Here's my Wii adventure: I got up at 4:00am, looked out the window and saw snow coming down...heavy. After driving slow to Toys R Us, I pull in the parking lot to see cars, lots of cars. There was a line of about 35 or so people. The ones in front were in sleeping bags, in the driving...
My neighbor has a DVD based camcorder (Sony I think) and has had nothing but trouble getting the files off the DVD and onto his computer for editing. Apparantly the file format only works with the proprietary software supplied by Sony (surprise, surprise). Don't know about HDD based cameras...
Paul, Love the camera so far. Outdoor scenes (kids soccer games for starters) are amazing. Indoor scenes which generally can be low-light problems also look very good. There is a built in light on the camera but doesn't throw off all that much light. It takes very nice 3MP stills too...
I recently replaced my 13 year old Sony 8mm camcorder with a Canon HV-20 High def camcorder. Got ot on a Labor Day Weekend sale at Circuit City. The camera records to miniDV tape. After recording, I transfer via firewire to my HTPC, which is connected to my main TV (Samsung DLP) and also to...
I'm enjoying this release more and more with each listen. I watched the DVD "making of" earlier this week, pretty cool insight on how the writing/recording process goes down. Overall a solid disc, good to see these guys keeping up the intensity album after album.
Really looking forward to "Snakes and Arrows". I did listen to the 15 second snippet of Far Cry but I want to wait for the full CD to listen to it as a whole. Good year for music purchases: Rush, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree and Symphony X all releasing new titles this year!
I had my son's ball drilled at Circle Lanes in Ledgewood about 10 days ago. Took 15 minutes. The guy was very nice and drilled the holes one at a time, remeasuring before drilling the second and third holes.
I've used TurboTax for years and think it's very simple even for out of the ordinary things like Stock Options and Stock Purchase Plans. Also it will check to see if you can download your W-2 information so you don't need to input it. The nice thing about using their State software is that it...
I use ZoomPlayer Pro w/ PureVideo decoder and ffDshow for resizing. If you're a tweak-aholic, ZoomPlayer has tons of settings, controls, adjustments, etc. If you just want to put the movie in and hit Play, use PowerDVD or Media Player Classic
When we had our furnace replaced about 4 years ago a furnace humidifier was added and it does make a difference. We have forced hot air and the house used to be noticibly drier in the winters. The HVAC guy installed a Skuttle humidifier which we turn on once we start using the heat. I think i've...
I always thought to go VGA to component you needed a "transcoder" which is a small converter box that cost about $150. I've never seen a VGA to component cable.
I forget now but didn't his boss ridicule him for the excursion trip he was about to take (the "walkabout") or was it just for the game he was playing with his co-workers? I remember Locke responding back with "what I do on my own time is my own business". If it was regarding the trip then it...
My 97 Camry LE (6 cyl) will hit 130,000 miles this week.
No major mechanical problems, still runs fine.
I had the timing belt changed at about 90K when it was in for a tune-up.
Hoping to get about 2 more years out of it.
Remember in season 1 Jack would sometimes quote his father - "And that's why the Red Sox will never win the World Series." It seemed to have such a strong impact on Jack, and now it actually comes true.
If you go to the Samsung website click on Support and download the manual for that tv you'll see that on page 100 of the manual titled "Using Your TV as a Computer (PC) Display" it states "You cannot connect this TV to a PC via HDMI/DVI" I have a Samsung DLP (purchased in 2004) and I have a...
VH1 Classic channel had a one hour special on this show. I wasn't sure if I was going to buy "Score" since Octavarium is not one of my favorite DT albums but after seeing the VH1 Classic show I'm sold. I'll pick it up this weekend.
Can't wait to get this one but Yikes! $25 for US ($31 w/shipping). Amazon sort of has it http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd I'll wait a few weeks to see what Amazon and others are charging.
I definately agree with the Rush and Dream Theater picks. Steve Vai live at the Astoria is also great with Virgil Donati, Billy Sheehan and Tony MacAlpine. A few more: Kansas: Device, Voice, Drum Stevie Ray Vaughan: Live at the El Mocambo Michael Schenker Group: World Wide Live History of...
