Big TV

Somewhat strangely, my Mom is responsible for my latest tech lust. Her old TV was getting iffy and now I’m totally jealous of her new 32″ HD LCD. Tonight I started my reading in earnest, and found a few cools sites and articles. Antennaweb.org tells you what digital signals you might receive in your area. I found antennaweb in (stop rubbing cows!) this cnet article which gave an excellent albeit remedial overview of hdtv. Another cnet page has a size calculator which I liked.

Happy New Year

We’ll see how this year goes. I took a few nice pictures at the Guad Christmas party, and I hope to take many more this year. And even show them to people!

Merry Christmas

I’ve been a little busy lately planning my recent escape from email servers. I’ve barely had a moment to think about Christmas. Now tonight, after spending a few days recovering from food poisoning, working almost 6 hours on a Sunday, Carol and I are watching the Grinch and shopping online. Christmas shopping is so heartwarming when an actor in a green suit reminds you that “Christmas doesn’t come from a store.” Merry Christmas!

I’m free!

I’m free. I’m no longer an Exchange email server administrator.

IT crowd and more Christmas ideas

IT Crowd will be made into a US series ala the The Office, according to wikipedia. I still want a DVD of the orginal series, but that’s not available yet.

Another UK made item is the USB Missile Launcher. The good news, though, is that is now available from a domestic US source. I love Think Geek. No wish list required. If I happen to get 2, 3, or heck even 5 of these from different people, that’s AOK. There is software to run all of them in sync. (I think.. but still, I have special projects planned if I get more than one. Robots, home defense, lots of ideas)

Christmas list

Oh! And I almost forgot. Here’s my amazon wishlist for this year. I will add things as I can. The next two weeks are going to be crazy at work, so I would absolutely love it if people could send me their wishlists. (or leave them in comments) thanks!
