Goodbye Circuit City

As expected, Circuit City announced that they are closing the rest of their 567 US stores. This is a shocking conclusion to a 60 year old consumer electronics retail company hit hard by the bad economic climate. You can read a very interesting summary of this at their website. Liquidation sales have started. Read the bullet about the company headquarters employees; it's a shocker. I have to say that I'm going to miss Circuit City. I didn't always agree with them and I preferred Best Buy, but I still shopped at Circuit City occasionally.

Monsters HD: 2003 - 2009 RIP

Well, you won't have to listen to me carry on about how great Monsters HD is any more. Cablevision announced that they are discontinuing the VOOM HD network in the US, of which Monsters HD is a part. Check out the article here. This is a sad end to the best all horror cable channel.
