Interesting read and a new project.

I read this article the other day and it got me to thinking...

Oh.. the article... I could care less about the actual content about the article. Just the output :)

So I was thinking, could I automate that?
What I want to know is could I take a book, convert it to text, then use powershell to parse it into 140 character chunks, connect to twitter, and post a tweet?

I think I have a new project!

Death in the Family

Our oldest family dog, Remington, died last week.
This is one of my favorite pictures of him. He was between 3 and 4 in this picture, not exactly sure.

Remington

Remington came to live with us in June of 2002. He was 10 weeks old. We had been married almost 6 months.
Remmy went through almost every major milestone of our young marriage. Buying a hous, birth of a child, birth of twins, moving to Texas.
Remmy, we will miss you with all of our hearts. You were my best friend, my confidant, my sounding board, and you were the best.

Catching up on some TV shows

I do not watch a whole lot of Television.I watched a ton when I was a kid but once I turned 18 or so I never did.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching TV, I just never do. It may have something to do with my ADD.
The bride and I  watched Elementary religiously for the first couple of seasons, but it got boring and predictable.
I do watch The Blacklist, but that is more of a commitment since I do a weekly podcast on it (check it out over at http://pcublacklist.blogspot.com/

Ok, to the point...I have been watching/catching up on a number of shows via Netflix. I have noticed a trend in what I seem to enjoy.
Comic shows and unconventional cop shows. I will go into each. briefly.


Comic Shows 
  • Arrow
  • Flash
  • Agents of Shield
  • DareDevil
  • Jessica Jones
  • Luke Cage
I have no idea why I enjoy these so much, I got into Arrow because of the eye candy, but it turned out I really enjoyed it. Flash was a reasonable successor since they are related. I am trying to get caught up on Legends of Tomorrow as well, but it just is not as good and I do not like the characters as much.
AoS, DD, JJ, and LK are all in the Avengers world and all slightly related, so they are kind of fun to watch. I loved the avengers movies. I current own all of them in one form or another except CA:1stA.

Unconventional Cop shows
  • Longmire
  • Luther
These are unconventional in different ways. Longmire is just a good old fashioned detective show. Very little CSI, just lots of character and who dunnits. It still follows the formula but I like that it focuses on story other than the pseudo science.
Luther is just an unconventional cop. You cannot call him a bad cop, or a cop out for true justice, or a cop who believes the end justifies the mean... just unconventional.
