It started a couple of years ago on some of the cable channels but now it’s spreading. TV shows getting split into two mini-seasons per year with months between. I see some network shows aren’t returning in 2010 until March or even April – that’s a four month hiatus between the halves of the season. Some cable shows have even longer breaks.

Religion ‘an oddity to ministers’
Religion ‘an oddity to ministers’: “The Archbishop of Canterbury accuses ministers of treating religious faith as an ‘eccentricity’ practised by ‘oddities’.”
That’s surprisingly savvy of them!

Unboxing Utility Bar
Despite Amazon Prime next day delivery it was too dark to use my new Utility Bar when it arrived. Tomorrow perhaps.

Just testing the Atom API from SOHO Notes.
It begins!
Here’s my new blog. I’ve just set it up and I’ll probably be fiddling around with it for a bit before I’m happy with it. Setting themes and whatnot. I may even have to delete it all and start over…
