I Really Wanna Kick Something…

I woke up today looking forward to watching the new Doctor Who & Torchwood seasons tonight.  So I check the schedule on the Comcast’s service and I find it’s Robin Hood tonight through to Graham Norton.

WHAT?

Well, maybe it’s just a small change.  Maybe it’s a week delay, or some sort of “please watch Robin Hood” thing that is temporarily interrupting my Supernatural Saturday fun.

Several people have been telling me over the past two weeks about the Firefox 3 Beta, and how it’s better than sex or food or sleep.

And I’ve been skeptical. I’ve heard the Apple fanboys go off about the iPhone (myself included, but mostly to aggravate my boss,) and then the Microsoft fanboys go off about Vista (again, myself included, but only to aggravate the Apple fanboys,) so I need to do some research myself.
