Thought I’d post a couple from a recent party we went to that had me reliving two non-overlapping eras of my life, college and the ’80s. College because we got to play beer pong, and the ’80s because the party was themed after the movie “Wet Hot American Summer.” Hence the cut off jean shorts. Good times.

In other news, I was recently interviewed by the L.A. Times! Not for anything relevant to my career unfortunately, but because I sent them a note wondering if anyone else was having issues getting DTV reception over the airwaves. Sunday I tried to turn on the NBA Finals to see the hometown Lakers finish the job against the Magic and found nothing but a blank screen where ABC used to be. Same went for CBS and FOX. Turns out there’s a national problem with these networks, who after the official switch to digital moved their signals over from UHF to VHF, which apparently kicks out a weaker signal that isn’t getting to much of the viewership. They’re apparently trying to fix the problem by getting the FCC to allow them to use a stronger signal, but so far no dice. I rescanned the channels as requested and can now get CBS, but ABC is still too weak and FOX is a no show. Our solution for the game was to head to the neighborhood bar, but the amount of money we ended up spending there could justify getting cable. Hopefully this will be remedied soon. I can live without TV, but the general population should still have access to the basic networks. Here’s a link to the article: http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-dtv17-2009jun17,0,3973337.story
