Colorado Avalanche Hockey Radio Broadcast Needs Improvement
Congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche for taking down the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout tonight, but something needs to be done about the signal strength of the Avalanche radio broadcast.
I live in the north metro area and there is overlap from another channel and you can barely hear the broadcast. For a National Hockey League team that is unacceptable.
Also, a couple of weeks ago they weren’t even on the usual channel. I had to hunt around for them.
When they were on the Fan, things were so much easier. You knew what radio station they were on. If it wasn’t the main one, you went to the secondary.
I guess Stan the Man trying to make an extra buck and not renewing the contract with the Fan is the problem. Colorado Avalanche fans deserve better.
FasTracks a must for the future of Metro Denver
I just want to say that the future of the Metro Denver/Boulder region is FasTracks.
No ands, ifs, or buts about it.
For those of you who live outside of the Metro Denver/Boulder area, Fast Tracks is the plan to add light rail and train service to the west, north, and east to Denver International Airport of the next 7-9 years. Work has even begun on the west line that parallels 6th Avenue.
The problem is that the project is conservatively $3 billion over budget.
When the proponents made the original estimates, to get the project approved through a ballot measure, they failed like many businesses and government agencies to factor in a contengency if the price escalated. And it did with the price of cement and steel going through the roof.
But what do we do now? Read more
Merry Christmas
I just want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday.
Walmart moves into social media with commercial
Walmart ran the following commercial in movie theaters and it is quite catchy. It even discusses Facebook and Twitter.
Well it looks like it has caught on Walmart has put it on YouTube. It was put on YouTube long after I saw it in the movie theater. They also put a link to the movie on its own website where you can download the mp3, sheet music, or read the lyrics.
I would say it is quite ingenius on Walmart’s part to do this, although it was slower than it should have been.
Terminix - Improve your account management
Terminix, you need to improve your account managment site on the web. Something has changed over the last few months.
Before, I could manage my account and pay my bill online using my MacBook Pro. But no more.
I have been trying to pay my account online for the past month and your account pages kept timing out on me in both Firefox and Safari. No real reason, just did.
I thought that you were doing maintenance in the evening when I was trying to pay my bills. But tonight it finally got to me and I tried to pay my bill on our Windows XP machine using Internet Explorer.
Low-and-behold it worked just fine, like clockwork.
I don’t know what you have done in the last few months, but you have taken your account management online presence to the dark ages by making it only work with Internet Explorer on a Windows machine.
You are eliminating a lot of people by doing this. In today’s web presence, it shouldn’t matter if you are on a Windows, Mac, or Linux. It shouldn’t matter if you are using Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.
Terminix, get with the times and and make your account management presence on the web platform agnostic.
Malawi makes strides and now is exporting food
After suffering through a deadly drought, the government of Malawi took the bold step, and ignored the United States and European Union, and developed a seed giveaway program.
Well guess what happened, they have had two bumper crops and are now exporting food to their neighboring countries. Quite a success story.
I found this story on NBC Nightly News and it caught my attention.
