Television

It amazes me the variety of different shows one can find on the tube. Our favorites include:

 

Monday – CSI: Miami

Tuesday –

Wednesday – CSI: New York

Thursday – Survivor, CSI

Friday – Ghost Whisperer, Close to Home

Saturday –

Sunday – Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

 

These are the regular shows. In the past two months I recall also watching: Simpsons, Futuroma, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, FearFactor, COPS, Junk Bros., MythBusters, America’s Got Talent, Deal or No Deal,

 

And regular sports broadcasts of: golf, college basketball, football, world cup soccer, tennis, the occasional hockey game, and any one of those japenese game shows.

 

All in all I average 12 hours tv per week. 8 is my minimum, and some weeks I can watch 20 hours.

 

Pretty sad.

Calgary Flames and my son the sports fan

I took Dawson to his second NHL game last night. Sure it was only pre-season, but NHL is NHL to us. All the way to the Saddledome Dawson spoke of how the Flames suck and he is a big Canucks fan. Well it took the first Calgary goal to change his mind. As soon as the flames came shooting up from the overhead torches he became in-love with the “Flames”. We left there with a much lighter wallet. With a t-shirt, Iginla commerative coin, and a 24 month sleeper for his 11 month old brother, we are now true Flames fans.

 

I have not mentioned to him my love for the Oilers. I’ll save that for the next game.

Guy Kawasaki - Art of the Start

The original Mac evangelist, Guy Kawasaki, has a great new book. I have not read it, but here is a link to him presenting the contents of chapter 1.
