What does Comcast do when their company name is synonymous with lousy service.
28 Feb 2010 Author: Tbone In: I Don't get it Department, UncategorizedLogically I would think you might develop an action plan of some type to start addressing the problem. Maybe hire a team of consultants, of course that might have been part of the original problem. What is Comcast going to do? Change their name and stamp, “I fixed it” on the issue. I guess that means my download speeds will continue to trail far behind most of the world and the outages that come every couple of days are here to stay. You can read the story here.
And after all the Xfinity hype I’m surprised that “http://comcast.com/xfinity” gets “Page not found“. Did somebody forget the content?
In case Comcast ever reads this; Finity is from the latin word finis which means to end, or limited possible out comes. Putting and “X” in front of it just mean it will happen quicker.

Alec Garrard, 78, a retired farmer has spent more than 30 years building an enormous scale model of Herod’s temple. And get this – it’s still unfinished!
He dedicated a massive 33,000 hours to constructing the ancient temple, which measures a whopping 20ft by 12ft.
He hand-baked and painted every clay brick and tile and even sculpted 4,000 tiny human figures to populate the courtyards.
He spent more than three years researching the temple, which was destroyed by the Romans 2,000 years ago and deemed to be one of the most remarkable buildings of ancient times.
With this, his wife thinks he is nuts! (Full story)
… he started telling visitors that his wife had died, despite the fact that she was still very much alive, and that the “drunken nagging woman” who frequented the building was simply her ghost. (Read his bio)

MIAMI – In her 88 years, Florence Siegel has learned how to relax: A glass of red wine. A crisp copy of The New York Times, if she can wrest it from her husband. Some classical music, preferably Bach. And every night like clockwork, she lifts a pipe to her lips and smokes marijuana.
Long a fixture among young people, use of the country’s most popular illicit drug is now growing among the AARP set, as the massive generation of baby boomers who came of age in the 1960s and ’70s grows older.
Siegel walks with a cane and has arthritis
in her back and legs. She finds marijuana has helped her sleep better than pills ever did. And she can’t figure out why everyone her age isn’t sharing a joint, too.
“They’re missing a lot of fun and a lot of relief,” she said.
