Maybe an email with a link to the guide of when it’s on? Maybe a link to an on-line version of that video? Maybe a link to iTunes where they could buy it?

I’d love to see this. We all watch TV (too much?). And we all discuss what we watch with others. Even Boxee, which has been around for a while, is trying to make inroads here, but why can’t the STB (set-top box) people incorporate this? OHH.. because they are dinosaurs. And the content owners would never let anyone have even the slightest bit of flexibility in how the content is used, shared, managed, etc.
It’s all a pity.. this is the kind of innovation that would get people to watch more TV.. With 3 major groups: content, STB manufacturers, and cable companies; it’s a miracle we get any programming at all.. but it’s easy to see why we totally lack for any real velocity in our innovation.

Some bile:

  • Andy Reid got outcoached.. thoroughly
  • McNabb – he looked terrible, again.  He wasn’t accurate and barely escaped
  • Turnovers – the Eagles kept choking up the ball
  • DeSean Jackson is a punk.  And now he has the off-season to stew on another week of getting shut down by the Cowboys
  • DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer were awesome.. all over the place
  • Jason Garrett is back.  He made the right call each and every time

See you next weekend in Minnesota!

  • Greater ease to access all my media.  I have GBs of video, music, and pictures, but want to be able to get it all, anywhere or any time.  Not just on my iPod or on my iMac.  I want to view it from any computer, any TV, any handheld, from anywhere I can get bandwidth
  • I’d love to see DHCP get faster!  Why does it take 10 seconds to make DHCP go faster?
  • More “old” media consolidate, make big leaps forward or die.
  • Stalwarts like AOL and Yahoo! need to get focused on exciting and interesting business strategies
  • Mack’s will go to Ramah in Ojai,CA for camp this summer, that should be cool
  • I’ll probably check-in at 1,000 Foursquare places – I’m addicted
  • Maybe a few good movies.. Wall Street 2?  Will Aviva like Sex & The City 2?
  • Aviva turns 40.. I have 11.5 months to think of a great present(s)..
  • A number of family trips, but I can’t publish them, we want them to be secrets for the kids ;-)
  • Another Saw movie.  Oh wait, I can live without that one
  • A few more botched WordPress upgrades by me
  • I’ll guess I’ll get in 60k miles on United.  I did over 80k in 2009, so think that may go down a little.  We’ll see
  • The car!  I’m not in it that often, but it’s lacking.  My NAV system bites compared to Google Maps.  I can’t time-shift anything from Sirius/XM.. I can’t easily listen to podcasts.  I can’t get web content (reviews, etc).  My car is a black hole.  Listening to my iPod is not a solution.

2009 was an adventure, but we’re happily now settled in Cali..

Nike Ipod

I finally broke down and got myself a new set of Nike sneakers and a Nike+ for my (ok, Mack’s) iPod. I always wanted one, and when we were at the Nike store downtown a few weeks ago and I could get properly fitted, I made the bold move. My review is short, I love it. I love all the tracking I get, it truly has made me more goal oriented in my running. Instead of just running to, “get some miles in” or “some exercise.” I’m now trying to get to distances and speeds. My new goal is 4 miles and to try and more than 1-2 miles below 10:00 minutes. Even better, it lets me store and track all my runs on a Nike server, and I can even share it all.. So, here you go.
