Feels great to unclutter, right? I'll do that here: I unclutter one room, and the next room gets the "stuff dump"...Occasionally I have the clarity to realize that I must get rid of "treasure"...

I am anti apple so I don't want anything to do with any Igarbarge crap.
Thanks for the chuckle.

My wife would do the same for me, sort of. Just substitute "large dumpsters" for "nice shelves for my records." Oh, and it wouldn't be IKEA, it would be the dump.Funny in the middle of reading this, my wife calls me. She is down in Georgetown Texas, and happened to stop off at the ikea store in that area telling me how they have great stuff including some nice shelfs for my records.
Another reason to secure any shelving, especially ones with heavy loads, to the walls is earthquakes. You probably only need to worry if you live somewhere prone to this, like Missouri. Or Earth.

(using a point and shoot camera, with the color correction set to tungsten in a natural light room). I was too lazy to do it again. BONUS: hear what P.M. Summer sounds like!
I love the video, and of course, being a carpenter, have a good supply of wood glue. Would you be a pal and send me a few of your credit cards?

Lovely daughters, Ben. Your wife must be EXTRA beautiful!!

I don't wanna make you guys too jealous (JB!), but I'm pretty busy this week with three 22-year old Japanese ladies!
Before y'all get thinking the wrong thing, they all call me Papa, and they're all 3 my Japanese "daughters." One of the girls was here 1-1/2 years ago as an exchange student. This year she's back with two friends! Having fun showing the local sites. This afternoon it's off to the Charles M. Schulz Museum!

Ooh, do you have a red plaid shirt?Me, I was always a Lager man.

sputnik, I think my teddy bear was made by the same company. Same creepy face. Mine didn't have the fancy hands or shoes, though.

I love the look of the console you pictured, Iain. The Klipsch wooden prototype is too boxy for my tastes. Klipsch designers should take inspiration from that wild, organic shaped Khorn pictured in the museum...

I dunno Ben. They're not turning me on...

Cute, Dave.I had one that I recall. A little panda. The dim memory I have is of it pretty dirty and the nose gone. I am sure my mom finally gave it a decent burial. On a sort of connected thought, I recall hearing a him I liked in the Baptist church I assumed was about a teddy bear. It was called "Gladly, the Cross Eyed Bear."

I had a large teddy bear with a rubbery face. I had it up until a year ago, when the Mrs. convinced me to toss it. Not sure that was a good idea. I still have my little yellow elephant, though.

Yep. We took the train from Oakland to Reno and back, and nine months later we were parents. Gotta love those "sleeper" cars...

Unbreakable outlet covers are hard to break...they are also hard to trim, which is why I am typing this with one hand while the other one is trying to control the bleeding. It is beer-thirty.
Dude!

Anyone wish to weigh in on the dvr issue?

Thank you, Mike. I appreciate it!

Jonathan Coulton, Re: Your Brains
Heya Tom, it's Bob, from the office down the hall.
Good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Things have been O.K. for me except that I'm a zombie now.
I really wish you'd let us in.
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand.
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming.
All we wanna do is eat your brains.
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we wanna do is eat your brains.
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains.
I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's OK for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns,
Then you'll have to make the call.
I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough.
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff.
But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly.
All we wanna do is eat your brains.

I'd like to help you Tom, in any way I can.
I sure appreciate the way you're working with me.
I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am.
I guess I am...
Got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up?
I know we'll get to common ground somehow.
Meanwhile I'll report back to my colleagues who are chewing on the doors
I guess we'll table this for now
I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we're all busy as hell
And we'll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open
All we wanna do is eat your brains

One other thing, the LG's speakers are worse than bad. Super tinny. I'd like to be able to improve the sound without turning on the big system every time I want to watch the news. I'm considering hooking up an Energy sub to the tv's audio out to see if that makes it bearable.

My wife and kids were kind enough to buy me a new TV (LG 42LV4400) this last Christmas (it doesn't require jiggling to get a clear signal!), and I need to upgrade my set-up to digital. I'm a Comcast customer (cable and internet) and have generally been pleased with their service. Since the old tv was over 12 years old, our whole system was analog. Associated (current) equipment is a Comcast convertor box, Panasonic dvd player, Denon AVR-3300 receiver, TIVO box. I'm planning on upgrading the dvd player (like to find a good deal on an Oppo 93, maybe an 83), but I see no need to change the receiver, at least not right away. Of course, we'll need a new digital dvr.
So, my main question is, would it be better to get a dvr from Comcast, TIVO, or somewhere else? We watch almost nothing unless it's been TIVOed, so a dvr is critical. I know that the LG is not wi-fi, but it would be nice if either the dvr or cable box (?) would allow for this feature. We also do Netflix, if that makes a difference.
All suggestions and advice entertained. I'd like to keep it all relatively simple, without sacrificing essential features (whatever they are!).

Tim, can you post a photo of the speakers, and of the tags?
-
We do! We've done it for at least the last 20 years. About 40 friends charter a bus, and we have a great time going up, there and coming back! We do several pools together, so the game is even more fun to watch. About 1/3 of us gather in our "leader's" suite for the game.We'll be watching the Superbowl (as usual) at the Silver Legacy hotel in Reno!
really? you guys go to Reno to watch the superbowl?

That one was heartbreaking. But...Pitchers and catchers report next month!!Niners fumbled their chance away. Ravens missed a tying field goal at the end for their chance.
Oh hell, that one muffed kick-off return was not even a fumble! The ball barely grazed the guy's knee! He probably did not even realize that the ball did touch his knee!
Yeah that was a weird one, but I was referring to the fumbled punt in over time that set up the winning field goal.

Khoda....
Take a look at: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/103886.aspx
That's the same as my link above. Marshall, how would you date these particular speakers? I'm stumped!
More creative than normal
