Hello again, John Here, just waiting for you to participate in the DirecTV project. (If you already have, THANKS!) If you have or have not signed-up, here is chess puzzle of sorts for you. Perhaps focusing your mental powers on a game of chess will make the DirecTV project more appealing to you? You could just like to play chess, once in a while?
Here is a Computer for you to test out your Chess knowledge. Just try one game and email johnh@dctlan.com

I just got off the phone with DirecTV’s Nolan. He assures me our DirecTV project is a go!
With the end of January, a lot of birthdays happen, all at once, almost. On January 26th, Dutchess has a birthday. On the 28th, Cousin Billy. (I was at dinner with Don and Nancy when we left Los Gringos Loco, this LAST 28th, Nancy called Cousin Bill and I really do have a hankering for a trip to Laughlin, NV)
Afterwards, Valerie and I visited with Don and Nancy and I was struck with her memory preceding mine. Nancy really ‘loved’ Bernice’s house and remembered visiting there for Christmas when I was very young. She said, “I want to visit that house and walk around on my knees!” I know exactly what she means. that would have been totterer hight back that number of years. I remember seeing scared faces from that buffet, like my sister Gloria’s face, finding me up on that buffet, while baby sitting, or, Duchesses’ begging me to come down from the uncomfortable top of that buffet, before another baby sitter found us!
It was such a Grand house!
Dutchess, Bix and Nancy where there before we can possibly remember! I do wish you would make time to come out west and visit your relatives.
And then on the 29th, Allen Wheland has HIS birthday. January is such a very good month for birthdays.
There was only a handful of days in my life that I actually did a soap box derby. I was involved long before fathers took the event over. My Dad was busy printing the St. Paul Dispatch – Pioneer Press the day I built a soap box racer. I had plenty of competition though with 5 other young men trashing their sister’s baby carriage(s) (for wheels) and borrowing my Dad’s hammer, nails and saw to put my entry and the 5 contenders’, together.
We had an acceptable hill on Goodrich at Dunlap with almost zero traffic, after Summit school let out.
I never made it to Eagle Scout. I had a good run at it and did have a bunch of merit badges at the Life scout level. My Grandson Gregory recently made Eagle Scout. (The one I have to hand it to, he is the one with the Afro Doo! BTW all 6 of my grandsons are in this photo! (some kind of record!) And, he is the older brother to this Pinebox Derby
winning trio.
I am not old enough to be a grand father, but I am!
Mark Twain was my Dad’s favorite historical figure. I bet he knew all these quotes and then some. Bouncing around the internet I landed on this site and saw where the author kind of invited me to link these pages over here to dctlan.com. To visit there and see what I’ve seen, click the link below. ENJOY!
With 8.6 million hits awarded to the fledgling DCTLAN.com website, for a single post (on Amazon.com). DCT announces the appointment of Pete Strohecker, of Tabernash, Colorado, to the office of Editor, once held by John Holmgren aka “John – of – the -Rockies”. No wages were released at the time of this writing.
John has been moved to an office marked as CFO and was seen cleaning out his editor’s desk with a cardboard box while darting between two security guards munching jelly filled doughnuts.
“The move was bound to happen,” John remarked, after the news of the DirecTV Coupon situation ‘broke’ here in the DCT NewsRoom. “I should have seen this coming…” John said with a sly smile on his face. “Seems the present DirecTV program has an end date only 10 days from the start of DCTLAN’s DirercvTV Project”.
The new editor, Pete Strohecker, was not available for comment.
More on this later, after eleven, or later still, at seven. jdh
I am very relieved that yesterday these government programs were put into a circular file. At least for a while. Hollywood should never champion our (or mine either), First Amendment Rights. They are just not educated in the Internet’s driving controlling feature. The RFC!
Next to Mark Levin’s new book, RFC is a must read and must participate in.
The internet technology has increased the meaning of what our founding father’s called, ‘the pursuit of happiness‘. We depend daily on a dynamic combination of life, liberty, software, easily held devices, working in concert with the internet. We sometimes use these ‘something(s)‘, to get ‘news’, to read ‘books’, to ‘shop’, to save ‘time’ and to produce or enhance ‘income’. Presently, internet technology enforces a basic craigslist of products and services, like;
“Once internet ‘something(s)’ are created, access to them ‘can be’ shared, easily”. – John Holmgren
Certain lawyers have a problem with ‘can be’ as well as, what the meaning of ‘is’, is!
Many of the internet’s true believers, like myself, believe the internet to be a God given ‘right’. Perhaps with a partiality to the ‘First Amendment’ section near the end of a certain document. Certainly I, and I imagine others, genuinely wish to fight to keep the internet free from SOPA and the community organization efforts it promotes.
Wasn’t it an RFQ that effected the creation of the protocol we call IP, initally?
Why not use the RFQ (Request for Comments) protocol of the internet to settle SOPA issues and not the courts in Hollywood and Washington?
Isn’t the RFC a more viable solution than a Congress that is unable to pay it’s own bills?
Who said, “Render unto Caesar, that which is Caesar’s”?
And now, a short video here at my close….
