Wi-Fi

Image
The latest thinger I have come across in the audio/video world is the LG Blu-Ray player ...which comes with a Wi-Fi connection...just so happens to be the coolest thing...here's how it works...I have a Netflix account, so I can access this with the player...now you have to have a network set up to your computer...of course, you must have this nowadays....it's how I access my stuff through my laptop... Marsh has the main computer, duh... Bang!  Once you have registered, the player allows you to search through the movies that Netflix has for this...and, it is very broad...and the picture is Hi-Def and well worth the trouble...it sounds complicated , but if I can do it, so can you ...and, there are other options...one that is free, is Pandora Internet Radio...again, you access and do the set up...and you create your own stations ...it is all great sound...you must look at this, I am so impressed...

Positive Spin

Image
I have just looked back at my recent blogs... too much negativity ...so it's time for a positive spin... Looking at the pix of Donnie and Marie made me think of the plight of BYU in their desire to be in the mix for the BCS big bowls ...the MWC has gotten bigger and better, so why the move?  What's positive here?  That they are out of the league and that's good for SDS... Dr. Laura ...what was she thinking?  Using the N word many times and being brazen enough that she is bigger than anything that she poses to her listening audience...and now she resigns, and that's good... The sweep of the Cubbies   by the Pads. ..the latest odds of winning the NL is now at 9 to 2...say what?  ESPN and MLB network seems to be non-believers...love being the underdog...so sad to see TGwynn out for a while with a busted hand... Building a mosque near the blown out site in NY...freedom of speech, and freedom of a bunch of things...I'm not afraid to say, I don't trust ...

Padres

Image
Remember when?  The closer was Trevor Hoffman ...and in the latter part of his SD career, he lost most of his glamorous pitches...his fast ball was about the speed of his breakers...thus, he was pounded...alas, the Brewers liked what he still had, and signed him...and last season he had a resurgence...but this year, not so much...as age has finally caught up to him...he's like 40+...anyhoo, he actually got a close yesterday in St Louie....good on him, number 598... The most non-talked about team in MLB ...the San Diego Padres ...won 9 of their last 10, leading the West by 6 , the first NL team to win 70 games ...and still...the major networks won't televise them ...they will show the Dodgers and show the remorse of the demise of LA...horse crap... beat LA?  beaten down LA... ha ha ...go for it, ESPN, go suck your Illinois eggs... Ryan Mathews ...the Bolt's running back...the real deal, kids....if you want a steal in your fantasy draft...get him...he's all purp...

PGA Fallout

Image
Due to the overwhelming amount of polarity on the Dustin Johnson bunkergate ...I must elaborate more...you see to the left, this is a bunker that Paula Creamer is blasting out of...not the crap that was saddled up and bucked out by the PGA in their last embarassment in Wisconsin...oh yea, there was an abundant amount of reminders about all the so called bunkers throughout the course...yet determining just what constitutes a bunker is as funky as calling what DJ did a penalty...sure, he shoulda known better , as should his caddie , as should the rules guy accompanying him , as should the crowd surrounding him... IN THE BUNKER ...it's a horse crap ruling for a horse crap course by a bunch of horse crap judges ...and for all you purists , you are horse crap, too... Now to more pleasing thoughts ...the Padres invaded Chi-town last night and rung up a convincing 9-5, workman like stomp on the Cubbies ...the hitting keeps getting better...and K Correia is rounding into ...

Not without glitches

Oh sure, the moving company was 5 minutes late...no soup for you...the building dicks wouldn't allow the move...so had to reschedule ...as much as I raised a stink, as you know I can...it was to no avail...rescheduled for Tuesday...hopefully the company can make it before 4...we are slowly putting this place together...desk and computer yesterday...it's the sound system today...it all takes time...the overall, is that this place is quieter, and more convenient to walk to the bay...the view is fantastic...when all is said and done I'll post pix for you all... The Bolts ...played their 1st exhibition game Saturday...not much on figuring out what they have in these games....but, the 1st look at their running back...and he's legit ...the passion for these guys around here is crazy...the people were as excited as if it was the real deal as a counter...a little disconcerting about the wideouts, with Jackson out for at least 4 games...it just seems like we are still in bas...
