Bye-bye Comcast?
As explained previously, I have Verizon FiOS for my Internet service, and I’m quite happy with it compared to Comcast, which I still have for cable TV. But now I can get FiOS TV. The announcement for my town came out last week, following approval by the board selectmen (no mayor, have we). Is it time to cut the Comcast coax?

I confess to being late coming to the fold of Stephen Colbert fans. It was an article in Newsweek early this year that brought him to my attention.
Before getting his own show, Colbert was, of course, on The Daily Show. Steve Carell (who, by coincidence, graduated from the same high school that I did in Massachusetts*) was also on the show, but he left to join the cast of The Office.
Lately Jon Stewart, perhaps feeling nostalgic for the good old days, has been running clips of Steven and Stephen in action together. Click the picture to watch. Some of this is outright hilarious comedic acting.

This Week’s Comics
Lately, the fun in the Sunday comics hasn’t been in the strips, which are mostly mediocre, but with a comic-book that’s being inserted with the flyers. It features reprints of the earliest Spider-Man stories by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
Each comic is 16 pages total, the printing quality is excellent and, hey, they’re free! This nifty promotion is from SmartSource, the coupon distributor. To see a list of all the participating newspapers, click here.
Popeye the Sailor Animan
My first favorite cartoon character was Popeye. Here’s Popeye finding himself in the totally incomprehensible world of today’s animated offerings.
This is a YouTube™ video, so if the area above is blank, don’t blame me!
