T(V/elevision) Listings: Past & Present

TV Tango has a television/"TV Listings: Past & Present". It can go all the way back to 1/1/1950! Wow, flashbacks to this couch, err chair potato used to watch during the rad(ical) 80s and up.

Gulf of (Map Explorer)

MapQuest's Gulf Of lets anyone "name your own gulf" like Gulf of AQFL. Seen on a followed Mastodon post.

Super Bowl LIX/59 on 2/9/2025!

Go TV ads. Too bad Adland closed down to get their them early. :(

Here's a link (maybe more in the future too) related to this poll (closes before/when the big game ends): See 15 Stunning Photos of Superb Owls to Kick Off This Year’s Super Bowl Weekend" -- "These snapshots of the majestic bird in flight and in trees will leave your soul soaring..."

-- 2/9/2025 7:23 PM PST: Poll is now closed, and here are the results from six voters. Superb( )Owls won. Will they win again next year? ;) Your overlord is slowing watching his digital video recorder (DVR)'s recording to see the interesting parts and not the boring game parts.
