Cable Saved My Addiction Finally got Cable TV and broadband Internet from JCom(Japanese). Similar service as Oceanic+Road Runner in Hawaii. Good and bad .. the good is that my Internet connection is 8MB down/2MB up .. the bad is the number of channels available. At least I won't be lagging too bad when I snipe you in SOCOM ;) But, I miss the Food Network(Emeril, Iron Chef[but we're in Japan,  .. ahh Morimoto-san]), HBO(all the specials .. Live from Baghdad), MTV(MTV, MTV2, VH1), and most of all G4. I don't have wireless from the Airport basestation, no PS2 w/ SOCOM online, and no 300 digital channels, but at least finally got me a BROADBAND 8MB connection and some English TV content. I realized how dependent or hooked I am on being connected .. living without an Internet connection for over a month stressed me out. Also, watching Japanese shows was not doing it for me. It's fun for the first couple of weeks .. but after that it seems like they're all the same. 3:02:22 AM    comment []

iPod in the Bush (see the Onion) President Bush is tempting us with iPod's. I wonder how many songs he actually has on there? Or maybe he's using it to catch up on his reading listening to audible.com books. You think he actually uses it? I gotta figure out how to get the iPod to work with my Dell laptop. I received Xplay for Xmas from a secret santa gift exchange, but haven't utilized the music utilities from the PC-side yet. I've used it to backup my 2GB outlook file, but that's it. There has to be a way to use it from both the Mac and PC for music .. add this to my todo list. 1:56:17 AM    comment []
