I've been predicting for some time now that the distribution of television shows over the airwaves will be a thing of the past sooner than later. It will be replaced by Internet (or whatever the Internet will be called at this time) distribution. It just makes sense. There's only so much programming that can travel over the airwaves in any given city and it is bound by city limits.

There are several advantages to being well-connected in the Internet community. One is getting my hands on every great deal that comes down the Internet pipeline.

Ok, so Best Buy is pretty much a technology store but I don't consider refrigerator shopping high up on the technology experience chart. After browsing a few different models, my wife (who was with me) and I locked down on a particular model we both liked. It was a side-by-side with an ice and water dispenser built into the freezer side. Not quite the stainless steel with integrated computer and touch-screen model I dream of, but… Continue reading...

Today's blog post will be short and sweet. It's Noobie's 3rd birthday today and I plan on taking a little time off to celebrate. I'll resume my normal blogging next week.
If you happen to be in the Indianapolis area, please stop by the Bean Cup and enjoy a piece of the awesome (and very big) cake Mrs. Noobie surprised me with today.
