Who Needs Cable Anyway?

Cable is expensive right, and the service provided with the programming really, in the nicest way possible, sucks.  For this reason, I’ve chopped my cable cord (to my TV at least).  After paying nearly $100 every month for almost a year I realized something.  I was only enjoying one channel.  Maybe if I had a little more disposable income I could afford a grand every year just to watch the discovery channel and occasionally the history channel, but I don’t.

Simple Steps to Better Audio

Everyone deserves better audio, and every music artist deserves your best effort to hear the sound that they created. I know personally my wife gets really upset when I only here half of what she is saying.  I can only assume that musicians and film producers alike are driven crazy by the common acceptance of listening to half of the song or music track they produce.  This is what audio compression has done for us in this digital age of high tech gadgets and portable gizmos; it has cut our experience in half.

The Time Has Come to Bag the Big One!

If you are not part of the 53% of American households that currently own a super cool flat screen TV simply because the mortgage was getting in the way I believe your wait may finally be over!  According to the Wall Street Journal's report the prices on big flat panel TVs are going to be slashed once again this year, but this time they will be nearly half of what the prices were last year.  This makes me very excited.

Prepare Yourself for a Pleasant Surprise

Yesterday I found myself relaxed on the couch.  The kids were napping, and my wife was in the kitchen fixing some wonderful treat for later (muffins or chicken tacos or something… anyway it doesn’t matter). I was there in the living room looking at the TV deciding how to spend the next couple hours.  The Titans were not playing this week and I had already watched the Blu-Ray movies that we rented last week.  I probably could have invested some time into cleaning out the garage, but it was cold in there; and I was feeling very comfortable on the couch.  That is when I did something I probably would have never done about three years ago. I watched a Chinese film from 2008, and it was awesome!

Down With Stupid Manufactures

Ok, this might be a little rant but somebody’s got to say it.  DSC Security has got to be one of the most egocentric and ignorant manufacturing companies I have ever run across.  Do they not realize that we are in a recession and they should be trying to promote the sales of their products instead of pissing people off?
