Graduation at East High
I took my daughter to see “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” this afternoon. I guess everyone who wanted to see this saw it opening weekend, because this was only the third weekend of its release and the theater was pretty empty … and all the kids were girls under 10, as I expected. “Senior …
TiVo will change your life
Or it just might try to kill you. Just in time for Halloween. 😉
I think someone ….
… at the theater is a Monty Python fan. I went out to see “The Dark Knight” and snapped this photo: I can just picture the French taunter taking on Batman … “I fart in your general direction you silly Dark Knighit!” 🙂 Gotta go … I’m posting this from inside the theater on my …

It’s not as cartoonish or cutesy as Pixar’s previous fare but will still reach out to all …

After researching the cost for a new battery, I decided to just sell the whole thing on eBay and get a brand new player. At Best Buy, I found the Philips DCP850/37 portable DVD …
Samsung DVD recorder
With the new HD TiVo in place, it was also time to consolidate the rest of the home theater in the media closet. This meant it was finally time to retire the 4-head Goldstar VCR my wife had bought back in 1995! But I wasn’t quite ready to drop VHS altogether (we still have a …
Panasonic DVD-CP67S
My home theater setup was graced with both a DVD Changer and a TiVo unit this past Christmas. The changer is the Panasonic DVD-CP67S, a sleek, silver, 5-disc progressive scan unit with all the trimmings. In addition to DVDs, it will play audio CDs, VCDs, MP3 CDs, and Windows Media discs. Using the component video …
