So in I popped to Radio Shack (which is the American equivalent of Tandy – RIP) to ask them about an outdoor antenna set up for receiving over-the-air HD. It’s better than your average cable or satellite signal, and it’s free (the signal, not the antenna). I’m also loathe to pay a premium to my [...]

Posted on 9, Jan

This credit collapse/meltdown/armageddon is a curious one to fathom. Do you not think? What are you lot seeing and hearing? It seems like any response seems wholly inappropriate.

A curious instinct tells me I should make Steph get out more. Whether I give her a key or up her housekeeping are a couple of options I’m pondering. The problem with her doing bits and bobs for me is that she’s very easily distracted. I should know seeming I’m forever having my tract dissed. [...]

Nothing says Happy Birthday quite like a quickly rustled together blog post. Happy Birthday, John.
