    Remember when...

    Anything you want to toss out that you miss, either here or there, now or then. As you liked it, to borrow. The older I get the more of these seem to crop up. Remember when there were only three channels you could rely on and that pesky UHF on and off. When your heart would race at the sound of...

    The Omnibox: all things television

    Programming, Technology and more... When I was a teenager and an avid reader I called television the mind sucking omnibox. Years later, with a revised appreciation, I started a blog under the Omnibox title, but let it fall away. I prefer conversation. Anyway, I thought there being a lot on tv...

    Cub Reporters 2014

    Better late than never as we continue to track the field of avid and often amateur hall monitors, some compelled to safe guard the site from trolls and spambots, some to further their own agendas and some because they just don't know what buttons do what yet... But if it's reported, we'll...

    Hall of Fame Members, How You Doin'?

    Someone seemed interested so I thought I'd start a thread to relieve people of their concern over the general and particular welfare of the group. So let me get this kicked off...I'm feeling fine. Had a nice walk through my woods with Jack today and the sky was this ridiculously bright blue...

    TOL Snapshot: Inside the Numbers

    From time to time I'm going to look at various numbers, just for the heck of it and purely for entertainment purposes. Sky inadvertently gave me the idea when she conflated the number of individuals posting in Quixote with its popularity. I noted the number of views and it got me thinking about...

    American Film Icons

    I love movies. I've been a fan of film as long as I can remember. I suppose my earliest memory would be The Wizard of Oz. I saw it on a black and white television. When I saw it again a year or so later on a color television I'm told I was very upset. :D Anyway, those of you who've been around...

    Town Quixote's

    Come in. Some of you will be finding this via the breadcrumb link left in Observations. It's natural to wonder if this is going to be the same thread under a new address. I hope not. What I mean is that I have a somewhat different vision for this one. Welcome to Quixote's.

    Windows and other computer nonsense

    So a few blue screens into last week I realized my HP had given its all and would need retiring. Enter my p7-1414 and windows 8 (the previous HP being XP). First impressions: Windows 8 new look/set up. I have to admit I love it. Having the weather and news feeds and a number of other things...

    One Sentence Movie Reviews

    Brevity is golden. Title and one line that sums up why we should or shouldn't care about the movie. It can be a standard of a more recent release. Your call. To get it going. The Avengers: it had the splash of summer action hits, but lacked the gravitas of the first Iron man, making it an...

    TOL Lexicon: add your ism, ist and ite, etc.

    I thought it might be interesting for those inclined to have a place to try out or establish new coins or use within the TOL family. I'll start it off with a couple: 1. Misinformationalists: those who in the face of clear, factual contradiction or with a want of substantive or serious support...

    A Momentary Life...

    A place to make brief observations of the moments in your life that speak to you. #1 I don't know their names these birds at my window singing some thing joyful

    Moron of the Day

    While I rarely engage in name calling on an artless level, the volume of posts of late so dense that not even thought can appear to escape them demands some form of recognition and, after a fashion, feint, sardonic praise. So here it is...today has already produced two strong end of the year...

    Going to the Movies: past, present, future.

    I love the movies. Film noir to musicals and everything in between. I've started favorite/best film threads in the past, but thought I'd run one that would let us discuss our favorites, fill people in on the best to be had in the moment and get excited about upcoming events. Harrison Ford and...

    TOL: Quincy's Interview Archive

    As some of you know, Q has started a series of voluntary interviews. My hope is that this reflection, a closed thread where only the actual interviews will be published, will act as a helpful reference and insight for both the new kids and established players and become a thread of record for...

    TOL Pet Memoriam

    I had the thought earlier this morning while going through a few pictures of Cammy, who some of you already know passed away yesterday. That set me thinking of Lucy, who died February of 08 and of Sarah, who disappeared some time ago and is likely gone as well. It seemed to me that it wouldn't...

    So that's one in the column for a "limited" Knight. :think: Fairly convincing argument though. :Plain: :D
