Taking Sabbatical!

31 07 2007

I looked up the word Sabbatical and its definition pretty well describes what I am going to be doing.

A sabbatical year is a prolonged hiatus, typically one year, in the career of an individual taken in order to fulfill some goal, e.g., writing a book or traveling extensively for research.

Well, I guess it is time to finally fess up that none of this stuff out here on the internet really works. I would like to say it is just me, but unfortunately there are a large number of us out here that are now realizing that None of this is really all worth it.

I will be taking a sabbatical to work on my next book that I will be outlining all of the fallacies of the internet…until then you may want to check out my other book to catch up on what is going on.

You can check out the periodic blogs I will post over at my main site, IBGS Blog. Hope you enjoy the archive of blogs I have posted here.





Digital TV: The Way of the Future.

7 07 2007

my-photo.jpgI noticed that my Times Warner cable bill was going up again so I picked up the phone and called the phone factory (AT&T as it is known to retirees) and asked what the deal was on their Dish Network satellite service. 

Fortunately I must have caught the Union in a good mood because the service rep saw by my records that I am a former manager and she provided me with more behind the scenes stuff.

att.gifShe said that AT&T is pushing to get a new service out that will allow DSL subscribers to watch TV online…called Digital TV.  In this rep’s opinion, she see once the service gets out in full force they are going to drop Dish Network.

She said it would be in my neighborhood in three to six months, so I think I am going to wait to check this out.
