    I knew the day would come eventually.

    My 32" Toshiba TV, for which I paid $888 in 2006 pretty much died. I turn it on and everyone and everything looks like The Incredible Hulk. The tint adjustment has no effect at all but, if I turn the color all the way down, it still gives a durn good Black and White picture. Everything looks...

    Pixels.

    I wouldn't pay to see this but since it's on Starz I figured I'd give it a go. Yeah, this an Adam Sandler movie with a preposterous plot and his trademark snarky dialog. BUT, if you go into this realizing that's a pure comedy, it works. Silly, juvenile and totally illogical but it had us...

    dunno if this belongs here, but...

    I was channel surfing and stumbled on an Alice Cooper concert in Austin in February last year. I gotta say, for a 67 year old geezer he put on one heluva show. Did a lot of his standards and a few covers of others songs, the musicianship was first rate, and the theatrics were to die for...

    OK, mrsw upgraded from Windows 8 to 10. Arggggh!

    About a year and a half go, wifey bought a HP laptop with windows 8. No problem. I loaded drivers form our two HP printers without a glitch. So, last week she took MS up on their free upgrade to windows 10. Now, the fun begins. She was able to get her data restored and most of her apps...

    I went to school with the 1910 Fruitgum Company.

    They knew exactly what they were writing and had no bones about being deep. I understand the term "bubblegum music" originated with this song. http://metv.com/stories/pop-flashback-these-were-the-top-ten-hits-this-week-in-1968
