Surly Curly, Network President

In honor of (in spite of, because of) SciFi Channel's decision to rename themselves SyFy (there aren't words, I tell you), I've decided to launch my own science fiction network. Coming to a cable system near you on or around May 25, 2011. More to come about my hate of wrestling (WRESTLING!) on a science fiction channel and why you shouldn't turn your back on your core audience. But check it out: asimovtv.blogspot.com

Why Asimov? He's not my favorite science fiction or fantasy writer, but he was one of my first. And, I'm guessing the same could be said for a lot of other people. One automatically thinks science fiction when they hear his name. It's an association hard-wired into the brains of millions. (Plus, it sounds cool.)

Surly Razr

When I text, I let my phone predict what I’m typing and at the end, I go back and proofread/edit. Today, I intended to text “Have fun!” to my sister. But my phone’s first go at it was “Hate fun?” What a glass half-empty view of the world my little Razr has.

Why so sad, Motorola Razr?
