Sep 14

  • Exciting times are upon us! I have to say I'm enjoying reading up on everyone's pastimes in other blogs. Several of my co-workers run at least one of many blogs (sorry I do work in technology), and it is a great way to see the world through someone else's voice for a change.
  • One thing I've recently caught on to in San Francisco is the really bad TV I'm offered on basic cable. I don't watch a lot of TV as it is, but when I do, I find it's split between the following:
    • K-RON (or as I like to say "kron")
    • Cable 36 - Tyra Banks - more on this below
    • National Geographic Channel
    • CNN/HNN
    • Comedy Central
At this point I hope you're asking yourself why I have decided to tune into Tyra Banks. Since the show is on every other hour here in San Francisco, how can I not watch it? If you must know, she does have some pretty edgy and controversial topics that, as a talk show host, push the envelope. This week for example, there was an interesting segment on racism (which race has it worst via focus groups), and Internet porn predators (they exposed some sicko on her show who decided it was ok to be perverse in front of a self-proclaimed 14 year old girl - gross). I'm glad Tyra moved on from the catwalk to raise the Jerry-Springer bar.

Maybe one of these days I'll have to get TiVo.
