To keep from bitching about your additional Advanced Digital Services I’ll keep this rant focused on your bread and butter, and that would be your Digital Video Services.

You wonder why retention on video services are diminishing? Why folks are watching more of their favorite programs on their laptops vs their 55″ flatscreen HDTVs?

Could it be because you still have some crap that’s broken?

First let’s talk about the IPG. (Interactive Programming Guide) and how it interacts with the DVR

Several programs listed in the IPG cannot be “Season Passed” to auto record and I am forced to queue up recordings on a weekly basis.  Is it a limitation to the channel that I’m choosing to record a program on or is it you? Well, considering my friends can TIVO season pass the same recording without any issue, I’m going to assume it’s you.  I’m speaking specifically to ethnic programming which is frequently a premium service at additional charge.

Next lets talk about Video On Demand

Oh, who’s driving this thing?

1. Who is editing the Video On Demand website?
Because personally I consider the front page Valentine’s Day Editorial alongside Editors Picks for Satan’s Cannibal Holocaust to be pretty fail.

2. VOD guide via the IPG has consistantly additional failure.

On Shows:  Episodes are frequently delivered and made available out of order

Please. Someone. Look at the TV Shows Directory.

And tell me why when you click all shows. It offers another sub directory that’s again All Shows.

It looks like this.

TV Shows

HD

All TV Series

A-F

On Movies Directory: Cross tabulation by genre/category is frequently lacking and needs better structure

At the time of this writing the Starz Comedy category disappeared.  The only genre subcategories currently are “Action Packed”  Cute.

And if you’re going to list a bunch of films as being in Spanish, why not make that an actual category. That might make sense.

On Movie Descriptions: Do you have folks reviewing this for appropriate tone, grammar, and accurate descriptions?

The On Demand Movie Description:

“Singer. Rebel. Outlaw. Hero. With his driving freight-train chords, steel-eyed intensity and a voice as dark as the night, the legendary “Man in Black” revolutionized music – and forged his legacy as a genu.ine American icon.

Oh.So.Pretentious.And.A.Run.On.Sentence.

Or inaccurate to the point of embarrassment.

Here’s the description for Monster’s Inc.

When a young BOY[my emphasis] accidentally enters Monstropolis – a secret city powered by energy from children’s nightmares – it’s up to a pair of friendly monsters to set things right. Oscar -winning fun fromt he director of ‘Up’

Anyone who’s actually seen the film will tell you with confidence that BOO IS NOT A BOY. Dumbass.

If you need someone to be scrupulous meticulous to project manage this, I’d be willing to come back to cable. But in the meantime. Someone. Please. Get your head out of your ass and fix the OnDemand menu. Make it a quality product that’s without reproach. At this point I find movies in sub categories that aren’t in the “All Movies” or alphabetic by title section pretty regularly.  Films listed in the HD category aren’t consistently named as such in the directory. Why aren’t you more embarassed by this?

Caught in the act!

I have the sneaking suspicion that as Amelia grows older, this will be a familiar expression. Because she wont’ be able to keep herself from mischief, and I *WILL* catch her in the act.

Ahjuma-ness. Own it.

More imitating faces

Blowing raspberries.

How I LOVE THEE.

So 2010 is off to a weird start.

Funny as this is supposed to be my year in many ways. The year of the tiger.

12 years ago I got a tattoo. A tiger.  An imprint on skin of the values and strength that being born in the year of the tiger is supposed to portend. Strength, charisma, a ferocious energy and general independence and bravery – these are Tiger characteristics.

These are the qualities I aspire to embody again this year.

The last year or so I’ve felt I was in hibernation a lot. Some of it due to the gestation and lot due to the nonstop transitions that left me off kilter.  I’m hoping to correct this soon and with great vigor.

I’ve decided to make some changes in my life this next year.

The first off is removing myself from distractions that leave me drudgy and isolated. This means weaning myself off of warcraft and being at home too much alone with the baby.  This means being out and about with her, along with re-connecting with friends near and far that I haven’t made enough effort to sync up with.

Museum and Zoo annual memberships are in queue.

Additionally walking more and being less physically sedentary.  A week and a half ago when the weather was nicer I walked in total about 10 miles. From our home to downtown Sausalito.  It felt good and it was noticeable how caged in I felt last week by comparison when the weather made it prohibitive to be out.

Additionally I’m looking into investing my energies back into projects and activities that I enjoy.  I hope to start going back to KSW events, I’m looking forward to SXSW where I will be presenting again at the annual “How to Rawk Out at SXSW” panel with copanelists Ben Huh, Jeremy Keith, and Denise Jacobs.  I’ll also be performing at this year’s 20×2, thus themed “Who Loves You, Baby”.

And new projects and tasks include teaching myself to sew and possibly starting a new business related around the sewing and creation of Podaegis (A Korean Baby wrap carrier).

All good things that will help me sharpen my claws again.  2010. Year of the Tiger.

Ready? Here I come.
