Ok this is a new doctor, and I was here early, so let’s see how good they are as far as being timely in honoring their appointments…

Sirius Purge

admin — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:54:52 +0000

I have had enough of Sirius XM, and I started the purge today, by shutting off the first of my radios, and will continue to drop the other 3 as they approach renewal, with the last being the one in my truck which expires 2/1/2011.

I am thoroughly convinced these guys running Sirius have no clue on what is going around them. I don’t think they understand how much they industry has changed in the past few years, or how much it will change in the coming years. They need to get away for the hardware, something they do badly, and concentrate on the content. All the cross promotion needs to go away, I could care less what’s on the elvis channel, and I could care even less about what Richard Blade did last night or what pathetic mundane problem is ruining Madison’s life today, shut up and play music.

I bought Sirius for one thing and one thing only, Howard Stern… I was perfectly happy with what XM was playing in my truck on the way to and from work, and when I got to work I wanted to listen to Howard, but even Howard is starting to bore me, it almost seems formulaic, all the spontaneity seems going, and I am even more pissed when it appears that Howard killed the availability of 100 and 101 from the iPhone app, he claims to be a company guy, yeah right… I feel that Howard will continue broadcasting, but not on Sirius, but some other method of delivery, and thats where I’ll probably end up…

The other thing is where are all the cost savings, the converged content, the improved capabilities that were promised from the merger, look at all the new hardware, it all appears to be XM branded, only working on XM, and you have to add the Best of sirius…

Going forward I am going to start taking the money I would have spent on Sirius, and continue to grow my iTunes Library, so that in a year I’ll have what I want to listen to when I want to listen to it without being annoyed by silly top 40 radio tactics…

Norv Turner Must Go, NOW…

admin — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 02:02:57 +0000

If my memory serves me, Marty had three failed attempts in the playoffs, before the Chargers fired him, now Norv has now had three failures in the post season. Norv inherited a team with tremendous talent, and has done nothing with it. Aside from the totally stupid penalties, that had to be some of the stupidest play calling in a post season game.

The Chargers have the second worst running game in the NFL, and the Jets have one of the best run defenses in the NFL, so why did they try to run in critical situations…

Even though Norv is the winningest coach in the history of the Chargers, Norv still needs to go 8 and ) to get to .500 as a head coach

The only question is, when Norv is fired who do they replace him with, Jim Zorn?

Back in California

Well it’s been a little over 2 years since I’ve been back to San Diego, but now I’m back at least for a couple days…
