Simple Twitter Explanation (Video)

I promise to stop promoting Twitter on this blog for at least a week if you watch this simple 2 minute video:

A letter from Wal-Mart Shared Services...

Back during college, I worked at a Sam's Club, in Addison, IL, for two Summers and a Christmas break.

Apparently, one pay period I worked very few hours and forgot to cash my check.

Last week, I received this in the mail:



Way to go on a timely follow up..."update our accounting records periodically"

Seeing as how they sent it to my parents and I opened it last weekend, I would have to wait and call the state to get my $11.28. I think I'll pass.


I'm sorry, electronic vagrant. I probably really bummed you down...

The Series Finale of The Wire

I wonder if HBO has statistics on how many people watch their shows via On Demand.

I realize not every cable TV provider offers On Demand. I believe DishTV just got it recently. I'm not sure about DirectTV.

But, if you have been following The Wire (Zach says it is the best show on television), you know this week will be the final episode. As sad as that is, last night's episode helped hype the closure that the final episode will hopefully bring.

As most folks with On Demand services may know, the weekly episodes usually come out on Monday, even though the show actually airs on Sunday. So, folks like Zach who bleed for Omar Little probably watch it every Monday night when they get home from work.

Meanwhile, suckers like ACOM and I wait until it comes on Sunday night (practically the last possible time to watch it for the week).

I wonder what percentage of people actually watch it on Sunday night?
I'd like to see that percentage both including and excluding people without On Demand services.

While ACOM may watch it tonight, I will probably wait until Sunday night.

I will look forward to it until then....

UPDATE: ACOM informed me that Zach informed him that you will NOT be able to On Demand the series finale. That's a long wait for those of you that watched it last Monday...
