When CM Punk's music started playing last night and he walked out with the MITB case, I marked out like a 5 year old. Him winning the belt was the greatest (and most unexpected) moment in wrestling that I can remember in a LONG time. I just hope it "sticks" for a while...
Keith - Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to check it out. They do have broadband, so that's not a problem. But this is also a very good excuse to have them get rid of their ancient technology (I was shocked to see recently that their PC doesn't even have a USB port)...
Eric - let me know how well screen sharing works, as I have had the same idea for my grandparents. They're currently running Windows ME on an old 700mhz PC with 16MB of RAM and I keep telling them that it's time for a new computer. Screen sharing would help me convince them to go OSX, as my...
I don't have USA HD (Buckeye Cable in NW Ohio), but I have to say that even in (digital) SD, it was noticibly better looking than before. I hope we get USA HD soon :)
Casey - thanks for the WEC info! I watched the rest of the WrekCage show that I had taped last night and was quite impressed. All the guys really pressed the action, which made for very exciting (and short) fights. Really good stuff, as I hate fights that go to the judges for decision. I will...
I'm having a few friends over to watch UFC 73 this Saturday. Looks like a good card and should be fun. When is WEC on the Versus network? My listing for Vs always shows, "Off the air", but last night I happened to flip past it and there was MMA on. The first show was a reality show called...
Do you know how long ago Canon started moving the focus motors to the lenses? I have a Canon Rebel 2000 that I was planning on moving the lenses and flash to a Canon DSLR (I'm waiting to see what replaces the XTi; hopefully this fall), and never thought about the lenses not being compatible (at...
That looks like a good deal. Keep in mind, though, that you're going to want to add more RAM to it. 512MB is just not enough anymore. I have the same machine and bumped it to 2GB. The other thing to keep in mind is that Apple *may* be refreshing the Mac Mini lineup in the near future. This is...
Michaels (I hope; should be a good match either way)
Undertaker (If Batista ends the streak, I'll be livid)
Lashley (There's no chance in hell of Trump going bald)
Mr. Kennedy (I'd like to see Punk pull it off, but I think he'll be like Shelton Benjamin in last year's, where he has a great...
Dave, Thanks for pointing this out. I've noticed it on the last several episodes, and thought I was just being overly AV sensitive (which my wife accuses me of on a regular basis). Glad to know I'm not losing my mind, but this is (at best) a shady and annoying practice. I guess I'll have to...
I should clarify...the songs are not ones that I bought from iTunes but that I ripped from CD into iTunes AAC. Would GarageBand be able to do the editing? I haven't played around with it too much.
I'm building some playlists in iTunes that will be played at my wedding reception, and there are a couple of songs that I'd like to play, but that contain an "offensive" word or two that I'd prefer some of the older and/or religious guests at the reception not hear. Is there any software...
So was Kelton getting killed off originally part of the plan or was it because of bad ratings or something else? I thought he did a pretty good job, and if they were going to kill someone off, I'd rather they killed off his partner. She is so boring on this show that I can't even remember her...
I'm in the same boat as Glen. I'm looking for a 32" LCD to use as a secondary TV in my bedroom for use with DVD/HD-DVD, HD Cable, and a Mac Mini. How is the Dell line?
Good Eats is the best, but I also have to recommend America's Test Kitchen on PBS. They have really good recipes and cooking tips, and also test cooking equipment. Rachel Ray annoys me.
I bought one for my parents (definitely non-techies) for Christmas, and they couldn't be happier. And I haven't received a single "which channel do I need to turn the TV to to watch a DVD" phone call since. That alone was worth every penny :)
I installed a Lutron Maestro remote dimmer switch, which works great, except for one problem (which several of you have mentioned): the IR receiving eye has a very limited reception angle/range. The problem is that the switch is at the top of the stairs and my home theater is at the bottom. I...
I was angry after watching last night's episode. We just watched ~20 hours of a show and still don't know any more than we did at the end of the first episode. Yes, we know more about the characters (and that part has been admittedly great), but as far as the overall story, we don't know...
My girlfriend has some audio tapes that her dad's garage band made "back in the day". For his b-day this year, she wants to convert them to CD. What sort of hardware/software do I need to make this happen? I have both a Mac and a PC, and don't care which one I use to do this. I need some way...
If you're only going to buy one disc, go with The Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (DVD-A). Not only is it great, inventive music, but the surround mix is amazing. I played it for a few friends the other night, and they were ready to go out and buy it the next day.
