My Rocking Entertainment System

So it occurs to me that I have been so excited writing all about cool ways to build your own system that I have over looked an opportunity to write about my own.  As I have said before, my system is always changing and seldom stays the same for long, but here is the revision I have been enjoying as of late.

A Creative Solution to an Uncommon Problem

I recently was asked to help provide a solution for a rather interesting situation. My mother and father were planning to take a group of people in their RV on a three day road trip from Nashville Tennessee to Pincher Creek Alberta in Canada. Needless to say, their activity and entertainment options would be rather limited for such a long journey in such a confined space. And thus the problem presented itself.

Rock and Roll!

This is the latest design from a young man named Shmuel Linski, and yes that's concrete you're seeing. He taken his passion with working with concrete and enjoyment of music and combined them into a rather interesting product. Now, I have no idea if these speakers sound good, but the concept does present a lot of opportunities for creative solutions.

A Better AV Experience for About $2K

I did a little bit of research and put together entertainment system that I proudly recommend to my sister, or anyone else not looking to dump a load on electronics.  It includes everything you would need to create a good entertainment experience with all the bells and whistles like 3D TV, Blu-Ray player, the best in surround sound and a 110watt active subwoofer. The System is as follows:

Big Experience, Little Coin

It is understandable that in this economy people are not able to drop a chunk of change on their entertainment system, but just because one is tightening their purse strings does not necessarily mean they have to sacrifice quality or enjoyment. There are a few simple tips you can follow to get a great system and save a ton of money in the process. In fact, it is how I have built my system for less than half of what it would cost if I had purchased everything outright.

A Struggle for Independence

In honor of our Independence Day celebration I thought I would share a little about the fight for independence in my own life, or at least in my own living room. No I don't feel the need to secede from a tyrannical government (at the moment any way), but I might be likely to go and chuck all my subwoofer cables as a form of protest into the nearest bay that I can find.  I am tired of having my subwoofer placement limited by the need for interconnect cables.
