![]() There was almost no talk about politics or racism or COVID or brain injuries or anything. I guess it was mostly the Giants doing well that kept me interested? Maybe also that, this season, football seemed to be just about football. I really got interested in football this season, and that was kind of a surprise to me, since I’ve been losing interest gradually for quite some time now. The Giants lost to the Eagles last night, so my interest in football for this year is mostly done, though I might watch the rest of the playoffs and the SuperBowl anyway. So I guess I’m sticking with minimal cable + TiVo for now, even though TiVo seems to be in a slow death spiral, and my cable provider’s support for CableCARD is probably dicey at this point. And some of the streaming services like Hulu + Live TV include the major broadcast networks, but that costs $70/month, which is way more than Broadcast Basic is costing me. AntennaWeb still indicates that I’d need a major-league outdoor antenna to pick up anything from here. First, it looks like I would still have no luck with an antenna. This news got me curious about what alternative are out there to watch broadcast TV, rather than cable + TiVo, for me. Kind of sad to see this going away, though I hadn’t used it much since I dropped back to the Broadcast Basic cable plan. On a completely different subject, I just got a notification that TiVo is turning off their suggestions feature. (Certainly better than the domain squatters who had been sitting on it every other time I’ve gotten curious about it over the years.) Anyway, they seem like a lovely couple, and I hope they have a great wedding! Turns out that another Heather and Patrick are using it as a website for their upcoming wedding! That’s kind of nice. But, just for yuks, I decided to see what, if anything was at that domain now. Heather gave up the domain name for that,, a long time ago, after Patrick passed away. I was also looking around at the “on this day” links on the sidebar of my blog, and noticed this one, originally linking to the website that my brother Pat and his wife Heather set up. I’d been holding out some hope that Elon would reverse course and turn the API access back on, but I guess not. ![]() So I guess I should remove it from my iPhone and iPad and give up on Twitter completely now. I thought I should mention Twitterrific again, as it now seems to be 100% officially dead. TiVo reserves the right to terminate this promotion at any time without notice.So it’s Sunday morning again, and I’m futzing around on my laptop, aimlessly, as is my wont.
