If curling is an olympic sport what about chess, snooker and pool?
CEO of Cablevision called after my rant about BDA TV. FoxHD is fixed. Local channels = much more complicated. Other issues let me know.
Heading home. Too much meeting and eating. Hello bike, goodbye carbs.
The pilot of my flight to Atlanta looks barely a day over 16.
Not going anywhere in my car until the ice my windshield defrosts. Ah frigid MS.
Sampling America's rental cars. Size options = big and ginormous. An ice cap is melting because of me.
Touring America's airports.
What is the best offering for the travel Gods? Clearly I have offended them.
Sitting in Toronto wondering if Bermuda's winter winds will allow our flight to get out today. Rescheduled for 7PM from 8:30AM.
Going skiing tomorrow. First time in 16 years. Should be entertaining and dangerous for anyone within 500 feet of me.
Completely fed up with local network and Cablevision signal quality. Thinking about some guerilla tactics. Anyone want to join in?
Waiting in line an hour early for a Robert Munsch book signing. Could be worse, could be outside in -10 listening to him read to the kids.
My 5 year olds somehow figured out how to use the Google. I'm very afraid.
Best part of the 3D Grammy tribute last night? Our picture quality was no worse in glass-less 3D than the normal signal. Maybe better.
BDA Broadcasting has a still shot ad for the Super Bowl & even that image is barely viewable. @CBSTweet would be appalled at the picture.
"Crimes against a person have soared" says @royalgazette http://bit.ly/cgYxJT. How unlucky is that that person? Sucks to be him or her.
The iPad looks good, but I'll be waiting for version 2 or 3, hopefully minus that thick black border.
Seriously? Cablevision overlays a sub-standard def CTV feed over both the regular and HD FOX channels for the NFL game? WTF? I hate BDA TV.
Anyone know a good piano teacher for a 7 year old?
Who sync'd the rain with the work drive? Is there a new weather phenomenon known as El Commuto?
Well that was an interesting lunchtime ride in gale and storm force gusts on North Shore. Shoulda gone South Shore. I'm covered in sea salt.
Traffic in town always flows better when the lights are broken. We should turn them off for a month as a test.
Note to self: Out of shape, no carbs and squash do not mix.
Easy lunchtime ride today, a few raindrops but a great temperature and only a few people tried to run over me.
Bumped into Sir John Swan today. He really is the most natural of politicians. His brain is a vast political social network.
Need to get out on my bike, mountain bike that is. Too fat to ride the road bike with dignity.
First squash game in 20 years. Owwww! Feet hurt. Can't wait for tomorrow.
Kudos to @BermudaPolice for using Twitter and Facebook for rapid rumour response.
Thinking about trying to secure an exclusive dealership for kevlar vests in Bermuda. It's a growth industry.
If a cop pulls you over (not I), starts writing a ticket, then races off mid ticket, do you still get a ticket & do you have to wait?
This must be the one of the biggest, oldest Bermuda cedars around. And it's in Sydney Australia. http://bit.ly/7kpOYc
Santa drives a Prius. Who knew? http://tweetphoto.com/6193928
Music Festival cost $2M, made < $1M in revenue attracting only 383 tourists. That's $2,600 taxpayer dollars per tourist if you're counting.
Never seen the Bermuda airport so empty.
It's one of life's great mysteries that Bermuda's travel forms use US date formats while the US forms use the UK date formats.
Real time case study of TV picture quality: Same NFL game on local NBC (11), ESPN (22) and TSNHD (410). Awful, ok, perfect in that order.
Can't decide if I'm embarassed or proud that I like listening to Parliament and watch C-Span religiously.
Hope the Queen enjoys her boat trip to Dockyard. Couldn't have a nicer day. Mr. Miliband looked quite relaxed weaving his way through.
Seriously. $8.50 a pound for grapes? Even for Miles that's ridiculous.
Get home. Everyone out. Inside of the house lit up like Vegas. Women!
Did I spell teachable wrong? Ooh. That's bad. That's really a teachable moment.
Demerit point to Michael Dunkley for using the phrase 'techable moment' in a political oped today. http://bit.ly/92mU25
Channelling my inner 14 year old girl. Off to see New Moon.
Isn't it funny that the only time our politicians don't like cameras is in Parliament.
Wonders how long before we can retire '@royalgazette framed me' as an excuse? http://bit.ly/26bfgH Get more original people.
RT @UncleElvis: just saw that the Premier is giving the Loyal Toast. This could be an amazing train wreck! - No kidding Mike.
Is it not a bit early for Christmas to be starting? 12 days is turning into 12 months of Christmas.
At my breaking point with Vista. Why should I pay Microsoft for Win 7 to fix Vista? They should be paying me. Seriously considering Mac.
Thinking about a lunchtime bike ride dodging traffic.
Just saw the Kindle TV ad. Holy Apple iPod knock-off.
Spent an hour at Parliament watching the Throne Speech debate. 4 people in their seats out of 36. Dinner was up.
8:45 AM (After Monsoon), Marsh Folly Rd, guy in a red BMW convertible...top DOWN! Either he's an extreme meteorologist or made of Gore-Tex.
Rain meant 28 five year olds in the house today. No blood or tears! Parliamentarians take note.
Smoking ribs. Kansas City style tonight. Carb count? Zero. Mmmmmm.
Population of Bermuda is 65,000 people, 6.5 billion ants.
I'm embarassed for Bermuda that you have to send a fax to register a website domain. How 1980s. Acid wash jeans anyone?
Is pleased to be leading the PLP now that I joined their Facebook pages.
Learned that I'm leading the new BDA party because I joined their Facebook page. I'm also a bomb thrower. The PLP never cease to amuse me.
Suffering from internet induced ADD. Blackberries, Twitter, Facebook, email, blogs. Pass the Ritolin.
Pretty big turnout at the forum on Freedom of the Press tonight. About 100 people.
Wondering if Bermuda Broadcasting will ever bother fixing the audio levels on channel 9? HD is far too much to ask for I know.
So many reports to read. So little time.
Savouring my final carbs for awhile.
Drunk Ewoks on the Today Show. This is as good as it gets. Worth watching to the end. http://bit.ly/1FtPjs
Best Disney quotes: "Dad, can we go to bed on time tonight." Or "Dad was screaming like a little girl. It's only a Disney ride."
The UBP acts too slowly and is a case study of analysis paralysis. http://bit.ly/2hdCHm The PLP acts too fast with too little analysis.
I'm in awe of the Disney marketing machine. Mind bogglingly efficient.
Watching the PGA Grand Slam on TV. Bermuda films so well. Glad the sideways rain stopped.
Gotta love politicians. Pay hikes take effect immediately, freedom of information must wait til they're out of office and isn't retroactive.
Unlikely an 'ambitious' agenda goes anywhere in the final year of an isolated Premier's term. Lame duck is a bitch. Too little, too late.
Great @colbiecaillat show tonight. Now what does it take to find a cab in this town?
Off to see Colbie Caillat.
Note to self: bring pedals and bike shoes on long trips. Your previously white Nike's will thank you.
Found some great biking trails outside Philadelphia. Rain too. Got the mud stripe going on.
I'm with Cordell here. Beware of over-reaching and the law of unintended consequences. http://bit.ly/7RD4k
