Anyone have any suggestions on where to start? I am using my front projector in my living room, so I can't have permanant light blocking, and the windows are too high to have manual shades.

Perhaps because it doesn't border Minnesota? I know that Wisconsin is not that memorable, but it is still on the map...

Does anyone else think that Rob and Amber should have been disqualified for agreeing to share the money? The first rule of Survivor is that the contestants cannot make a deal with another player to share the money. During their last day on the island, they were both saying saying things like...

Wow... I'm not sure that even Shakespeare or Hemingway could be that good of a writer... :D

A somewhat related question - has anyone seen the Optoma H76? I am looking for a 16x9 DLP. I saw the Samsung H700A at CES and was impressed, and I liked the BenQ 8700 also. The problem is, I have a 28.5 foot throw distance, which means that neither of these will work, so I am considering the...

Lew, I think you are absolutely right. If Rob throws a challenge, he is gone. Rupert already doesn't really like Rob, and he and Big Tom would have no problem convincing Alicia to join them. If Amber's new tribe loses, she is gone. I think that it is all over for Rob and Amber - unless...

Has anyone tried those 2.4GHz wireless video distribution systems (rather than running cables)? I assume that the quality of the signal will degrade, but how much?

Well, of those 23 seasons, only 2 of them were in the NHL (and one of those seasons consisted of a 2-game call-up late in the season). Not exactly a hall of fame career. And, I think that he is African-Canadian ;)

But, would the new Frasier still hang out at a place like Cheers? The character evolved over the years and became much more of a snob. Seeing him pull up a barstool and order a beer just wouldn't work.

1. Enjoy it. 2. If you are on a tight budget, I would recommend spending less on the hotel and more on dinners. There are so many great restaurants in NYC, but they are expensive. Count on $50-100 per person for drinks and dinner at a nice place (but it is worth it). You can find a hotel for...

There was no announcement of the cast for the All-Star Survivor. When Jeff was questioning Jon about the dead grandmother lie, he asked if he regretted it, and Jon said something to the effect of "no, and maybe in the all-stars, my grandpa will die." So, we know that Jon is in the All-Star, but...

Don't forget "September in the Rain" Excellent instrumental version on the album "Approaching Standards" by Roy Hargrove and an excellent vocal version on Joe Williams "Swinging Night at Birdland"

Rather than wait in the line in Times Square for the half-price tickets (which can be an hour or two wait), go to the booth at the South Street Seaport. Same deal - half price tickets on day of show, but much shorter lines.

Kevin, I see that you are in Vancouver. I don't know what the Canadian laws are, but the scramblers are illegal in the US. And, if someone was driving by the movie theater and their call was cut off by the scrambler (there is no way they can contain the jamming to just inside the theater at...

Actually, those scramblers that you referred to are illegal. The wireless companies have paid for the right to use those airwaves, and jamming their signals is not allowed. Besides, what if a true emergency call was blocked by the scrambler?

I'll second Getz/Gilberto, or other bossa nova from Getz. If you like Brubeck, try Jazz at Oberlin, which was recorded live at the college. In fact, later this fall, Brubeck will be back to play in the same auditorium for a 50th anniversary of the original recording. West...

I have looked at rates in Europe, and they are not nearly as good as in the US. For example, Vodafone in UK charges 50 pounds (about US$83) for 400 "anytime" minutes. In the US, you can get 400 anytime minutes for $40, and get all the nights and weekends you can use for free. Wireless service...

A couple of comments from catching up on a couple of days of posts above: 1. Someone said that Deena was a good player, but was betrayed by Rob. I agree, but what choice did Rob have? It was like he said in the reunion show - the key to the game is knowing where everyone stands and where they...

I would recommend the W also, or maybe the Hotel Monaco. I also stayed at another one called Vintage something or something Vintage (it had a wine theme, but I can't remember the exact name). All three are downtown (on the same block if I remember correctly) and are reasonably nice.

If you haven't alredy done so, check out www.norahjones.com Click on Music, and there are several on-line songs from various live performances. Check out her versions of Tennessee Waltz and Crazy - simply amazing. She is making old school country music cool.

I had the chance to see the new Toshiba LCOS RPTV at the CES and was very impressed (they had a demo of 1080p running). Anyone know if they are planning on building a front projector?

It was probably Norah Jones. I saw her on SNL recently and she was pretty good. A rather ecclectic mix of songs - some jazz, some old country, and some blues. There are several songs on her web site: http://www.norahjones.com/av/default.htm

I think that it was Twister. Does that tell you how long I've owned a DVD player? (it was one of the first available from Warner, which was the first major studio to support the format)

The Twins had the best record in baseball against right handed pitchers this year (71-38). The Angels have one starter (Washburn in game 3) and one reliever (Schoeneweis) that pitch left-handed. The Twins starters have a combined 21-10 record against the Angels. Twins in 5 or 6 games. It will...

My rules are: 1) driving through counts, but driving a few miles in and turning around does not. 2) landing at the airport and switching planes does not count, unless you leave the airport. By these rules, I have been to 44 states (missing AL, MS, AR, SC, ID, and HI). Within the past year, I...

No Sega hockey? No Atari 2600 Pitfall?

Yes, they re-invented his mom for the show, and they re-incarnated his father. I distinctly remember seeing an episode of Cheers where Frasier said that his father was dead.
