Is it me or did Thanksgiving day jump up a week??  I could swear we still had another week before turkey day.. Wow.. ummm  anyway here we are just about knocking on the "real" holiday season (although I count Halloween as well) and just floored that it is almost here.. Anyway, the search continues for the streaming player, not sure which one I want as the confusion begins to become overwhelming.. I tend to research things until there can be no question THIS is the "IT"  device in all things, as mentioned in an earlier entry no doubt.. So what is the confusion?  I liken this search to the one I did for the right satellite service and I remember going to a Sears store and talking to their "expert" techie guy and asked him some question about the receiver and he told me they are alike from top to bottom, they get the same programming (wrong)  they install the same exact way pointing to the exact same location (wrong). And so now I kinda have the same reservations searching for the right streaming player, I feel like I have to know just about as much as the sales person.. I guess the one thing I am looking for is the player that will give the moneys worth (bang for the buck as they say) and through a reamped up effort I have emailed several sites hoping for that answer that will give me the green light for the player I am after..  Earlier in the summer (yadda  yadda  Sony  yadda  yadda)  (from an earlier entry or two, I won't bore you AGAIN)  but the Sony did look like the clear winner but everywhere I have looked nobody has this player, and then I find out it is discontinued, which could mean a few things of which being grateful that I didn't get one is one of them...  So what am I looking for??  Three separate players that get YouTube as a third draw although it is a main draw since I have an account there and have subscriptions to many   many sites.. The one question I can't get answered is how do these players get YouTube, is it a preset site that these go to, or can I go to my site.. That right now is the stumbling block to getting one of these "not a Roku" streaming players.. But a couple weeks ago I look at Roku just as a lark and damn but these are very attractive because of the immense amount that these can get to.. I'm not even sure my little brother knows about everything that Roku has right now  (600 sites)..  But is more better or even that important.. The Magnavox player that I am nearly set on, I contacted the QVC site and asked what all this gets and I think the person read the box or the page it was on and told me the seven that the page has.. seven.. SEVEN??  Netflix is the greatest draw, Youtube (if I can watch any videos that are on that site, no restrictions) is the second draw and HULU eventually if cable becomes too pricey..  But only seven was a slap in the face with Roku having  world in comparison.. So when I got that response it floored me.. While it does have those two that I want, how much more would I need and then I decided to check the RCA player, the NETGEAR players and see how they compare.. Netgear might be a close second with the Magnavox in first on name alone.. the Netgear players say they have hundreds of sites available but without talking to someone in the know, I won't make my mind up until I have all the information I need to know to make my mind up..  Welcome to my insanity..

Video project almost completed??  Can this be??  Last night I got two more videos completed and am now at the magic 16 level.. Sixteen videos of which ten will be on the blogger site (PNOP) but I was thinking maybe I will try to have the first entry be the weekend of Thanksgiving rather than wait until January for the first one.. I don't want to say this project is done even when it is because I had two ideas hit me yesterday (last night) that saw me want to complete them even though it saw me get to bed by midnight..  One of the ideas was so involved I figured it might take until now to get it completed.. It will take a few hours to complete, and I'm not sure how good it will be..   So why didn't the pink floyd project ever get off the ground??  When I started to acquire video material for this idea it became clear that all the floydian music ideas were taken, and that these videos I couldn't find a feeling that matched the music to the videos that I got in those sessions.. 

That secede situation:  Yeah I found that it has become sort of a movement.. They keep saying "but look at all the red on the map"  and I have said all along that the election comes down to a handful of states, the two guys focused on just a few states and not at all on the others and I have said all along that I wished I felt as charged as they must feel in these other states about the election.. Geez to have my vote courted the way they did for those three or four states, I'd wonder how it would feel to have someone want my vote that bad.. Well the people who want to form their own government should focus on the one that is already there.. try to reform the election somehow.. Or better yet pay more attention to the way things are going in Washington for the next four years and get out the vote, get someone who will work to make this country great again.. But what will happen is the bru ha ha will die down after Thanksgiving and everyone will assume everything is alright in Washington.. I say pay more attention, watch the real news channels (not FAUX NEWS CHANNEL) get on your elected official and make things work.. You want a better country, make it here..
