TechTV Farewell Pt 1.
Tech TV was a great channel with many good shows. How someone could screw it up is beyond me, but G4 sure did. The cool thing is that i still get all the great information from many of the same personalities, I just get it through podcasts and other channels on the internet. Long live Tech TV!

NHL players should play in the Olympics
The NHL is making waves and statements at this Olympics that they may not allow their players to play in the next Olympics in Sochi.
Excuse me? The NHL players in these Olympics has made it one of the best hockey tournaments ever and has turned on a bunch of people to hockey.
When has NBC ever got over 10 million people to watch a hockey game and that is when they buried it on MSNBC? The answer is never.
Brian Burke, the GM of the USA Team and GM of the Toronto Maple Leaves seems to be against having NHL players represent their countries.
Imagine some of our markets where we’re challenged attendance wise. You get into a situation in Atlanta or Florida that are fighting for a playoff spot, actually generating interest and people are following their teams in the standings and then close their doors for 2 ½ weeks and say, ‘Thanks for your patronage but come back in 2 ½ weeks.’
I would have to argue that watching the best play in the Olympics generates more interest that having monotonous NHL games on. The world’s focus is on the Olympics and this hockey tournament. You will get more exposure and people interested in the sport and that will help the NHL in the long-term.
Growing up in northern California, we only were able to watch hockey once every four years when the Olympics were on. Watching the 1980 hockey team win in Lake Placid peaked my interest and I became a hockey fan.
The best of the world were playing then except for the U.S and probably Canada because the NHL didn’t play. But the best of the world should play and that includes the NHL players.
Phil Harris of ‘Deadliest Catch’ will be missed
The death of Alaska fisherman Phil Harris, of ‘Deadliest Catch,’ is met with tributes. – latimes.com.
Phil Harris will be missed. He made the show and epitomized the fisherman in the Bering Sea. He was an honest person who expected honesty and your best effort on his boat.
I enjoy the show, but it won’t be the same without Phil!
Venice Restaurant a great place to eat
My wife and I ate the Venice Restaurant in lodo following attending the matinee of Legally Blonde.
We had a wonderful meal. It is a restaurant you should have on your list when you are in Denver.
You can see my review on Yelp.
Frontier Messed Up Today
Frontier Airlines has really messed up today. We were supposed to leave at 11:45 today. But we are still sitting in Denver, instead of getting ready to land in Washington, DC.
We are all on the plane, but we’re not going anywhere. This flight was late getting to Denver and now we are waiting for a part to fix the captains chair.
So instead of getting to DC at 5 pm, we are getting in around 7. There goes my opportunity to have an early dinner and get ready for the week.
I am hoping we get in at a reasonable time. I really like Frontier, but now that Republic Airlines is running the show, I may have to rethink my loyalty.
Homeowner’s Association’s are just nuts
I am in a crazy homeowner’s association. It is not like the rules are crazy against me as a property owner or my neighbors.
It is the quorum that is required to change the bylaws. For quorum, we need 60% of the homeowner’s. That is 188 homes. We also must be unanimous. If one person votes no, then it is dead.
We are trying to change it, but there are many that don’t care. We barely got over 100 households tonight.
Hopefully the changes and future votes will allow us to manage our homeowner’s association. But the way it’s going now, we can’t even change the board members.
This is one big mess-up. Neumann Homes messes it up for us again.
