Snow Day!

   Posted by: Infinity   in Consumer Electronics (Home Theater), Current Events

I love snow days…they are like a small bonus…get paid to stay home.  Obviously not all companies have these, or support them.  However, when you get them…take ‘em. :-)

I’m using the day to get caught up on projects that I have ongoing around the house, and updating all my various websites.  I have many things on the go, and I am busier than ever.  This is a good thing though, because it keeps me out of trouble. :-)

In other news…The new digital transition date in the United States is now June 12th.  This will give the new Obama administration enough time to get things sorted out.  If stations are digitally compliant and wish to switch sooner, there is no legislation preventing them from doing so.  It quickly became clear less than a month ago that the digital switchover date of February 17th was not feasible.

*** Update ***

Congress did not pass this motion as of Wednesday.  To pass legislation a 66% majority is required, and the bill did not meet this requirement.  Therefore, as it stands now, the February 17th transition date is still in effect.
