I have been delinquent in posting parts one and two of my quest for digital cablecards with Time Warner Cable here in Austin, TX…but, they weren’t very exciting anyway. Then again, part three really wasn’t very exciting, but things are looking better. Cablecard Install Part I Part One was actually an eye opener for me.

Danielle asked me if we could scan a document to PDF recently and I forgot I had a nice “old” Epson Perfection 1650 flatbed scanner laying around (well preserved).  I have been spoiled in recent times because we had a very nice enterprise level printer/scanner at the office with a 50 page document feeder on it. It would man handle a 2 page document and email it to me almost faster than I could make it back to my desk.  These days, we are rollin’ with the Perfection 1650 flatbed…OG style homey

Cafes are still struggling to sort out their identities with everyone toting a laptop and wanting Internet access: My friend Cyrus Farivar tipped me to a cafe near him in Oakland, Calif., that’s trying not just turning off Wi-Fi, but asking folks to not use laptops at all. (That solves the 3G card problem, too.) The Actual Cafe’s owner, Sal Bednarz , posted a long entry on the experiment on a blog about the decision

Rudy's BBQ is the Real Deal Installment number one, of what will hopefully be a long, drawn out, series of reviews spanning decades (because there are so many bbq joints to hit in TX) reviewing BBQ spots in Texas.  This really should be installment number two, Green Mesquite, being number one, but Rudy’s is fresh on my mind so it goes first. Rudy’s on 360, Austin, TX Seeing how we live very close to Rudy’s on Loop 360 it got the nod today for our family BBQ outing.  We had planned on heading out to the famous Salt Lick, but seeing how it was 35 degrees at 1:30, we opted for something closer and that we knew had indoor seating.  I did a quick peek at some reviews of Rudy’s on Yelp and I quickly became very excited about our choice.  Rudy’s has some 27 locations spread across Texas , and from what I understand, they all have gas stations attached to them….clearly something that probably wouldn’t fly back in Cali.  We walked in and were greeted with a “welcome y’all” from one of the girls behind the cash register and while extremely friendly, it threw us off a bit. You see, there are cash registers to the left as you walk in, but there is an ordering corral (like the security line at the airport) weaving back and forth up to a counter manned by 5 or 6 people.  Danielle blurted out, “this is our first time here.” The girl told us to head up threw the line to our right and they will take care of us…she also mentioned that we should tell the person helping us that it was our first time

I have seen some pretty crazy, disgusting, and just unbelievable ads on Craigslist in my time, however I never saw anything quite like this before. This man decided to post an ad on CraigsList offering to trade his left testicle for one Super Bowl XLIV ticket. I gotta admit the ad is funny

Southwest announced on its blog that it’s signed a contract and the next steps have begun for Wi-Fi: This is good news for Row 44 and its investors, as Row 44 has two airlines (Alaska and Southwest) that want its satellite-based Internet service, but until today there was no word of how that was going to proceed for either airline. On the blog, Southwest’s Dave Ridley wrote that the airline will start installations in the second quarter of 2010, and install about 15 aircraft a month from a fleet of 540 with a goal to ramp up to 25 planes a month. That puts them at 2012 on this scheduled for full-fleet rollout.
