David is an occasional blogger, software engineer, Nintendo fanboy, liberal, news magazine addict, voracious TiVo user, and bibliophile. He was born in St. Louis, grew up in southern Indiana, and returned to St. Louis to attend Washington University. He hasn't managed to escape yet. He's a fan of free wine tastings, too many tv shows to name, and eating out. David makes his living developing web applications used internally by his employer. He doesn't blog about work because he's heard too many stories about that causing workplace troubles. There's more on the about page. |

Our long digital conversion nightmare is over
One of the truly great things about Congress pushing back the digital conversion date is the fact that some stations, because of increased costs associated with broadcasting on both the analog and digital spectrums, have decided to just go ahead and stick with the original date. The Congressional date is just a drop-dead date -- there's nothing that keeps stations from switching sooner. So now no one will really know what date their stations are switching on. It's really great of Congress to step in and save us from the national nightmare of digital conversion. It's convenient that there weren't other things that they could have been working on instead.
