This isn't right

It doesn't seem quite right to me, that I live 5 minutes from the largest city in New Hampshire and this is my selection of TV stations.
OTA TV Stations for Southern NH
Essentially, ABC and PBS. A population of around 100,000 people in Manchester alone, maybe 250,000 in a 50 mile radius and this is the best we can do. I'm really about 45 miles north of Boston and I can get only one of the major networks. Shouldn't all major metropolitan areas receive the basic broadcast channels of ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS and Fox? How is this possible? I'm sure this is NOT what we had in mind when the digital changeover was legislated. We can do better. And no, I don't consider cable and satellite companies as better; I should not have to shell out $1,000/year for internet and broadcast television stations.

The size and shape of the device, the soft, contoured back, and the touch screen are all exceptional bragging points for the new Nook and I really like the improvements over their first generation device. I wish Kindle took as large a leap for...

The Smart Alec Backpack is cooler than you. Even cooler than: TOM BIHN

Photo curtesey of Tom Bihn and user maverick Ordered a new backpack . I'm kinda geeky excited. I've owned one of Tom Bihn 's messenger bags before, and I can attest to the quality of the workmanship and attention to detail. I went with the Smart Alec over a Timbuk2 H.A.L. 2011 for both the simplicity of design and more importantly, molecularity of the inside; I can attach dedicated laptop protection or remove it for maximum empty volume for hiking or other activities. Now I have to wait for it to arrive!
