Big Basin Redwoods State Park is California's oldest State Park, established in 1902. Home to the largest continuous stand of ancient coast redwoods south of San Francisco, the park consists of over 18,000 acres of old growth and recovering redwood forest, with mixed conifer, oaks, chaparral, and riparian habitats. Elevations in the park vary from sea level to over 2,000 feet. The climate ranges from foggy and damp near the ocean to sunny, warm ridge tops.

Cable prices keep rising; customers keep paying

The resiliency of cable in the Internet age is all the more remarkable considering that prices have risen 77 percent since 1996.
(From The New York Times)

Cable prices have risen 77 percent since 1996, roughly double the rate of inflation, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this month.

Cable customers, who typically pay at least $60 a month, watch only a fraction of what they pay for--on average, a mere 13 percent of the 118 channels available to them. And the number of subscribers keeps growing.

The resiliency of cable is all the more remarkable because the Internet was supposed to change all things digital. Technology has led to more choices and lower prices for news and music as well as cell phone and landline minutes--not to mention computers, cameras, music players, and phones themselves.

And ATT raise their prices of U-Verse as well.

For anyone signing up for U-Verse now. You will be paying $20 dollars more a mouth since they have discontinued their $10 bundle discount and the free 2 stbs early adopter offer.

So What next price hikes for U-Verse, No more free DVR and Free Installation. And Will ATT tack on addition fees for WHDVR, Muli HD Streams, Media Room And those stb Apps like flickr, yahoo games, peg channels.

CBS buying CNet for $1.8 billion

CBS announced plans today to buy CNET for $1.8 billion in a deal that would combine an old-school television network with one of the Internet's pioneers.

The deal would instantly give CBS a top 10 presence on the Internet. At the same time, it likely will help CNET appease shareholders who have pressed for changes amid frustrations about the company's stock performance and business execution.

"There are very few opportunities to acquire a company like CNET Networks," said CBS CEO Leslie Moonves in a statement. "CNET will add a tremendous platform to extend our complementary entertainment, news, sports, music and information content to a whole new global audience."

"We're thrilled to join CBS and combine our interactive media experience with CBS's world-class content," CNET CEO Neil Ashe added in the statement.

Under the deal, which CNET's board has approved, CBS will pay $11.50 a share for the San Francisco-based online media company. That represents a 45 percent premium to CNET's closing price on Wednesday of $7.95 a share.

At the Sumo Car Wash

Sexy sumo carwash commercial featuring music by Electric Six. Japanese SUVs just got a little sexier.

Because, how many job descriptions includes trying ‘everything-stew’ a 10 000 calorie-a-day sumo food festival of and telling a 500 pound soaped-up, diaper-wearing man to press his naked chest up against the window of the car. Hey, it’s just another day on the job, Miss Moneypenny…

And it’s hard to see how a motley crew of Sumo’s hand-washing a car wouldn’t be funny. Still, something tells me we did good in using Reservoir Dogs and the Zoolander gas-fight as inspiration, opposed to the Paris Hilton burger-wash.
