Cut In Half: Fire Truck

Cool new show on Nat Geo....

We see fire trucks every day, but do we really understand how they work and what's inside? Eric Stromer and his team create a giant band saw using a motorcycle and 100 feet of diamond rope to cut a fire truck in half lengthwise. The systems include a 50-ft hydraulic ladder, a 600-gallon water tank and a high-powered water pump. With CGI and practical field tests, we see these systems in action and find out how they work in a unique look at the fire truck - from the inside out!

Thank you Time Warner!

Was I suprised this morning to see that, when I turned on TV, Time Warner FINALLY updated their DVR interface and guide screen to something more modern and that looks a lot cleaner with a more fluid interface, plus some more new features.  I guess they are starting to wake up to features found in competitots DVR boxes.....

What's Happened To jetBlue?

Anyone who's followed this blog knew what I loyal fan of jetBlue I used to be.

Now, living in Austin, the only reason I like them is because they fly to JFK direct.

The rest of the airline has gone down the tubes. And everyone I know agrees. I miss the old terminal, the new one is just too big. The flight attendants and staff have become totally apathetc. The TV's don't work half the time or work poorly when they do-one of the main reason I fly them, and all they give you is a $15 credit if they don't work. A credit mind you, not a refund.. The planes are dirty from lack of basic janitorial care and starting to show their age inside. They are constantly delayed. And the worst thing their prices are ridiculous. More then American or Continental.

I guess the freindly staff and crew who care, clean planes, low fares, working TVs, and all they were at the begining is now just memories.

Hiatus

I know this blog has been on an unofficial "hiatus" for several months, but I really hope to get it going again soon. I've been procrastinating doing it, but I hope to get it going again soon.

"Southland" Picked Up By TNT

"Southland", the awesome drama about patrol officers working the streets of Los Angeles, which was cancelled by NBC, has been picked up by TNT.


They will start airing the show on January 2nd, starting from the pilot episode and the episodes NBC has already aired. However, they will also be showing the unaired episodes, and depending on ratings, ordering a complete season.
This is a great show, and I'm glad TNT picked it up....I think it will do well on TNT.
