Can you help me find Moxi?

Back when I lived in Auburn and Charter Communications was my cable provider, I had a DVR that was pretty much the greatest DVR ever. The Moxi Broadband Media Center (BMC9012). The box was made by Motorola and had the greatest user interface and recording features. Now I live in Central Florida and Bright House Networks is my cable provider. I now have a Scientific Atlanta box under my TV and it has what is universally regarded as terrible software.

So here is what I think I'd like to do:

1) After talking with Bright House customer service and an independent contractor for BHN, I found out that I can get a 3rd party DVR and plug it in to BHN and tell them the serial number/address of the box, they would provision it (so they claim). So I'm looking for a Moxi Box, and monitoring ebay (which has a tone of Moxi remotes right now).

2) Charter Communications is going to the deploying Digeo's new version of the Moxi Cable Box soon, and have already started in some areas... They've got to do something with those old Moxi boxes, right? If you live in an area, and have Charter as your cable provider, and will be getting a new DVR soon, let me know what they are doing with the old ones :)

Also, I think I had a lot of caffeine today.

PACE Awards

We made a quick trip up to Pensacola last Tuesday for the 49th Annual PACE Awards. The Pensacola Chamber of Commerce selected my dad to receive this year's Professional Leader of the Year award. It was a great event acknowledging local leaders who have impacted Pensacola in their field. I've uploaded some pictures as well as a link to a press release from Saltmarsh with the pretty funny video that was played before my dad received his award.

Sesqui-Quadricentennial?

According to Wikipedia, there isn't a Latin term that corresponds to a 450th anniversary.
But that is what Pensacola is celebrating this year.

In August 1559 Spanish Conquistador Don Tristan de Luna de Arellano founded a colony in the Pensacola Bay area. In true Florida style it the original colony was wiped out by a hurricane and abandoned by 1561. But that won't stop the City of Five Flags from celebrating! Complete with a visit from the King and Queen of Spain and the Spanish Ambasador to the US.

One less Iridium flair...

(CNN) -- Two satellites, one Russian and one American, have collided some 800 kilometers (500 miles) above Siberia, Russian news agencies reported Thursday, citing a NASA spokesman.

Debris from the collision poses no threat to the International Space Station.

The debris from the Tuesday collision poses no threat to the International Space Station, RIA-Novosti reported, citing a spokesman for the Russian federal space agency, Roscosmos.

The collision of the two communications satellites is believed to be the first of its kind, NASA was quoted as saying in Russian media.

Space collisions are rare and normally involve parts of spent rockets or mini-satellites, RIA-Novosti said.

The Russian satellite was launched in 1993 and is considered inoperative, news agency Itar-Tass and the Russia Today TV station reported.

The U.S. satellite is part of the Iridium global mobile communications system and is owned by a consortium headed by Motorola, Russian media reported. It was launched in 1997.

NASA spokesman Kelly Humphries was quoted as telling journalists that the crash produced a pair of massive debris clouds.

"It will be weeks at least before the true magnitude of these clouds are known," RIA-Novosti quoted Humphries as saying, adding analysts expect the wreckage from the collision to burn up in the Earth's atmosphere
