This weekend, I received a robocall at my house. It was the worst kind of push polling I had ever been subject to. The caller (out of state) didn’t identify themselves. They simply said something to the effect of:
The Legislature in Missouri wants to ban calls such as this from grassroots organizations such as ourselves. [...]

Engadget has the goods on the presentation that XM and Sirius put together for shareholders on their proposed merger.

I really can’t imagine that the FCC would allow the only two satellite radio companies to [...]

I’d stand up, but now I don’t have to.
Seriously though. How many people have changed the world to the extent this guy has? In addition to helping to invent the remote, he had 180 other patents while working for Zenith.

You may have noticed some changes to the site. Basically, I’ve added some Google ads. Someone updated my theme (a post in the future about this) to include Adsense blocks in several places. I will probably turn off a block or two on the single post pages, but for right now I am experimenting with [...]

I very rarely agree with Dick Morris. In this case, I clearly do.
