9/11/02 TV blackout
Hmm...I will be unplugging my TV the entire month of September. I went through it once, no need to go through it again. Rumour has it that there'll be tremendous amounts of bulemic media ejecta, and I want to stay clear of the spew.
And here's another Washington Post article about how web logs are keeping the media honest. However, I think the time has come to deliniate different types of bloggers and blogging, just like now there's all sorts of webmaster titles (content management, design, web programming, etc.), there needs to be different names for bloggers. For example, I'm not in the same category as Andrew Sullivan or Jocko. One is an accomplished writer and the other points out highlights in art, while I blather on and on about hotties and this season's gourd crop. I propose that there be possible blogger categorizations such as: political, art, personal, heart-on-my-sleeve, project progress, event coverage, etc.

Um, are you on crack?
You'll have the T.V. off on Sept. 24????????
And if you even need to ask why - therapy is definitely required.

No, I can't even afford crack right now, so I'm not on it. I assume you're talking about the Buffy premiere? OK, I will turn on the television at that time. And for Enterprise, if they can prove to have a better season for me this year.

Revealing the Trek geek side of me:
Regarding the first season of Enterprise, please refer to the first season episdoes of TNG. They are sometimes rather painful to watch. I remember critical reviews of the first season were not very good either.
Give the cast and writer's another season. It usually takes that long for everything to gel. Besides, I'm kind of enjoying a look back into the history of the Trek universe.

Re: TNG's early seasons. I wholeheartedly agree. If I see a clean-shaven Riker, I change the channel.
I will commend those responsible for more flesh than usual in ST. I can deal with the inconsistencies if I get to see Scott Bakula in his boxer briefs.

Oh yeah, how easily I forget: Daddy Bakula in his briefs, Bakula shirtless in the desert, Bakula in 0 gravity in his shower, all wet. I guess there was one reason to watch it.
And let's not forget Trip's huge photon cannon.
