Storms brewing live and techno

After watching the weather report and installing two Critical Updates from Microsoft on my Windows 2000 PC cruising the web took me to SouthernPhried and the post by Wampus about first hand experience in regards to the evacuation of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Luckily he got a jump on the massive northward migration. Check it out, nice post. It's the one with the Duke University avatar.

The latest incarnation of The Screensavers on G4TechTV has returned to doing live broadcasts 6:00-7:00pm CDT. Kevin Rose is still one of the anchors which is a plus plus and they've added a new co-host, Alex Albrecht (sp?). The ad that went out must have said, "Co-host needed for geek/nerd info show that goes to 50 million viewers daily. Must have a high pitched annoying voice, a personality that combines the lesser points of Screech and Shaggy, and be able to insult call-in viewers, members of the audience and fellow workers. Why? We are Comcast and we don't give a damn about public opinion." After a week of watching Alex it's safe to say they fulfilled their baboon dreams. C'mon Comcast. Patrick Norton and Leo Laporte blew this guy away. Put him in one of your other G4 type shows. He'll fit in nicely with the rest of your hosts. Why oh why did Paul Allen and company sell TechTV?
