March 7, 2013 Turning on the TV in a hotel is interesting, almost like an anthropological experience, going back to a past age to experience media. As I flip through, I kind of wonder who watches this stuff, reality shows, singing shows, endless talk shows […]
January 28, 2013 I’ll admit it – I’m a surfer. Always have been. If I have a few minutes between tasks at work I love to surf the internet. If I’m watching TV by myself, I’ll just skip through the channels a couple of times […]
