Random thoughts the night before I head out to Podcast Expo
- I've packed so much iProng booth stuff into my little Honda Civic that it's starting to feel like a clown car. Hope there's room in there for me!
- I've resolved to watch a little TV tonight to let my mind wander and reset itself before diving in in the morning, because once I get in the car in the morning and head out to Ontario it won't stop until I head back to LA. Won't really stop then either, but that's another story.
- As a result I'm watching Criminal Minds and CSI NY tonight, two shows I thought I was going to give up on this year. I've only really been watching Criminal Minds for Mandy Patinkin and the younger geek, but neither character is really developing in the way that I'm finding interesting. And while I like CSI NY, I thought it wrapped up well enough last season that I could leave it be. There just isn't enough time in the week to watch all these shows. The Office, Boston Legal, and Studio 60 were the only three non-sports television shows I was planning on fully committing to this season, and the morons at NBC-Universal already took care of the latter for me.
- The feedback I've gotten for my stance on AmazonMP3 is about what I expected. I just don't have the patience or the inclination or the time to continue my never-ending quest to get the geeks of the world understand A) that their take on things is wildly different than the other 99 percent of users, and B) that the other 99 percent of users actually exist. I just don't have time for geeks who've walled themselves in to a point where they've convinced themselves that everyone else on the planet is a fellow geek. Nothing wrong with being a geek, and nothing wrong with having geek friends (most of my friends these days are). But don't forget that there's a real world out there, and that the people in the real world have a different take than the geeks do on pretty much all counts when it comes to technology.
- That Honda Civic I bought? Found it through Facebook. That's a new one.
