Law and Order causes disorder

After a trip to Fairway, I stopped to watch Law and Order film at the 72nd Street subway station. More accurately, I stopped to watch NYers openly defy the pleas of L&O staffers to not walk to the subway entrance during filming. I guess that's what you get for filming during rush hour.

Would you like some advertising with that gas?

In addition to (relatively) reasonable prices, Ames Street Sunoco in Dedham now brings you PumpTop TV. So much advertising, so little time.

Something sounds funny

On tonight's Chronicle, during a segment on Dorchester's Peabody Square, the following (amusing) line caught my ear:

"...including a growing gay and lesbian community, a population that many say adds a creative element to the area..."

So, just because you're gay (or a lesbian), you're automatically creative?

Fried DVR, with a side of ire

My DVR has died. Again. This will make it the fifth Comcast DVR that I've had replaced in the past year or so.

And it's not just me. Last time this occurred (November?), the Comcast rep told me that a lot of people have had this problem and that the company was searching for a new manufacturer (if that last part's true, I'll eat my hat).

What's the average life span of a Comcast DVR?
