I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.

I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.

I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

What they should do is sweeten the deal with a free chromecast with 3 month sign up.

I'll give it a shot. Can't stand being under the oppression of Spectrum/TW.

We don't have cable. Haven't for… oh man 5+ years at this point. We use a combo of Netflix, Hulu, seedbox, Plex, etc. I'll be game for this IF there are no ads – or if they are at least very minimal like the Hulu pre/post ads. Otherwise I'll continue with my current setup.

It sounds like there will be ads but you'll be able to skip over them like any other dvr.
