This all started with [livejournal.com profile] aurora77 suggesting that I look into watching free over-the-air TV with a regular old set of rabbit ear antennas. Apparently that STILL WORKS, even though when I worked at Comcast they kind of shoved it down my throat that once the Digital Conversion went through NOBODY would be able to ever use antennas again. They did a real good job of washing my brain...

So I started looking into it, following the idea of Rabbit Ears down a Rabbit Hole of links, data and information. Eventually I found AntennaWeb.org, which I at first assumed was just a phishing scam trying to get information and/or selling old useless antennas BUT NO! It's a site that tells you what stations you should be able to pick up and what type of antenna you'll need and where to aim your antenna and WOW! THIS IS SO COOL!!!

If I spend around $80, I should be able to get almost 20 digital channels for *free*. That's pretty darned awesome!

Yes, I heard about the explosion in Disneyland today. No official word, but authorities are seeking one Wyle E. Coyote as a "Person Of Interest" in the case...

Actually, it was just a water bottle full of dry ice that started leaking. Still, fun story :)
