Hurry up! Your missing all the fun!

Turn off the TV and support your podcasters!

I have made the decision finally to something that has been hovering around for a few months now.

I am going to give up TV.

OK, that sounds like a big thing and to be honest I won't give it up entirely.

I am however tired of chasing TV in a way I have never had to do in the past and it has become both frustrating and boring at the same time.

I have found myself just drifting away from all the shows I used to watch. Many of them were just boring rehashes of past shows that I do not need to see over and over again.

Others are 30 minute shows extended to 60 minutes with re-cap's before and after every ad break so I end up being told the same things over and over with very little new content. I have stopped watching those and any I do watch I now fast forward, though as they annoy me, they are destined for the bin too.

I have issues with shows that pretend to be new, some have new in the title, some have new in the description, you watch them and you have seen them before, so they are NOT new. Why do the tv companies lie to me, what they think I will have forgotten?

Also the ones that truly are new either aren't marked as new or get lost in the sea of shows saying they are new but are not, so they get missed.

I will watch the things I can find that are obviously new and interest me but those are becoming harder and harder to find.

All in all, its just too much hard work on my part, when it should be the tv companies doing the hard work and I have just had my fill of that. So they lost me.

On a more positive note, what I am doing is listening to more podcasts at a time when I see more and more podcasters stop producing their shows and that really saddens me.

If anyone has heard of me, it's probably due to my mentions on various podcast shows. I am not out to seek the limelight, in fact if I wanted that I would have just kept doing my own show, which I did for four years.

No, what I have been seeking to do is to talk to the podcasters, show interest and a little bit of love so that they feel that what they are doing is worth something to someone out there, which all of them are, even if we don't say it.

The trouble is, by not saying anything we are loosing them.

Please, make it part of your day to send a commment or something to your favourite podcaster, make them know, without a doubt, that you are there and what they are doing interests you, communicate with them.

Please!

Barcode Birthday, think of the candles!

That says SteveINtheUKok in Barcode (Code 128 to be exact)

Ooooh! It's been a while since I last posted hasn't it and it was such an angry one, well I have been sitting in a darkened room with a damp sponge on my head to keep me calm :-)

Well today is the 57th birthday of the barcode, so someone remind me in three years :-)

What is with the weird birthday reminders we seem to get a lot of these days?

It's anything for a party isn't it, which come to think of it, is not a bad idea, someone turn on the music!

Until the next time, bit of an empty post today, but there will be more, now I am back in the mood!

P.S. Does a barcode birthday cake come with lots of thick and thin candles? LOL
