Michael Caine in ZUNE

Oh, wait, that's wrong. He did a movie on the big screen called ZULU. But now you can watch it on Microsoft's tiny new ZUNE video player... .

Wow, Apple doesn't stand still long. Just when I was looking at picking up a 30Gig shiny, black video iPod thingy, for over $300 U.S., Steve Jobs comes out in a button-down shirt (I have it on good authority that his butler, Cato, put all his regular black turtlenecks in the drier and shrunk 'em just before the announcements) and tells us about a new video iPod, bigger, better, faster.

At the same time, Microsoft announces their new Zune, an iPod fighter. Zune has wireless, so you can share tunes in the classroom or at work. Too cool. All these totally unnecessary items in our lives, enriching our futures.

2006 TV Season

In the old days of rileyfamily.ca, I would post the full fall TV schedule for everyone to enjoy. Not much I like better than the anticipation of a buncha new shows. Usually, only two or three survive and they are often not ones I like.

In the absence of updating to our website, here with some great links you will find useful, as they hold everything you want to know: shows, weekly listings, and premiere dates... and even some reviews.
