An old friend comes to visit.
 
Well well well....

Guess what. I had a vist from my old friend Neil who is the son of another old friend who gets a very high rateings from me although I can't quite remember the company he works for. He brought lots of cool little boxes that he hooked up to all the cable lines in my house.

Funny thing is all he want's us to do all day is watch TV. More and more TV.

While I like TV, I kinda wonder if it might be better for my friend if we just switched the darn thing off and went outside to play for the next 30-90 days.


What do you think?

Do we get to vote on what you should "watch"?

Neil visited me when I was a kid. I put Quantum Leap on every TV in the house. :D Didn't help though. I enjoyed being a part of it because I didn't watch any of the top rated shows.

Have fun! :)

Which is an excellent example of the heisenberg uncertainty principle. By measuring an event you change that event.

Sigh. I wish people would stop abusing the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle which does NOT say that by measuring an event you change that event.

As long as you love Mythbusters and hate the wiggles, sure!

Sorry, but pop culture will not be denied! Besides that's what Heisenburg himself stated. Sure he was wrong, but there are you are.

Huh? Somehow I doubt the person who first described the ACTUAL Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle ever confused it with the observer effect.
