DahlCast

Monday's DahlCast was a little delayed because of a cable mishap in my neighborhood. It actually got me out of my basement for a little while, so I guess I'm thankful for that. ESPO 1 is checking into a backup system for future outages, since the Starbucks by me doesn't seem to have a suitable Wi-Fi setup. They rely on the free wireless provided by my village.  I know this only because I sent Stephanie there to send my article for Tuesday's Tribune to my editor, and she was unable to get a connection. They told her to hold he computer as close to the window as she could and maybe she might get a signal. She couldn't. I thought that Starbucks was required by Starbucks law to have their own independent free AT&T wireless (for AT$T users) and also T-mobile at all of their locations. What kind of free wireless is that? Hold it as close to the window as you can? My piece for the Tribune is about Richard Heene. We could have used a mad scientist like dick Heene today to help us get connected to the world via his aluminum foil spaceship.

We didn't get a chance to talk to Brendan today, because of our technical difficulties, but he has a Balloon boy stunt of his own that he wants to pull for us. We'll do that on Tuesday's show. I'm also planning on delving a little bit deeper into the world of Richard Henne. The wierd stuff just keeps on coming. I don't want to say much more than that because I don't want to tip either my Tribune or my DahlCast hand. There's just plenty more where that came from, is all I'm saying. My friend and colleague, Richard Roeper (Double R) summed up the Dick Henne experience with one word in an impressive  Tweet of his posted on Sunday http://twitter.com/richardroeper/status/4970863398 That works for me too, but I have more space to fill so I'll come up with a few more adjectives, or was that a noun, or both? We did get to talk to Tom Thayer about the stunning Cutler on Sunday night and Tom even threw in some classic Dick Stanfel to take our minds off of that devastating Bears loss.
