Is Netflix throttling customers so they upgrade plans? A web search will tell you that some people definitely seem to think so...

I know our streaming service wasn't slow so much until the last month or two - definitely reaching unbearable levels the last few weeks ...if there is a reasonable explanation, I'd love to hear it.

Alternatives do exist: Amazon Prime streaming is actually cheaper than Netflix if you break it down by month, plus it's more likely to work on my home Linux machines (the only place we can use Netflix is on the Wii or the Android devices)..

As a favor, please let us know if you use Amazon Prime or any other alternative. We're definitely looking for better...

Baby Changing Friendly! Target - Lancaster, CA

As parents of a 13-month-old, we've been thinking it would be cool if we had an easy way to remember where the baby changing stations are around town. The thought that others might find it useful crossed our minds as well... So here's the 1st!

Sorry to hear that Joe Simon has passed away yesterday...

The Co-Creator of Captain America, among others, he was a great creative who managed to leave a lasting impression on the industry (despite Martin Goodman's trickery on he & Kirby during the early Captain America disputes).
