April Fool’s Fun

Hey everybody, just a reminder that today is April Fool’s Day, so be on the look out for unusual activity. Slashdot for example, is professing it’s true love for the color pink and ponies of all kinds.

Check out urgo.com for a canonical list of April Fool’s enabled sites.

I’m back

Looks like I have a lot to catch up on with Microsoft’s Origami unfolding, new Apple hardware and the iTMS “this isn’t a subscription” Multi-pass all launching while I was basking in the Big Island’s sunny rays.

If you wanna catch up with what I’ve been up to in the last couple of weeks, check out my Flickr pix and my personal blog.

Hey all (both of you) – I’ll be on a vacation for a couple of weeks so posting will be at best very light and at worst not at all. Enjoy the Apple event on Tuesday… here’s to a Disney branded iPod that docks with Intel Mac Mini that has been built into a plasma tv.

See you on the flip side….

Google misses numbers

I don’t normally talk about stock prices on the blog, but this one is of particular interest. Google missed their numbers by about 15% and their stock is trading at about 15% off of their closing price today. Tomorrow is going to be ugly for a lot of internet companies.

Looks like the Disney/Pixar deal is done. The New York Times (reg required) is reporting that the agreement was met this afternoon.

Oh, and sometimes, when I don’t have anything meaningful to say, I channel my inner 9 year old.

I’ve had some complaints from my audience (thanks both of you) that I needed to open up comments. Fortunately, this blog doesn’t get much traffic, so hopefully it won’t become comment spam bait.

CES General HDTV PVRs Tivo

Hot Damn! TiVo HD Lives!

(Man, I get more and more sweary in my post titles the later that it gets. Maybe its the crappy wifi and crappier Muzak). Gotta check this out tomorrow, but apparently, TiVo is showing off their Series 3 CableCard 1 and 2.0 HD PVR at CES. According to megazone, this unit will have 6 tuners (2 NTSC, 2 ATSC, 2 CableCard). I’m sure they won’t all work simultaneously, but 2 should work. I hope this means I can chuck my Craptastic err… Comcastic box sometime soon. Unfortunately, TiVo has a bit of a reputation of showing off the vapor at CES, so no ship date or price.
