Kable Kid Is Captivated by iPhone
For my birthday (which was in April) I got a card saying I would get an iPhone. Well 5 months later here I am writing on it.

It is amazing how easy it is to get distracted in the Apple store. It took a good two hours to get thee phones up and running. Shortly after getting the phone everything was set and I was nearly bouncing with excitement. I was shocked at how good the BRIDGE looks on one of these things. I have to admit I am very proud of the way the Morning BRIDGE looks! »

Upbeat At CEDIA In A Down Market
It's that time of year again -- time for the annual influx of high-end, high fidelity and high-priced fun that is the Custom Electronic Design and Installation Association (CEDIA) show.

Once again, the big installers and technicians show is being held in Denver, Colo. And once again it's expected to bring nearly 50,000 attendees and exhibitors for the better part of a week; filling out the Colorado Convention Center with education programs, networking events and booth presentations. »

2014!
    NBC-Universal did a pretty good job covering the 2008 Olympics … at least from my shifting vantage points.
    The best picture was on my hi-def set (40” Bravia) connected to DIRECTV.  Second best picture was on my older 52” Sony connected to Comast.
    Smallest picture – but by far best experience – was in the seats at the Water Cube, Bird’s Nest and National Indoor Stadium. »

More News from Nowhere
With apologies to Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds ... "It's getting strange in here."

Back from Beijing, with brain cells bouncing like a dropped baton (oh, ouch), a whole lot of what everyone "knew" when I left has been turned on its head.

Just for starters there's the "Beijing as NBCU's last GE-gasp" bit of conventional wisdom.  When I left all the smarties on the Street and in the blogs where CERTAIN ... make that DOUBLE CERTAIN ... that the big electric/equipment/etc co would shed the Peacock shortly after the closing ceremony.   But now with ratings' gold and ad dollars (some $1.3billion and counting and no make-goods)  piling up, the Peacock is looking more like the goose of golden egg fame and the smarties are saying that only a fool would sell.  (Like big companies have never been known to do foolish things ... but, hey, last seen Jeff Zucker was practically dancing in the Beijing St. Regis elevator.) »

SkyFILES: The Changing Times
Whether it was talking shop on the sun-filled deck of the St. Regis Resort in Aspen, or conversing in the deep basement of the swanky hotel in this Colorado mountain town, one topic was on the mind of most attendees at this year's Aspen Summit presented by the Progress and Freedom Foundation.
