We finally got our first HD TV. After some searching and browsing I knew which one I wanted. We ended up with a 47″ 1080p Philips Ambilight. It came in yesterday so I haven’t fully used it but so far I am loving it. Not only the size and the nice crisp HD channels (we upgraded our Time Warner Cable to Digital/HD Set Top Box two weeks ago) but the ambilight adds another experience to it. Anyways, you can see a picture of our new entertainment setup (new tv stand, dvd/game stand, etc) here. Below is a quick video of the tv and the ambilight.
We spend a lot of time watching TV shows. A few our TiVo catches and the rest I stream from the laptop to the Xbox 360. We just don’t have the time to spend watching tv when the networks want us to so we hardly ever watch live tv. I recently got Season 1 of Jericho. I had heard of Jericho but had never watched it and didn’t know much about it. After reading that a few people I follow were excited for season 2 and reading more about the show it grabbed my attention. So, we had to get season one. We are about half way through the season and I gotta say its an awesome show. I’m lovin’ the characters, the plot, the mystery and the sub-plots. We hope to finish season one in time for season two. Another show that I have never watched but just got the first season of is ‘Dexter’. We plan to start watching it after we finish Jericho. Since the WGA Strike has limited most of the shows we do watch during the Fall/Spring to just a few final episodes (like Bones, House, Cold Case, Criminal Minds, etc) we needed something else to fill the void. We don’t watch reality tv at all (however I’m loving American Gladiators so far) so this fills the gap as we watch maybe 2 hours of live tv a week.
On another note; Blog 365 won’t happen for me. Not enough happens around me for me to have something to blog about daily and I don’t want to waste my time and yours on posting minor things of no interest. I know several other people who are also having a problem with quantity vs quality for Blog 365(6) but for me it just won’t work. Posts will pick up next month when I start video blogging though and doing Me Todays (not daily but a few times a week). The redesign is just about done and will be launched sometime in February. I’m not sure when but shooting for the middle of the month or the end of the month. Might post a screenshot in the coming days though.
Sometimes everybody needs a lazy day. Today was one of those days. I had actually planned to get some work done today on a custom coach management system for a client but instead caught up on some tv shows and watched a movie with Melissa. I thought I was only 2 weeks behind on Journeyman but ended up being 4 weeks behind. Lots of good new shows this season and some great seasons to other shows, including House. Waiting to see how this WGA Strike pans out. I’m hoping it doesn’t effect the final season of Scrubs. Been looking forward to it. We watched The Invisible tonight. Its a movie I’ve wanted to see and turned out to be pretty good. Not a great movie but worth the watch. Tomorrow will be a long day as I have a ton of stuff on my to-do list including a redesign for a church in Lawton, complete a design for a bar/live music venue, and attempt to get some work done on this custom php project for LawtonSoccer. Thats on top of a long list of emails that need to be sent out tomorrow and those that need to be replied to. That doesn’t include that 2532|Gigs is still dead due to a bug in the login system (that we still can’t get fixed). So, we will see how the weeks goes.
