Starting with Chuck saved today
Thanks goodness. Chuck is saved. Kudo’s to Give Me My Remote for keeping this going, though as they mentioned, there were budget cuts and the season was extended for only 13 episodes instead of 22. I’ll keep riding that horse as I love that show 
Something else that I’m pretty passionate about is Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is basically a free and open internet. I remember sitting in a room 10 years ago and trying to justify why a $350 million company needed a web site (incidentally I now have those same conversations about social media. Yes the world is round).
I’ll tell that story some other time but the point is that the web has developed into an integral part of people’s lives. Now my lovely Comcast cable company wants to put bandwidth limits on how much I can use my internet connection. I don’t use anywhere near the cap but I’m sure it’s only a coincidence that I can tell a significant decrease in my speed since the cap was instituted (though the communication from Comcast was that this wouldn’t be the case).
Cory Doctorow from the Guardian makes some good points on why we can’t let ISP’s control our bandwidth.
Something else near and dear to my heart…food If I were still single I would buy this table in a heart beat. Made for those dinner in small spaces or as a single at home.
Has anybody been to the Screen on the Green events. I think my friend Karen used to go quite a bit. We made it down once as I recall. Hope they are able to save it.
More fodder for your “can you get with the program and realize that the social web isn’t going way” folder. The International Advertising Bureau Sets Some Standards For Social Ads.
Finally, PC World has a nice section on everything you need to know about Twitter. Yeah know, I think my grandmother used to actually subscribe to PC World for years.

Twitter is mainstream
In case you haven’t noticed, Twitter is mainstream. I mean really, are you surprised. When Business Week is putting articles out on CEO twitter accounts…well…that speaks for itself.
For crimeny sakes, we just had a guy tweet from outerspace. I’d like to see some pictures, too, Jennifer. Hopefully Mike Massimino, a.k.a Astro_Mike, took his camera.
Twitter traffic is ramping up. How much? Well, according to compete.com, Twitter just surpassed the New York Times and Wall Street Journal for number of unique visitors last month, significantly.
If you’re still not on the bandwagon, here are some reasons you should be tweeting. It includes some tips for people just putting their toe in the water. If you’re ready to jump in with both feet, then hop on over to Computer World and their twitter Bible.
You can find my twitter stream in the sidebar on the right. If you’re in Calvert, and using twitter, let me know. I need to find some good people I can follow. The county moves fast
Save Chuck
If you’ve been following my twitter stream, you’ve seen where I’ve joined the Save Chuck movement. Mashable had an update today saying that the Save Chuck movement has gained a lot of attention at NBC.
Why shouldn’t it.
The networks need to figure out that a good sitcom that pulls in a million or so viewers is a foundation for their programming. There just are not that many American Idol and Dancing with the Stars programs out there.
We watch Chuck every week religously. The kids love it, I love it, and Peggy actually likes it. It’s well written, well acted and actually a good family show, which you really can’t find anymore.
If you haven’t checked it out, I urge you to give it a chance and be sure to sign up to Save Chuck.
