Woman goes on-line - while asleep

From Unexplained Mysteries

Doctors have reported the first ever case of someone using the internet while asleep, after a sleeping woman sent emails to people asking them over for drinks and caviar. It was only when a would-be guest phoned the next day to accept, that she found out what she had done.

The 44-year-old woman, whose case is reported by researchers from the University of Toledo in the latest edition of medical journal Sleep Medicine, had gone to bed at around 10pm, but got up two hours later and walked to the next room.

It's like the next morning I was invited to this "party", and later that afternoon, there was no party to be had.

Well I don't have Photoshop.
Do you have GIMP?

You can create icons from there as well.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Goodbye Qwest Cable. =(

I HATE it when crap like that happens.

I got this letter from Qwest today. 

Dear (my name):

Qwest is upgrading our network to offer you the fastest high-speed internet service in your neighborhood. The technology upgrade in your neighborhood is scheduled to be completed by  March 9, 2009. At the same time as the high-speed Internet service upgrade, we will be discontinuing our Choice TV service offerings.
Once the technology upgrade is complete, your high-speed internet service will be as fast or faster than it is today. (for me it's as fast) As an added benefit to the high speed technology upgrade, we will be sending a trained technician to your home to install your upgraded service and assist in setting up a new email account at no cost to you. All you will need to do is schedule an appointment by call us at (their phone number.) When we upgrade the technology your current high speed internet service will be temporarily interrupted until a technician can install a new modem. That is why it is important for you to schedule an installation appointment as soon as possible.
As a result of this technology upgrade, Qwest will be discontinuing its Choice TV service offerings and your service will be disconnected effective March 9, 2009. Qwest has extremely attractive (
) digital TV offers available which will allow you to Switch to DirecTV service available through Qwest. Please call Qwest today at (their phone number) to learn more about DirecTV and to schedule a free installation. Call now and get DirecTV service set up as soon as possible to avoid TV service interuption. DirecTV service should be installed before Qwest Choice TV service ends on March 9, 2009.

I'm scared. I want my IS not Satellite. I know a lot of guys here have DirecTV so I have a couple questions.

Is Satellite pure crap?
Will I have WeatherScan?
Should I be sad?
How is the HD quality?
How is the DVR?
How is DirecTV?
Will I still get my Local On The 8's and the tickers and the other stuff?
Am I rambling?
Should I shut up?
I will.

To answer your questions (and this is from my experience at a soon-to-be closing Circuit City store):

1. If you're living in an area where it rains or snow constantly, Yes.
2. No.
3. If Qwest bundles DirecTV with their internet service, you shouldn't be.
4. On a scale of 1 to 10, about a 9.5.
5. Haven't tried it.
6. It's good. Not great, but good.
7. You may get it through a TWC app installed on most DirecTV receivers.
8. No.
9. No.

TWC Fan Art / Re: Michael's TWC Fan Art Portfolio

An idea just popped into my head this week: A couple years ago, the OnSpot Digital Network is installed at all Simon Property-owned malls including the Irving Mall. All the time they were showing news, sports, TV clips, and advertisments; they never show weather and/or traffic. So I thought, "Why not add TWC HD to the mix?"

Here's my concept on TWC forecasts shown to mall goers (See attachments). The temperatures are color-cordinated to match the color legend (shown on National Forecast high & low maps).

DISCLAIMER: All known materials are property of The Weather Channel and TWC Interactive. The L-Bar Material (which I tweaked a little), fonts, and the titlebar are courtesy of Martin. US Satellite/Radar map provided by Google Earth. The icons in the 4th version are provided by Raymie. The OnSpot Digital Network logo is owned by Simon Property Group and Publicis USA.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

Where I am, my neighborhood is right smack dab in the middle of 2 sirens.

The one near North Lake College is an FS EOWS 612 siren, and another one at Irving Fire Station #11 is a FS 2001.

My hometown had all EOWS 612 sirens, but the replaced most of the Valley Ranch district ones with the 2001s.

DMX Adopts Pink Prison Wardrobe

By Billy Johnson, Jr. in Hip-Hop Media Training

Looks like Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio has come up with the cure for DMX's addiction to jail. The hip-hop star and repeat offender, like all of Arpaio's other inmates in the Maricopa county jail, must wear pink t-shirts, underwear and socks.
The girlie wardrobe colors caught DMX by surprise. "This is ridiculous, this is disrespectful," DMX said with a sarcastic laugh during an interview with My Fox Phoenix. "Why the pink?"

Arpaio told Fox & Friends he has had the pink policy in place for 10 years with success. He said the inmates were stealing the white underwear so he dyed them pink.

Circuit City in Irving barely moved to the Irving Mall 5 years ago. Such a sad sight indeed.
