• XM is experiencing technical difficulties. I’ll confirm that, as the XM receiver in my car has been having a heck of a time getting more than a spotty-at-best signal.
• A possible conclusion to the Jericho story? I’m not going to hold my breath, but it would sure be a nice move from a network, for once. Believe me, I understand the reasons a show gets cancelled, and you can often try to fight it until you are blue in the face, but it would at the very least be nice of the networks to do a closing TV movie or mini-series with the intention of wrapping up the story for shows that are as serialized as Jericho, and in particular ones that go out on such a huge cliffhanger. So, CBS brass, let’s see if you can make the kind and considered move to give us fans closure for once. To see a major network actually respond to their viewers (who, btw, are in no way their customers - the advertisers are the customers and the viewers are nothing but a means to attract said customers) would be to see programming intelligence on the part of the network execs for once. I mean, I would be far more likely to commit to watching a CBS show next season over one from another network if I had more confidence in them not leaving us fans hanging when the shows profitability goes down.
• Here’s a very nice, new Western Digital 250gb laptop hard drive.
• Last but not least, I’m laying down an ultimatum for myself (but not a Bourne Ultimatum). The new version of this web site will launch by Memorial Day. I’m on vacation this week and can finally dedicate some time to getting the ducks in a row, or at the very least in a drunken semi-circle.

Random Fact Of The Day: Coffee is the second largest item of international commerce in the world. The largest is petrol.

Dialog Of The Day: “Lick the light switch.” (The Brass Monkey, voiced by Ted Dykstra in Wonderfalls 1.11)

Video Of The Day: The first preview for The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I’ll admit that it looks problematic at best. The actor playing the kid looks pretty lame. But, it’s got Summer Glau as a friendly terminator, which is enough to make me want to watch basically anything. I said it before and I’ll say it again: this is sci-fi on Fox, I give it a life expectancy of 4 episodes - 6 at best.
