And now a few words about Comcast simians

Okay, I realize some folks had plans, but to those that missed the LAN Party last night let me tell you, it was a fun evening. We ate, played, ate, talked, ate, and the rain stayed away until almost 11:00PM. Nice easy evening and everyone seemed to enjoy a leisurely, peaceful night at the Beach House. And there are ribs left to munch on!

G4techTV is a disaster. If I wanted to watch shows slanted for the 12 year old age group, Nickelodeon and Disney have been around for years. I think they dress and change the make up of the same two dull dudes for about 50 different programs and all 50 of them are about watching said dudes play games and say weird left coast expressions. Thank goodness they kept X-Play. At least Morgan and Adam are a different approach.

Friday night found Patrick Norton, Roger Chang and Cat Schwartz on The Screensavers. Where are Kevin, Sarah, Yoshi, Joshua and Foo? Patrick is really good, Roger is pretty good and Cat just outright sucks. She's so busy trying to act cutesie and I am sorry, you just ain't got it girl. The best move TechTV made about The Screensavers was ditching Leo Laporte (my age group) and letting Kevin Rose (mid 20s?) co-host with Patrick. We saw an upswing in information about Windows, Linux and FreeBSD. Leo, only 3% of computer users go to the orchard. Dude, I like your style for the most part. Please quit offending the vast majority of the American public with all the applecrapple.

Anyway, Comcast management mucksters are probably a bunch of low IQ monkeys sitting around a table flipping coins. They really hit the odds this time. I bet the board room smells like bad ape hygiene. C'mon you clowns, do you think anyone really watches the Thunderbirds? Or Robot Wars? Or ANY of those other lame G4 programs? Right, maybe those 12 and under.
