HBO did you dump out?

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ…

I will start by saying that John From Cincinnati is (was) arguably one of the most creative shows to ever make it onto television. Obviously, this is only my belief as HBO has taken it away from the viewers. I am sure that they have done their homework and found out that there is no market for such a witty, creative, quirky, and intriguing hour of entertainment.

My findings today may beg to differ. As soon as I heard that the show was canceled I felt an immediate urge to ban together and fight this decision. So, I created a “Save John” Yahoo Group and posted a link onto DIGG thinking hey I might get one or two other people who feel the same way. At the time of this post it looks like it might make “100″ DIGGS today and I have “48″ new friends who feel the same way that I do. The JFC forums on HBO’s site are absolutely flooded with viewers begging for its return and a few people have posted video’s on YouTube.

I have found that there are loyal follows for quite a few other shows that they have recently shit canned. You would hope that there is someone over at HBO and would monitor these things and see that there is a big market for shows like this and continue to produce them but just offer them thru another time slot or distribution channel. I don’t get it HBO promotes them selves as producing original series, but just when they create the most original series ever, they can it. All of the chatter on the web just leads me to believe that the ratings systems that the HBO execs are using don’t take into consideration what people are really asking for.

Lets organize and convince HBO that they made a mistake and Save John From Cincinnati. Digg this to get the word out

Be sure to join the group so that we can continue to spread the message to HBO that they shouldn’t take the Yost Family away from us, and post your comments so they can see how you feel.

“I don’t know Butchie, instead. “

Internet ID and who is who on the WWW

Just to set the record straight, I haven’t stolen any body’s identity!!! I have been referred to as Flexdaddy for many years. Years before my daughter (now 6) was born, I was given the nickname “Flex” from a good friend (by way of word association not because I like working out or anything) and it stuck. Then after my daughter was born the name morphed into “flex” + “daddy” = “flexdaddy”. Shortly after that I adopted it online as my official handle, and have used it ever since. The fact is that I actually had the flexdaddy.com domain name before Andrew had it. I let my domain name lapse and he grabbed it up before I was able to renew. (shit happens…) Looks like he acquired the name a year or so later, somewhere around the time that Macromedia (now Adobe) Flex was announced. I can understand that, it’s a cool name and if your into Flex coding it works well. Look at Archive.org or do a whois search your self and see. I recently added him as a friend in twitter to break the ice and get to know him. Now he is accusing me of taking his identity. I have know about him for at least a year, how could he never have known about me? Looks like we are both web professionals and it is crazy that we have encountered each other sooner.

The question is, can two people share the same id on the net these days? How many Neo’s do you think are out there on the WWW? Seams like every forum I have been to has a ‘Neo’. For now it sounds like Andrew and I are going to have to learn to share if we are going to both exist in the same space. Do you have a similar story? Share your story in the comments, I would love to hear about it. Andrew what are your thoughts?

Spock Search

After seeing Spock present at the Web2.0 Conference I have been anxiously awaiting my invitation to their service. Well I got it today, and was really let down to find out that their site was immediately flooded. I know it is beta, but come on guys, you knew that the site was going to get pounded, plan for it better. Another thing that I immediately disliked is the request to login to my email provider to download my contacts (you want my username and password?). I first saw this used on Yelp, and curiosity made me try it out, but afterward I was so paranoid that I went back and changed my email account password. Fortunately this is an optional request, though I didn’t even see the “Skip this step” link until someone pointed it out to me.

Well I hope Spock gets more servers up soon so I can enjoy this new service. It looked pretty bad ass at the conference.
