15 min away from google keynote, 4 rows from front and center too.

Okay, insanitycheck is now officially under the highest level for tech-geek status possible. I scored a free trip and pass to CES here in Las Vegas. How, that show us yours entry for CNet where I showed off my home theater set up.

Today begins where most everyday begins for me, Starbucks of course. You know, I take the crew at my normal Starbucks for granted. They are fast and have a system for getting things done. So far here, not so much.

Well around 9am this morning my coverage begins for Cnet. More later… Keith out.

This thing on? Tap. Tap…

This friday morning we hit the road at 7am. Headed for DC to visit with my wife’s brother and his family. Should be a great trip. Barkley is seated in my lap as we head north on I-85.

Should be in DC around 7PM.

To pose the question “What does Christmas mean to you?” will typically get you an answer ranging from “A time for family to come together…turkey…caroling…gifts…” to a complete theological dissertation on the events of 25 December 0000. You will hear words and phrases like “commercialism” and “holy” or perhaps “I want” or even “government conspiracy”. Read the rest of this entry »

This just looks cool. So check out the link.

And for cryin’ out loud, will somebody post something… geezs

For those who care and are unaware, Doug Chiang did allot of the concept art for Star Wars and wrote an illustrated book version of this story, “Robota” with Orson Scott Card (Sci Fi author famous for “Ender’s Game”).

No not about Andy Kaufman but could this be the end of the world as we know it? Hmmmmm….. cause I feel fine… but a man in Tennessee feels that the signs he’s received point to devastation in 5 major cities and our very own ATL is one of them. You can read the whole story over here. This guy was interviewed on a radio station this morning, and my oh my it was interesting to say the least, The first thing I noticed was that he kept having to reiterate that he was sane… (J rule # 11 if a person you are talking to has to keep stating “hey I’m sane”, they’re not but humor them anyway)… He also contradicted himself from the get go, by saying “I don’t believe in coincidences anymore” but he would say “god showed me this in a coincidental way”…. yeah ummmm ok guy…

It looks like broadcasters may slowly be getting it. CBS and NBC have announced they will sell some of their programming for 99 cents via Directv and Comcast. Slowly the industry changes.

I saw this on VH1 a couple of weeks ago, of all the random things to be flipping the channel and see this The smurf village being bombed. The video for it can actually be found here , what will Unicef try next?

Tired of junk mail? I was, and I did something about it. I called the United States Postal Service at 800-460-8366 and asked if they could restrict or reduce the amount of junk mail I was receiving. I went on vacation and ever since, I have received about 5 vacation brochures a day. C’mon, travel agencies, back off.

I was told by a very polite USPS service phone representative that the USPS could not remove my name from a junk mail list (I thought there was one but was informed it doesn’t exist) because by law companies pay the USPS to deliver mail, but I did learn that I could have my name and address removed from national mailing lists by sending my name, and all variations of it, addresses, and signature with a request to remove / delete my name, to the following address:

MAIL PREFERENCE SERVICE
DIRECT MARKETING ASSOCIATION
P.O. BOX 643
CARMEL, NY 10512-0643

USPS also sent me a letter titled “Ways to Stop Advertising Mail” to me and it contained more addresses. That’s invaluable. BTW, there is NO charge to remove a name. For more info, check out www.e-mps.org

I may not get any more coupons and discounts, but at least I won’t get 30 invitations to explore Alabama every week.
