Gone are the days of being full on a month ahead on the PNOP blog.. A full month, with the month being filled.. The last few entries and a few more to come have added material starting today from other sites.. Now that the RSS reader has been set to a more manageable size I am trying it out and finding that it is still many hundred sites to big, but it will be a process over the next few weeks or months to decide what stays and what goes.. Using sites like reddit and that type for my true information and NOT adding any of the sites that look interesting for the reason stated before..
Trying to decide does this site need to have more or whatever and the Roku helps decide.. It is so strange to talk to someone about something I saw either here or on the Roku and have them not know until two days later.. Case in point the heat wave in Australia, I saw it was mentioned on one of the sites I follow and then two days later mainstream media here in America reports on it.. Having the AOL.ON site on Roku gives me the ability to see the stories I want to.. So much better than any news outlet on cable tv..
I started that series from the BBC last night called Survivors ... Quite the series, but it is kinda scary to watch now what with the flu going around so seriously.. The night before I watched Tomorrow When The War Began .. It had a Red Dawn (the original) feel to it, set in Australia and a bunch of kids take on the Russians or whatever country invaded them.. It ended like there might be a sequel but then again.. Maybe they just ran out of money..
With the RSS being gone through once, I will go through and see what are good and necessary for what I use it for.. Then go through Facebook which I have "Liked" more sites than I think I need to have.. Then Twitter, get that down to a reasonable number.. Then the FVD speed dial thing.. Thinking back a year ago how I was trying to get my i-Google home page set and for a month or two it was set and then in May or around then the message appeared on the header stating they were going to discontinue the homepage.. Part of the reason they might be getting rid of it is some sort of agreement with Apple because of the name sort of an infringement on their "everything they make has the "i" in front of it.. I decided pretty much at that moment to get rid of the home page and got what I think is the best homepage I've ever had in that I don't have one.. Instead I have many, and that is how i-Google was anyway.. Now it is a matter of when to delete i-Google completely.. Sadly there were a few things I still like about it but.. Onward and upward.. Deleting i-Google will happen after the super bowl.. I thought I'd keep it until then..
A quickie here, as a BTO song is on the radio right now last week while the B&T show was in repeats they had the great Randy Bachman on and it was interesting to listen to him talk about songs and how they were written and something I already knew was some of the best songs are accidents.. Written in a quick setting.. He said he wrote American Woman one night after he broke a string at a gig and during his tuning he played the opening of the song.. Those power chords.. He said he thought it was good because people turned their heads and watched him and thought it was a song starting to be played.. Really cool.. Reminded me of being in a band and I would start playing a beat and the guitarist would start to jam and the bass player would come in.. Those were the days.. the only good thing about the band.. Actually there were others but, the creative side of the band was the best part of it for me.. Creating something out of nothing at all.. It felt good to do that..
