    My impressions: Sansa m200 (2 gig) vs. Zune 80 gig

    Well, the ever-lovely Mrs. W got me an engraved 80 gig Zune for Christmas. I guess she got tired of those 2 gig Sansas we’ve been living with for the past few years and decided to drag me into the 21st century, kicking and screaming. Gotta love that woman. I’ve been learning how to use...

    Hi Fi in the 70's, as predicted in 1961.

    Like they said in American Grafitti, "Where were you in '62?" http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/archives/2008/12/clip_job_wild_h.php At least they nailed the VCR.

    So, Chicken Little WAS right. The sky WAS falling for Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac.

    But, as usual, they wouldn't listen to him. What's really funny is that they then tried to blame him for causing it. But what's really scary is that everyone bought into that. http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/7327 Don't worry. With the promised changes, rest assured that...

    Tivoli Isongbook on sale for $99 at Sears.

    We travel a lot of traveling and having something to play our Ipods and CD players through for a roomfull of music is a necessity to me. I used to use a computer speaker system from my step-son's house in Texas, but it's too bulky to fit into a suitcase. I've liked the concept of the...

    "The truth about Monster Mini Golf from Noel Lee"

    Please note the quotes. That's what he called it on this Youtube blurb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljEelGaB3bE&feature=related It looks like the viral warfare might be taking it's toll. The head monster was induced to crawl out of his cave to actually make a public response. Keep...

    On this day in 1933, the 21st amendment was passed. This cancelled out the 18th amendment that caused the start of prohobition! So. On with the Party! Let's raise a toast, well, because we can! :D

    Comcast must be feeling the heat.

    We just renegotiated what I'll be paying for "the exact same service" (their words) for the next twelve months. My bill went up to just above my personal threshold of what I can justify. So, I called their number and chose Option 4, and when I chose the "cancel service" option, I was...

    Oh yeah? You and what army?

    Actually, navy, but why ruin a great subject line? http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20081124/Piracy/ And, just who should absorb the costs of such a project? I wonder if things would have been different there if Clinton didn't turn tail and run when they turned the heat up...

    WEll, finally some good news on the economic front.

    "Imports of crude oil decreased 20%, or $7 billion dollars, to $26.45 billion in September from $33.55 billion the month before. The decline comes as demand for gasoline and other petroleum products has waned." So, does this mean that all the soccer moms who drive Hummers with a kid in one...

    My take on the bailout, part 1

    Well. it seems that “they” want the federal government to come to the aid of the banks in this mortgage fiasco. Why just the banks? After all, greed was the main cause of this. It was greed on the part of the mortgage granters (banks and such), it was greed on the parts of those that...

    Is this guy aptly named or what?

    I wonder if this is a stage name or the one he was born with. In either case, what an Andy! http://www.comcast.net/articles/entertainment/20080716/People.****/

    Anybody looking for an entry level stereo (Two Channel) system?

    Rat Shack has a little Sherwood on sale for $80. That's new-in-box with full warranty and it's got enough power to drive most speakers (including vintage)one would realistically (pun intended) consider pairing with it. I've recommended these to friends in the past and have no regrrets...

    Another entry in the monster lawsuit file.

    Business model seems to be that if ya lose one, you find another victim to squeeze. http://www.news10.net/display_story.aspx?storyid=41996 So, they do they own the word "Monster", or do they also own the word "cable" as well?
