Tuned In

Programming Note

Yes, it’s that time of year again. I’m going to be out until after the New Year. But Tuned In isn’t going anywhere! I’ve prepared a slew of year-end/decade-end lists and posts, which will be in the capable and deadly metal hands of Robo-James.

Also, some time between Christmas and New Year’s, time.com will post an end-of-the-’00s extravaganza, which will include my Top 10 TV Shows of the ’00s, so look for that. (Keeping the list to 10 is pretty limiting, so I’ll also be robo-posting an honorable-mention list here at Tuned In.) And I may pop in with the occasional post if I can’t help myself. And you can always find me on the Twitter machine.

It has come to my attention that Robo-James’, er, assertiveness has been an issue during my past vacations. You will be glad to know, then, that he has been working through his hostility issues in an art-therapy class (see sample work, above).

He still has the gun, though, so don’t piss him off. See you in January.

    “…As soon as we started programming, we found to our surprise that it wasn’t as easy to get programs right as we had thought.
    Debugging had to be discovered.
    I can remember the exact instant when I realized that a large part of my life from then on was going to be spent in finding mistakes in my own programs…”
