About Me

Watching great TV: theres nothing better.
Watching bad TV: theres no excuse.
I have always loved great TV. I am also a huge fan of technology. For years, these were two separate interests that had little in common, except for the fact that my friends and coworkers were bored with me ranting about both topics. The last five years have been a personal wet dream. Forget the supposed convergence buzz of the late 90s. Technology and gadgets let me obtain the best TV shows in whole new ways, they let me watch the best television whenever I want, and allow me to watch them wherever I want. This is a good thing. Since my friends and coworkers are still sick of hearing me rant, Ill get it out of my system here on myspace. If you disagree with anything I say, please share your thoughts with me. Know that you are wrong, but I want to hear the argument anyway.
