How do you combat the loss of viewership? If you have a TV station in Spain, you broadcast at least two hours worth of YouTube videos daily

Why does it make me so angry that they call the Terminator A.I. "John Henry?"

This has been happening on Digg for a little while. When I view my personal page, it sometimes shows that comments that I have made have been 'buried' and show negative numbers, but when I actually go to the comment itself, on the page of the story where I made the comment, the count is higher.

Why does this happen?

Which number is the most accurate?

Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good. Rain is good.

Apple remote is amazing, especially for infrared. Works from the next room, bends around corners.

Shivers... temperature in this room easily just dropped 3 degrees. Winds changed direction, too. Clouds outside are getting thinned out.

Some guy on TV just made mention of the US caring about the 'flag incident' when Zapatero remained seated. I had to Google it. No one cares.

My wife and I agree on one thing. Fresh fruits and vegetables were much more delicious when we were kids than they are now. Wha' happened?

I can tell when the swallows wake up, in my sinuses, I can feel the clicking noise they make, when they get close to the building.

Strange that we use the word "mania" the way we do sometimes. Wrestle-Mania, for example.

Law & Order SVU Series 10 Episode 3 - I've never cried so hard. It's like these writers have a hole into my soul, and keep looking in.

Wha' happened?

wrote down the most important thing ever- What I'm feeling right now-Things I'm going through that I can't bring myself to talk about.

The most important thing I've ever written. Part I

I just wrote down the most important thing I've ever written.  It is about what I'm feeling right now.  Things I'm going through that I can't bring myself to talk to anyone about.

Resisting the urge to post online right now, worried that my feelings would change, and I would be embarrassed by what I said, wishing I could take it back and change it.  - the usual.

But it's been a couple of months, and the feeling is not going away.

In fact, it's trending towards worse feelings.

Which is what finally made me write it down.

Because I wish I wasn't feeling it, and I wish I wasn't the only person, and somehow writing it down means that I'm connected to people going through what I'm going through.

As if that would make it better for any of us... me writing it down.

Maybe I'll post it here someday.

My wife tore up and threw in the trash all the mail addressed to me today. I am more than pissed. My absentee ballot was in there. F&^%$#

The neighborhood dogs haven't barked like this since the last full moon. I never thought it was real... until I moved here, work nights.

Trying to find music fitting for my latest time lapse. Nothing I like is boring enough.

Maybe I can forgive Chuck's writers for using Banacek as a badguy's (girl's) name, they DID make John Larroquette into a spy, after all.
