More ComCast Hating

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Since I’m on a roll with posts about how crappy ComCast is, I thought I would share with you this little gem I came across today. engadget is covering a report that ComCast has sent The NFL Network a ‘cease and desist’ letter in regards to the website iwantnflnetwork.com which encourages people to [...]

After failing to properly set up my cable service Monday, ComCast will be sending another technician out to my house today. What fun!? My friend Amanda gave me a great idea with her comment yesterday, I think I’ll live blog today’s experience. Check to this post around 11a as I’ll be updating [...]

Parking Arrogance

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

A note I will be leaving on a car in my new neighborhood:

If you can afford a BMW 7 Series, why are you living in an apartment? Did you completely blow your load on your car and now can’t afford to live anywhere else?
If you’re so worried that your precious piece of German pretentiousness [...]

Be Honest

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

Has anyone ever had a positive experience with ComCast? I don’t see how it would be possible. Any time I’ve ever needed ComCast to do something, they have required at least two attempts before being able to help me. And it’s not like I’m asking for complicated shit either.
Me: I would like [...]

Moved

Monday, November 12th, 2007

For the most part, I’m all moved in to my apartment in Buckhead. The ComCast guy shows up today to restore tasty HD sustenance to Sam, my 61″ Samsung television. Yes, I have a 61″ TV in my tiny ass apartment. I also have a king size bed, what?
It kind of sucked [...]

The Reverend

Last night I drug Lori and Brian to the Reverend Horton Heat show at the Roxy. It was the first time I’ve been to the Roxy since seeing They Might Be Giants years and year and years ago… Not much has changed.
By the time we got there, the first opening act, Nashville [...]

If you’re sick, don’t go into the office.
Others suffer…

Moving

Monday, November 5th, 2007

I have finally decided to take the plunge and move into the city. After 4 months of getting up at 5a to avoid traffic during the 30mi drive to work, I’ve had enough. I have found a decent (read: incredibly small) apartment within walking distance to my office in Buckhead. Yeah, yeah… [...]

Check

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

In an effort to avoid the hellish Halloween traffic yesterday, I met up with a buddy who works nearby for happy hour. It wouldn’t be until the following day and over a thousand dollars before I found out traffic wasn’t actually that bad.
Damnit.
