I'm A Problem Solver – DTV Transition

Feb 22, 2009 8:24 AM

I can’t believe that Congress and the new administration actually passed an extension for the US Digital TV transition deadline, but alas – here we are. But look, I’ve solved the entire problem in two minutes. After the deadline, display this test card on the analog channels for one week. When old people find out their TV no longer works, they’ll call a somebody young and useful to the world and find they need a converter box or a new television in order to keep watching Wheel of Fortune and Matlock.

You’re welcome, federal government.

Back from SF, catching up.

Well, after three weeks, I’m back in Santa Barbara and have returned to UCSB just in time for two back-to-back midterms and a paper due on Thursday. The time in San Francisco was fun, but I’m glad to be home. While there, I registered as a communist, bought a Prius and was forced to marry Clay Aiken – I guess there’s some new law? In all seriousness, I saw more people wearing Barack Obama shirts in five minutes downtown than I have in Santa Barbara in the past twenty months. I’ll add a few photos to Flickr when I have a spare moment and sort out all the things I’m behind on.

Posting should return with some semblance of regularity later on this week.
