Since today is Canada Day, I thought I’d share with you a couple of things that make Canada great! Hockey (just not The Leafs) and Gordie Johnson. All combined in one place! The first Theme I’m going to try is ATAHUALPA. So far it looks like it’s almost infinitely customizable. My better half found it and is using it for her blog. Of course hers will look hugely better then my, being the designer that she is. I’m not sharing a link with you yet as she would kill me for revealing it before it’s done. I’m done some quick customizing to take the prepackaged look off if it. I’ll probably just fiddle with it till it looks like I want it to. I’m getting a little tired of WordPress Default and WordPress Classic, so I decided it’s time to try out some new themes. I wish I had the time, patients and/or design skills to put my own theme together from scratch, but I don’t so I will be trying out various themes I come accross. I will try and post a link and name to them as I try them out. If you see a look or a feature that jumps of the screen and gives you a big kiss or slaps you up the head please make sure to let me know. Know a good customizable theme let me know that too. This is a step in the right direction. I’m still waiting for two other things. HD movies to be available to those of us in Canada without an AppleTV and the ability to use FrontRow to watch movie rentals trather then having to go into iTunes. I don’t know why it always takes so long for digital content to make it way up here. Ok, I do know why, but seriously, how many years has the content been available on iTunes? We get the shows on regular cable at the same time so why can’t they get their act together. In the past I’ve heard people complain about the quality of the 720p content from iTunes. Has any one had any experience with the new content?
The chatter has been pretty quiet on the web in regards to TSCC future. I’m assuming this is because of the immanent release of Terminator Salvation. The last I have read about TSCC, is that it is dangling from a thread and is all but officially canceled. I’m not sure if this is an obvious observation or not but that’s never stopped me before. I wonder if they are waiting to see how the movie numbers are. If the movie has good numbers, favorable reviews (from fans and critics) and the new season can be timed with a DVD/Blu-ray release there might sill be some hope for our favorite band of future fighters. Cross you fingers. Seriously. This has got to be the most out in left field rumors I’ve heard in a while. What on earth could apple possible want with Twitter? Of course, maybe they have some brilliant out in left field change an industry idea, but I doubt it this time. Something to do with the iPhone maybe? Again I doubt it, but who knows. Just a rumor. Move along please. Nothing to see here. I, Cringely » Blog Archive » The Future of Internet TV (in America) – Cringely on technology: “” I agree with most of what he said except that he has missed one thing. Apple is first and foremost a hardware company and they always will be. Anything they do is purely to sell computers, ipods and the like. This is akin to Apple starting a record label isn’t it? In theory a good idea, but a bit outside the scope of they do. Union must be part of auto sector rescue Talk about the two biggest dinosaurs around. The auto industry and unions in general.
I can tell you how to handle your woes. Instead of focussing on milking as much out of short term profits as you can, get your head out of your a$$ and make some innovative products that the consumer wants. If you had done this 10 years ago you wouldn’t be having the problems you have. A little pain now will mean a better future for all involved. (Via Reuters.) Previously I sent some e-mail to all the local TV broadcasters asking about there OTA plans. It’s been over a week and I have heard nothing. Not even a peep to acknowledge that they got my question. That’s great customer service for you isn’t it? You wonder why broadcast TV is going down the toilet. |
