Direct TV Difference
Prior to the holidays I had Direct TV installed with an HD DVR. The difference between Standard Definition and High Definition is incredible. I am blown away at the difference. Not to mention being able to record and store programming that we can enjoy later. HD is something we have not experienced before as a family and now that we have it, we love it.
How would you change Apple’s unibody MacBook?
http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/12/how-would-you-change-apples-unibody-macbook/
I would change the MacBook into two different product lines (one that is like a netbook) available to new customers at AT&T at a discounted rate much like brand new customers at AT&T can get an iPhone at a discounted rate. I think the model of MacBook could be a generation behind that of the most up to date model, which would help save apple some cash.
I would love to get a MacBook but cannot afford one at the moment, but making a macbook (with a constant internet connection) available from AT&T would give OS X users something to think about in the realm of computers of that spec.
Favorite Chinese Restaurant
My favorite local chinese restaurant is Dragon Palace.
Favorite Chinese Food Youngstown Ohio
Ever since I started working at the Vindicator, I have been going to Dragon Palace for Chines food. Right after I was hired my boss asked me if I liked hot food. I said sure. That week I ordered my first 6 dollar lunch, and I have had very little desire to go elsewhere for Chinese food in the Trumbull, Mahoning area. What I first tried was Kung Pau Chicken. I was hooked.

Yahoo! Fantasy Sports 2009
I am in one league this season in Fantasy Football Pro.
This football season has been less victorious then last year when I was third in the Vindication League over all. I was competing with 2 less teams back then too. I got my start on the Fantasy football craze with the Vindication League 2008.
New To 2009 I have started a few other collective efforts to better understand and thoroughly enjoy Yahoo! Fantasy Sport
Dragon's Breath, Dragon's Indigestion
s. The idea of fantasy league with dream teams I think is a kind of a mis-nomer in that many people (that have never played Fantasy sports). They think that it means you can pick any players you want even though other people are sure to pick them too. Le Bron James is a good example of a player who would be on every body's team, but that is not how fantasy leagues work, only one team can have a single player at a time.
I started one league this season.
I started Jon's Fantasy Basketball 2009 this year, which is not really a specialty of mine because my history of basketball has been plagued with an in-ability to dribble effectively and a lack of understanding of the game in many areas. Fantasy provides a way to look numerically at the entire league and pull any player you see available and bring them on board your roster (if you deem it necessary to replace an injured player/poor performing player).
Dragons Basketball
My brother in-law really liked the drafting process of Yahoo! Basketball. We actually did two simultaneous applications on the same computer when we started our league this season. Each guy has a minute and a half to pick a player before their time is up and the Flash application goes to the next team in the Que to give them a shot at a player in the league. The first three weeks of Fantasy basketball have yielded these results:
Week 1 Dragons(6) Tennessee All Stars (3)
Week 2 Dragons(4) Jdan Ballers (4)
Week 3 Dragons(7) Cheesheads (2)
I am in one group this season.
I started a Pro Football Pick em group this season too, I kind of like the idea of picking each team that I think will win in the NFL each week in competition with a group of other guys. When you compete many things are fun especially if the scoring is fair and the stats are accurate. Dragons (my team) is in this group with a record of 95-49, and 754 confidence points after week 10 in the season. I earned the following points for the past 10 weeks:
| 91 | 71 | 106 | 78 | 78 | 65 | 62 | 70 | 59 | 74 |
Catch you guys later,
Jon
