    The Brothers Tsarnaev acted like terrorists but were radicalized lone wolves.

    Why I Hate the Super Bowl

    Kinda like the “Tea Party” but more peaceful eh?

    “Why I Hate the Super Bowl”

    I agree with a lot of that. I don’t hate it, but I seem a whole lot less invested in it than most, it feels like.

    I’m a Broncos fan, but I’ve become disillusioned since Tebow as let go and Manning took over. I’d been wishing for Manning to break something important for 10 years worth of playoffs against the Colts, now all the sudden I’m supposed to love him? I find it a strain.

    Now a guy has to endure pink uniforms, domestic violence PSAs, and soap opera drama designed propaganda just get through a game for cry’in out loud. It’s rapidly reaching the point of not being worth watching.

    I gotta admit though, it does reflect our society fairly accurately. A million rules totally subject to which ones officials want to call making themselves the biggest players in the game.

    A million rules totally subject to which ones officials want to call making themselves the biggest players in the game.

    However, the officials do not:

    1) Call the plays
    2) Design the uniforms
    3) Hire and fire the coaches
    4) Decide who plays for which team
    5) Decide which players should be on
    6) Say who’s a cheerleader and what they wear
    7) Regulate the concessions
    8) Call heads or tails for the teams
    9) Carry a ball into the end zone, scoring for a team
    10) Tackle the players
    11) Intercept passes
    12) Sack the QB

    Thereby mostly conserving the metaphor for what a limited gubmint looks like.

    “the officials do not..”

    It’s the commissioner and the consortium of team owners who set the rules. And their goal is to keep making money, so they give their pussified audience what they now want to see.

    Just another brick torn from the foundations, is all.

    Because you’ve been clamoring to know:

    I won a Roku3 in the office Christmas party raffle, for which I bought a 23″ flat-screen (my analog CRT from 1993 was strangely incompatible). I shed two digital-to-analog converters (antenna and DVD) but now I can’t use the VCR. Such hardship.

    I don’t have cable but antenna. Two power boosters daisy-chained into the antenna’s coax give me a good picture and lots of digital broadcast signals (50% of which are shopping channels). I hooked the Roku into my DSL router with a Cat5 cable (no wireless, thanks).

    So here’s what I’ve discovered about Roku:

    — You set up one Roku account with a credit card and a PIN, and from there you can subscribe to channels and buy programs from that one point.

    — Roku has a lot of ticky-tacky free offerings, and they’re worth every penny, IKNWIMAITYD.

    — When I add a channel via roku.com it can take 24 hours for it to show up on my Roku box.

    — The main Roku interface permits me to search all of the subscription services whether I have subscribed or not: Hulu Plus, Netflix, Amazon Prime, VuDu, HBO Go, Crackle, M-GO. From there, I was able to see that Amazon Prime was far more likely to have the stuff I was looking for.

    — So I got Amazon Prime (which I should have gotten long ago), which includes many TV series and movies with the subscription, but a lot of things cost something, from $0.99 to several dollars. That which is offered as part of the Prime package cannot be added to your watchlist.

    — I already had a Netflix DVD account, which I cancelled in favor of streaming. The DVD service is slightly more expensive but the selection is far more extensive than streaming. I might need to reinstate if I decide to go for really obscure stuff. However, all of the stuff Netflix offers is covered by the subscription: no extra charges.

    — I’m also doing the free Hulu Plus trial, to pick up those shows not found Amazon or Netflix. Hulu’s user interface is the worst of the three. I looked up a show and got a hit, but it was a Larry King interview with the cast. It’s hard to figure out how to find your watchlist.

    — All of the interfaces suffer from being cursor-based: you can click though things or do a search on one of those annoying keyboards where you point and click one letter at a time. Oddly enough, the QWERTY arrangement is harder to use than plain old alphabetical order.

    — I always come away with the feeling that I haven’t seen anyone’s entire catalog. Netflix tries to show you what you might be interested in based on what you’ve already watched or put on your watchlist. Amazon also suffers from not having much to browse through. Hulu’s genres are better organized, and at the end of each genre is an A-Z list so you can make sure you’ve looked at all of their offerings.

    — I had hoped I could open a browser with it to surf the internet; alas, no. They do have a YouTube interface, which is abysmally bad: all the letters in a straight, alphabetized line. I’d need a wireless connection to a smartphone or laptop to use a keyboard to search for a vid. I can subscribe to channels from that interface, though. However, the browsing feature shows very little.

    — Netflix and Amazon do a very annoying thing with TV series: as soon as the end credits come up, they minimize the vid you just watched and load the next one into the hopper, putting it on a countdown for launching the next in the series. I usually want to see the cast lists but can’t. Hulu refrains from this practice.

    — Curiously, watching live streams of TheBlazeTV is a better experience than loading up something from the archives: the archive version is higher-res, so it keeps stopping to buffer. (DSL, remember?) The live stream doesn’t have this problem. It is visibly lower-res, but who needs to see a bunch of fat guys with faces literally suited for radio? I can read the chyron and that’s good enough.

    — There must be a lot of licensing tie-ups to stream TV series and movies, because lots is missing from everyone’s offerings, especially old movies and TV series from the 1980-90s. Can’t find “Becker” (Ted Danson) or “Strange Luck” (only 1 season). Stuff like that.

    So right now I’m watching “Cheers” and “Midsomer Murders” on Netflix, “Jeeves & Wooster” on Hulu, and “Absolutely Fabulous” on Amazon. Nothing like starting your day with 20 minutes of Patsy & Edina to make the rest of your day surreal.

    My TiVo remote has a slider-style keyboard, and I can access Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Vudu, etc., through the TiVo.

    Downside: I don’t think this TiVo can work without a cable subscription.

    There ought to be a Roku remote with a slider-style keyboard, though…

    I hooked my PC up to the TV and it has a TV tuner card that lets the cable in. Browsing from the couch is super bad for my eyes though.

    So here’s a somewhat off-topic question: Why did the WaPo publish a story about the CIAs participation in the assassination-bombing of Imad Mughniyah back in Feb. 2008? Why were anonymous sources pushing the story to the WaPo? Is this simply tantamount to asking what’s in it for the ClownDisaster (well it certainly could be. And yet not necessarily so, since that’s part of the question. But why now?)?

    Palaeo, I had a laptop hooked up to our 60″ TV and had to have the text size on the web browser cranked up even bigger than on my phone.

    Either I’ll need a bigger TV or a smaller family room.

    Under the context of the general reading of the times in which we live, to say nothing of the context of this very tread in which the premise that Islamists are understood somehow to have nothing to do with Islam, how could it not sound plausible, palaeomerus?

    I can’t do it from the Roku interface.

    Thanks for the tip.

    I have nice monitors at work to watch things but I’ve got a nicer couch at home. That’s the deciding factor.
