My wife brought to my attention a pretty good deal the ISP competition is offering us: We get 2 pvr’s, plus an modem-router wifi combo and phone for about 40% less the first year. This deal also includes 10 free active HD channels. We need to add a few packages to get what we’re currently getting plus we get 89 channels. The 2nd year we also save $30/month off our bill. It’s a better deal then what we‘re currently getting. We could be signing up but we‘ll pay our current bill off in full before we sign up.
Trying a little experiment with street view. I lived in this building in 1999 just when Y2K was all the buzz. See the corner suite above the entrance on the top floor? That was my suite from 1996-99. 9812 156th street Edmonton. In 1999 I was paying $380 for this suite. Right now its probably renting for about $800.
It was the Oiler prospect development camp held just up here at Clairview arena yesterday. We’re a five minute walk from here and the new prospects including Taylor Hall will be back again at 10am this morning. Its an exciting time for Oiler fans again.
Today in my email subscription to the Robert J. Sawyer newsgroup, one of the members posted a rumor about Johnny Depp taking over the role of the Doctor in an upcoming Doctor Who movie. Talk about a poor casting job over that one. Anyone but Johnny Depp.
Thanks to SF Signal for the pointer. There’s a new Dragon Page podcast interviewing Tracy Hickman. For those that don‘t know who Hickman is he writes fantasy. He has written over 25 novels, many with Margaret Weise. He broke into novel publishing in 1987 with the “Darksword” series. So I’ll be downloading this podcast in the morning.
Uggh, I couldn’t sleep very much at all over night then at 6am the people next door decided that it was a good time to blast up their tunes for 2 hours.
Looks like another beautiful day out there. I’m sitting here with my first coffee trying to wake up. Anyway, that’s all for now.
