Miles and Miles of Texas…not today

DPS SealA tip of my (not ten-gallon) hat to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

I renewed my driver’s license online today and I figure they saved me at least an hour of driving time, an hour or so of standing in line aggravation, and a gallon or so of gas.

Thanks to DPS!

Blue Morning, Blue-Ray

blu-rayI’m a sucker for an easy bet.

Back…oh, 6 or so months ago, I wondered who’d win the high definition DVD battle;

Toshiba HD DVD or Sony Blu-ray.

What prompted me was an article I read where Netflix had wholly endorsed HD DVD…or something to that effect…I don’t remember the details. Regardless, I thought HD DVD was a sure thing for that reason, plus Microsoft backed it.

Be glad I’m not a day-trader working your money;

Toshiba officially threw in the towel and the now ubiqutious Blu-Ray will rule the day. Naturally, former supporters moved quickly to Blu-ray, notably Wal-Mart and Netflix. Target and Blockbuster had already made the decision earlier. Meanwhile, Microsoft eschews the obvious.
