Hey Hey in HD

Published on September 30, 2009 in My Life and My Media. 0 Comments

Tonight after what they called a “10 year Christmas break”, the cast and crew of Hey Hey it’s Saturday returned to Australian TV screens … On a Wednesday.

My wife and I were excited to see it’s return and couldn’t believe how instantly familiar it was.

It was a little surreal watching to Darryl and the gang talk about Facebook and Twitter in Widescreen HD Digital. But it was also a reminder of just how much variety television has become a lost art.

Over all I found it thoroughly entertaining. It was just as “fun” as I remembered it and it aired on a night where I needed to forget about things for an hour or 2. I am looking forward to more of the original cast returning next week.

Welcome back Hey Hey! We missed you!

September TV

Published on September 21, 2009 in My Life and My Media. 0 Comments

I just had a look at my Online TV Calendar and boy is there a lot of new TV coming back this week! Late September is typically when the US networks start their show seasons.

On my list this week is:

  • Curb Your Enthusiasm;
  • Entourage (has been back for 10 episodes now);
  • House;
  • How I Met Your Mother;
  • Heroes;
  • Bones (started last week);
  • The Office (started last week);
  • Smallville; and
  • Dollhouse.

I had better queue up my trusty old VCR (aka the internet).

Well if you are reading this you have tracked down my blog at this, its spunky new location. I have been intending to move my blog here for some time and I won’t lie, my recent wrestle with malware flagging was a strong motivator.

For those who have just tuned in, malware was detected redirecting people to a different website from my website. So Google’s flagging service (though current browsers) stopped this by redirecting people to a different website from my website. Hmmm … and I didn’t even have to ask!

For the record, I successfully cleaned my site days ago. Currently my old domain is EMPTY and still being flagged. Fail. But hey Google, your maps are cool and I use stacks of your other free services so I forgive you.

Anyway, back to blogging!
I’ve been pretty busy with music this year and it is gearing up to be a jam packed last few months of the year. I am performing gigs with the following groups:

Stay tuned, more to come …
