That’s right, two-a-days have started across the state and soon they will be strapping on the pads and knocking heads all around Texas. This affects me in many ways: This is Dallin second year in HCRA football (youth league) and he will be the starting tailback this year. It is going to be a great [...]

No Comments »Netflix = NetFAIL
July 13th, 2011 Chris Doelle Yep, you knew it was going to happen. Intent on making the move away from their original business model and the cost of storing and mailing discs, Netflix has separated the disc mailing business from the online streaming biz. I got this email: Dear Chris, We are separating unlimited DVDs by mail and unlimited streaming [...]
3D Done Well
July 10th, 2011 Chris Doelle First, let me start by saying that I am NOT a fan of 3D movies. The stuff purposely flying toward the screen is campy and takes the viewer out of the story. The 3D glasses are uncomfortable. There is really nothing positive that I can report about 3D movies in a normal theater. IMAX 3D [...]
Tour de France is underway!
July 2nd, 2011 Chris Doelle Le Tour is underway once again and it has a couple of new twists. Instead of a prologue time trial to begin, this year’s race begins with a true road race. As pointed out by the VS. television crew, this means that anyone can lead after day one. Speaking of the television crew for VS, [...]

June 15th, 2011 Chris Doelle Back in the mid 90′s (seems like so long ago) the neighbors and I started a small run community flier/newspaper. The kids planned the paper, wrote the stories, distributed the thing & even sold subscriptions. It was a lot of fun and I think it really helped bring the neighborhood together. I was cleaning out [...]

June 11th, 2011 Chris Doelle I am writing this while sitting at a Barnes & Noble which just happens to have a Starbuck’s attached. Part of the sequence of logging in to use their free WiFi is a welcome screen announcing that you can read free digital comics while at comics courtesy of Marvel. Marvel Digital Comics is offering the [...]
Critérium du Dauphiné
June 7th, 2011 Chris Doelle I know when Critérium du Dauphiné comes around, it won’t be long until the Tour de France. I just love the fact that so much great world-class cycling is available on television. I can still remember when we were the only family around with satellite access. It was the Wild West of television and we [...]
Spammers are at least more entertaining now
Remember the day when you would get a spam comment on your blog kinda like, “Great post,” or “well said,” and a link to some fast-cash-now scheme? Because the spam catching plugins are getting so much better, these doofs are forced to make their automated postings sound more real. The problem? When you have a [...]
