Friday news and notes
- Well, with the second showing of our house last night (no news yet,) I started to think about what I’ll be doing for a gaming setup at the new place. I’m seriously thinking about getting a really nice 30-something inch LCD (1080P preferably) and then getting a really nice set of surround headphones to hook up to the receiver (Denon AVR-1805) that I will have in that room. Any suggestions for TV’s or headphones?
- So, I woke up late yesterday and there was a bit of a scramble to get out of the house to take my girls to day care. My wife said to my daughter, “Gaby. We’re late, we have to get you ready.” My daughter replied, “Momma’s late.”
I quickly replied, “She sure as hell better not be late. There is no way I’m dealing with 3 girls under the age of 4.”
- A few months ago I mentioned that a tradition was ending. Wisconsin Public Television for as long as I can recall, has always broadcasted Wisconsin Hockey games on tape delay after the game was over. Today I see from the Wisconsin Public Television site that they still will be broadcasting these games. Not a big deal for any of you, but for me it’s a big deal.
- More and more spammers keep trying to get added to the forums. I personally enjoy seeing the occupations and interests that they list for themselves in their forum. I’ll probably be adding a new feature to the signups that is supposed to reduce the number of spammers that register next week. Join us next week for more ‘Fun with spammers.’
- I wonder if Cub fans will wonder if the Braves were giving the Brewers a benefit by pitching a former Brewer (Jeff Bennett) against them yesterday. The plot thickens…..
I met Bennett a few years ago at a Brewer banquet in Madison. Really nice guy. Probably one of the best groomed goatees that I’ve ever seen. The answer to your question is ‘Yes.’ I did turn in my “man card” a long time ago.

Although it’s low pricetag and lesser-known brand name might seem to be red-flags, I’ve had a Westinghouse LVM-37W3 1080P 37″ LCD for a year now and have been absolutely thrilled with it. I’ve seen friends with Sharps and such that cost twice as much that don’t look as good. I’ve been using PS3, Xbox360, Wii, Blu-ray, HD-DVD, Cable TV with it and it’s been fantastic at all of them. Absolutely the most bang for your buck out there…
