    Sony 36XBR400 Geometry Adjustments

    I've had my 36XBR400 for quite a while now, and only this past weekend did I notice that the geometry at the very bottom of the screen is a bit off. While watching Fox news I notice the scroller at the bottom of the screen was unreadable. In the middle the the screen the scoller was fully...

    Cable Management & Interference

    I've finished re-wiring my rack of equipment in an attempt to tame the wire jungle and I've ran into a bit of interference that I never encountered before (with a semi-neatly wired system... i.e., "controlled" spaghetti). Here's the basic setup: A rack with every component on it, approx. 2.5...

    Sopranos Season 4 Review and Discussion Thread Shows 1-12

    Just a quick observation... The scene at the end with Chris in a bathroom with some other guy "worshipping at the porcelain altar", looked to me like he was in some sort of rehab center or something. Perhaps his talk with T earlier has made him want to get straight...

    Official Online DVD Rental Stores Thread

    Hey, my one title says it shipped today (7/30), expected delivery on 8/2. Seeing how I added this "In Stock" item to my rental list on Sat. (7/27), I may get to actually rent two DVDs before the month is up... ;) Actually, if none of my other titles even show up as in stock or shipped within...

    Acoustic Guitar Music

    Other than many good ones mentioned before, here are some I would recommend: Steve Stevens - Flamenco-a-go-go (flamenco style guitar playing combined with some electronic/modern sounds) Billy McLaughlin - Fingerdance -or Out of Hand (similar in style to Michael Hedges, some pretty wild...
