Enjoy your award!
Adam Carolla Show and Tom Leykis Show are cancelled. Head to 971freefm.com for the final Live Webcast.
UPDATE:
Tom Leykis starts Thursday show with “Leykis 101” and he is planning to talk about the future of the show at 5PM Pacific Time. Leykis has a “no-cut contract” until 2011.
Starting Friday February 20th, 2009 at 05:00PM, KLSX as we know it will cease to exist. CBS Radio, the parent company of KLSX is set to throw away the FM Talk Radio format and replace it with Top 40 Radio.
Editorial:
Way to stand out from any other radio stations, CBS. Tag, end sarcasm.
This change of format left number of hosts losing their jobs, notably Adam Carolla and Tom Leykis. Along with Carolla and Leykis, the casualty list extends to Frosty Stilwell, Heidi Hamilton, Frank Kramer (all three from “Frosty, Heidi & Frank” show), Tim Conway Jr., and to some extent Danny Bonaduce.
CBS Radio feels the urge to “amp-up” their bottom line by switching to AMP-Radio format, all Top 40 all the time.
Editorial:
Let’s see how the FM Radio Market look like in Southern California. They are either playing the same “Top 40” junks or speaking something other than English. Congratulations CBS Radio, you’ve just blended in perfectly with everybody else. By the way, I can still listen to podcasts and there are great Internet Radio Station such as Pandora and Last FM. I’d like to mention that I have an extensive collection of music on my shelf, I’ll just listen to them instead of your “top” 40 radio.
Adam Carolla has announced that he’d be going the Leo Laporte way and producing his own podcast at www.adamcarolla.com.
Tom Leykis is expected to make announcement on his plan after being booted of CBS Radio. The Tom Leykis Show is popular with 24-to-54-year-old-men demographic.
Stay tuned.
Thanks to the introductions of the Unibody MacBook, Apple now can proudly add the following disclaimer:
Note: Not all Macintosh Computers include a FireWire port. Check your system configuration to confirm your Mac includes FireWire support before attempting to connect a DV or HDV camcorder.
It is not exactly new news, but I haven’t ever read something like that since the introductions of FireWire.
I stopped by Hollywood Improv earlier tonight, and there was a huge line for 10:00 PM show. Aparrently Dane Cook headlines tonight. I believe that they are filming the show.
The last time I saw Dane Cook at the same venue he put everyone to sleep. Yeah, most people started getting sleepy around midnight on Wednesday.
“Good news, everyone. Now you can spend your money on Amazon even faster with the new Amazon Mobile app on the iPhone.”
This 1.0 release is still missing tons of Amazon.com feature, notably the MP3 download.
“This mobile application does not currently support digital downloads. Add this item to your Wish List and you can view and purchase it from your computer.”
Now, if only Apple would PLAY FAIR, then they should let Amazon Mobile download MP3 straight to the iPhone.
Here we are at the last month of 2008. It has been an interesting year for the tech industry. Google has finally released its first operating system; for mobile phone. Apple is going full speed ahead with the iPhone 3G, and the rest of industry trying to match it up. Microsoft is finally responding to Apple’s “Get A Mac” ads, by admitting that all that Apple has been poking fun at are true. Yahoo! is looking down a barrel of a gun playing Russian Roullette, “Buy me still, buy me not.”
Let’s see what else went on in 2008 so far. Obama successfully utilized the Technology (read: Internet) in the Presidential Campaign. The Stock Market took a nose-dive. Metallica released “Death Magnetic” in September. Axl’s Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy” is actually released. Wall-E is AWESOME! BlackBerry Storm is unlike any other BlackBerries, it is more iPhone-like with a twist. AVCHD camcorders are gaining ground. Apple ditched FireWire on its new Unibody Aluminum MacBook. Futurama goes High-Def with “Bender’s Game” Blu-Ray.
OK, I’ll add whatever above later.
The point is that that December is usually a slow month for Technology. So I’m focusing on some other things such as the Holiday and Comedy.
The three comedians I’m working with will be having some big shows in December.
Jill-Michele Meleán is having her JillyOnline.com show at the Hollywood Improv on December 9th, 2008.
Darren Carter will be performing in Sacaramento, California and Milwaukee, Wisconsin this December. Check his Web-Site or Blog for dates.
Carlos Alazraqui will be storming Cobbs Comedy Club December 12th and 13th. The week before Christmas, Carlos will be doing huge shows at Hollywood Improv. Mark your Calendar, December 19th and 20th, 2008.
Is it really time to bail on Yahoo! right now. I can’t even log-on to the Web-Hosting control panel.
The static pages are working, but any thing related to mysql and php is not working. The outtage does not effect all hosted sites.
ARRRGH!
