With this I could watch US television remotely while in Europe. If I connected it to a TiVo as well (which I was extremely proud to be one of the early adopters of) I could finally get to watch some NFL football. Of course, in a year or so TiVo Read more…
I am really ambivalent about cynicism. On the one hand, I love to engage in it and appreciate it. On the other, I find people who are nothing but cynics intolerably boring. But this example from my pal Jack Rogers, where he was responding to a fairly dumb email thread Read more…

This page has been up a while, and I have been remiss in not blogging about it. Congratulations to Ann on becoming the second member of the Bishop family to publish a book. Way to go baby. I’m proud of you.
