(Lack of) Cable update

You may recall I touched on this subject about a year ago. Today, the whole Fox vs. Cablevision thing in New York makes me want to revisit how awesome it is to be free from cable. To date, I'll estimate that I have now saved $680 since my decision last summer to not get cable when I moved into my house last June (17 months, times $40 a month...and that's a low estimate I think).

For the most part, I don't miss it. Though I'll tip my cap to Hulu, SouthParkStudios, and my workplace having cable, for making it a lot easier. Otherwise, all hail the $30 HD antenna you can get from Best Buy or any similar store, which allows reception of all network stations with crystal clarity. What an age we live in.

Taiwanese news service, you've done it again

From my friend Joe, yet another spectacular Taiwanese news animated reenactment. This time, the Charlie Sheen hotel incident. They've got to keep these coming.

Keep up the good work Taiwanese news service, whoever you are

You may recall they did an animated recreation of the Tiger Woods cover-up last year. You may recall how hilariously awesome it was. Now, they've given the Brett Favre saga the same treatment.
This begs the question, what scandal should they cover next?
