Part of me believes this to be because sh...

Conkle points out — as have others in recent days — that the Indiana law is not a free pass to businesses to discriminate against gay customers. All it does is grant religious people the right to a court hearing in such matters, to determine if there is a way that the state can better achieve its a...

Yes, the bone sort of acts as a sink and slows the transfer of heat somewhat. That's partly why the meat right next to the bone is favored by many, even if they don't exactly know why..... because of that sink effect, the meat that's actually touching the bone will be slightly less cooked than the r...

One of the unintended consequences of of having a commute that's only 30-minutes each way (as opposed to 90 minutes-2 hrs each way) is that my podcasting has all but ceased.
