Just two years after letting me build my dream home theater, my wife let me buy a Kurzweil Mark 12i digital piano. We drove up to Chicago to pick it up this past weekend. It sounds awesome. It makes me sound better than I am. I'm finding that a lot of the MIDI files on the Internet (the free...
Need help finding a movie title. My wife remembers seeing this movie in the early 80's. She would have been in her early teens. There was a woman having dreams/visions of a red room (the room and everything in it was red) and being chased. At the end she was running and jumped over a guy she...

My 8 year old son recently discovered that seven of his CD-ROMs are missing (he has the cases but no CDs). We quized his 2 year old sister about them yesterday but every time we asked her "where did the CD-ROMs go?" she would answer by opening the CD-ROM drive and pointing. She's the only one...

Actress Calista Flockhart is apparently planning to team up with boyfriend Harrison Ford in the next Indiana Jones movie. Filming on Indiana Jones 4 is due to begin in May 2004, with the film looking more adult than its 1980s predecessors. A source says, "Harrison Ford had...
If you're a Bowie fan you've got to see this! I came upon it by accident this past weekend and had missed the first 30 minutes. The band was fantastic. Bowie's voice was in excellent form. The song choices were fair but even tired tunes like "Let's Dance" were given a terrific new arrangement...
My wife has discovered allrecipes.com and my waist is showing it! Users are able to rate the recipes based on a number of factors. The highest rating is 5 stars. EVERYTHING she has made that was rated 5 stars has been amazingly delicious. Many of them very simple. She made this pie on Sunday...
I like almost everything van Gogh painted. One of my favorites is Church at Auvers.
There's only have one van Gogh hanging at the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
Put me in a room with a van Gogh and I'll get choked up every time.
My sister-in-law and her friend will be in London the first week of July. Neither one of them has been there before. They definitely want to see a match or two at Wimbledon. They've been checking Ebay for tickets. Do you think this is their best bet? What else should a couple of single women...
How do I get IE 6.0 to STOP resizing pictures to fit my browser window? Every time I pull up a large image that I want to scroll to examine closely, IE automatically resizes it. Thanks!
Just found out this morning that our new puppy will arrive May 16. He's a Coton de Tulear (recognized by the American Rare Breed Association). We're calling him Gizmo right now but considering the date of his arrival (AOTC release date), maybe we should think of something more appropriate...

I've been thinking about doing this ever since I finished the theater. Finally got around to starting it a couple of weeks ago and just finished it tonight. It wasn't hard but it took a lot of time.

My cable internet service provider switched from Excite@Home to AT&T Broadband over the weekend. The change-over went smoothly and I can access all web sites except Google.com (I get a "server not found" error page). I called Tech Support and they were able to access Google.com so I know it's...
It has been over a month since someone from Fox posted here and asked for examples of the DTS soundtrack problems on Moulin Rouge. Could we get an update?

Thanks!
