Yo!
Geez, this has to be, I think, the second-latest I've ever been with my weekly Blog posting in the six months I've been at this continuously. Getting to it, though, I don't actually have any major, interesting observances to comment on this week, so I'll just say a couple really brief things about the Sirius Satellite Radio free preview period.
For the uninformed, last Thursday and Friday... or was it Wednesday and Thursday; I forgot... Sirius ran a free preview period where anyone can get onto sirius.com and listen in to all their streamable online channels including all their commercial-free music channels and yes, both of Howard Stern's channels. Anyone who can do enough basic math to figure out how to put in any number lower than 1988 as their birth year so they can pose as being over 18 to hear Howard's uncensored stuff without their parents finding out, at least.
It's my understanding that this preview period did exactly what you'd think it would do: get loads more potential subscribers interested enough to fork down the $12.95/mo for a full subscription. Loooooooads more. Big move for Sirius right there, officially putting it in "free preview once a year or so" territory formerly dominated by certain digital cable TV channels, like HBO or Starz. .....I suppose. .......since a pay-radio service doesn't really fit into a category with premium movie channels without the common denominator of transmittable by satellite. Sorry guys, I'm kinda off-guard here. I kinda had a crazy weekend and I didn't have much of a chance to think about what I'd write about tonight.
...................................Uuuuuummmmmmm........ The WWE is having a super-interactive Pay-Per-View "Cyber Sunday" event. That's pretty big. ...but that happens next Sunday. ...................Did anything major happen in TV/movies/internet/music this past week...................? You know what, I'll open up the floor. I know I have plenty of readers here, since my hit counter just topped 800 page views this morning, so I'll just ask you guys to help me out this time. Any of you guys out there know of anything major worth fully blogging about this week.......? Please leave comments on this post with your suggestions and I'll keep checking back and posting stuff on it when I can this week. Just consider this one a "rolling post," I guess. You know, 'cause of the whole rolling off-and-on during the week, ongoing thing this week.
Back to business-as-usual next week, though. ....I'm sure. ...But that's just me (sorry, you know I had to somehow end with that sentence).
Later.
-D.
ADDENDUM TO BLOG (10/31/06 9:16am): Saw 3! Number one movie last weekend! I knew I was forgetting to mention something... Oh, and that Lionsgate franchise is coming out with the fourth film in as many years, next year. More info HERE. Other than that, anything else worth mentioning, people.....?
