This is a sad day for track.  People were not paying attention in one of the more dangerous sports of track and field and an athlete was struck by a javelin.

The race officials were not doing their job in running the event or protecting the participants.

I completely agree with Lance Alanoff.  When I fast forward, I am engaged so I don’t miss the stopping point for the show.  I am not watching the commercials.

This from a television company who discounted the number of people watching Studio 60 who recorded it to their DVR when they cancelled it earlier this year.

Way to go NBC.

Veronica Belmont Leaving BOL

In a posting on her website, Veronica Belmont announced that she was leaving CNET to produce a daily video show on Mahalo.

Read the announcement, “Big (early) announcement day!

Veronica will definitely be missed on Buzz Out Loud and I look forward to watching her show on Mahalo.

A good day for Veronica and a bad day for us BOL diehards.  Molly and Tom, don’t leave!

Getting back to it…

Well I haven’t posted in a while and that is because I went in for unexpected surgery to have my appendix removed.

I have been in the hospital until last evening and have not been in any condition to post.

I will be at home the next couple of weeks, so hopefully I will be able to get back to making some posts.

It is good to be back.
