My tech-savvy parents

My dad is on YouTube and posted this video:

For Christmas, I got my mom an iPod Nano and loaded up her CD collection on there for her. I talked with her the other day on the phone and asked her how it was working.
The main thing for her seemed to be the accessories related to [...]

I just bought this domain name.
From dictionary.com:
slurb –noun
a shabby, ill-planned suburban area.
[Origin: 1960–65; sl(um) + (sub)urb]
Look for it after Christmas. It’ll be part of my multi-pronged foray into video blogging. There’s some technical stuff to take care of first (hardware upgrades, software purchases and updates). Also, I’m moving to a new apartment. Plus, there’s the [...]

Reflections on Frontline’s “News War” series

I haven’t been a big watcher of PBS since “Seasme Street” and “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood,” but after watching the last 15 minutes or so of Frontline’s “News War” series on the local PBS affiliate, I just had to watch the rest of the episodes.
