It's

Not long ago, Twitpic posted on its own blog that it would be shutting down by September 25, 2014. Obviously, that didn't end up happening. When
Nothing like getting used to the wet dreary weather of fall. My trip has been a very busy one, but the weather has simply sucked. Ready to head back to Honolulu on Saturday weather willing as we have a tropical storm / possible hurricane headed that way... Short show tonight as the news cycle was slow, back in the studio
Cable-cutters, rejoice! HBO is going to be offered as a stand-alone streaming service in 2015. I would like to be optimistic and presume that this news will be followed by other offers of a similar nature for other cable channels. Could this be the start of a-la-carte cable?
