You know, a subscriptipon music service on paper is a great idea. You tell the computer what music groups and songs you like and it plays them and a whole lot of other things that may interest you based onyour selections. The problem with this idea is that it rarely plays any music you really want to hear. I have a pandora subscription that I use ( Read more... )

So, I am now digitizing my entire DVD library and my goodness, this is going to take forever. I was excited at first because I was going to use my super high performance, 64 bit processing, dual graphics card wielding, pc that I built about 6 months ago. The program worked for two DVD encodings and then every other attempt afterwards failed. I was ( Read more... )

You know, I can forgive a person racing the yellow but ending up running the red light, sometimes you are just in a hurry and want to challenge fate. I do not approve but I do understand automobile accidents, shit does indeed happen. The one thing I just cannot stand is the California roll (rolling through a stop sign). I am odd like that ( Read more... )

My thoughts on my recent having the police called on me for a noise complaint is mixed. I am wondering why whomever called did not just come knock on the door and ask me to turn it down which begs another question, why now? I have been playing Halo: Reach all week in surround sound even louder than that and usually watch all kinds of movies all ( Read more... )

I was having a discussion with a buddy last week when I had this thought. When my people make it big (black people), some of them choose to stay where they are from. However, the majority move to nicer, safer places. My idea is this, while living in the big city can be exciting, I think it high time that when inner city kids mature that they move ( Read more... )

You know, religious people never change. When you voice any other opinion other than what they believe to be the only truth, you are classified as a heathen, and they stop talking to you. Life will go on, I will move on, make new friends, etc. I find it so fascinating that when they hit rock bottom, because all their belief is in blind faith, ideas ( Read more... )

You know, if a director gets the final say in what gets shown on the screen after making a movie, then why do they release the home versions called directors cut, extended directors cut, etc? I only ask because the Alien Quadrilogy box set has 9 disks. One disk for each movie contains bot the regular theatrical release and the directors cut and the ( Read more... )

So, I went to watch some softball played today by my coworkers and ended up getting drafted into the game. I guess my weakness is just being to kind. They looked so helpless since they did not have enough people show up to play. I feel bad for them, all the high and mighty better than me comments they make all week and they could not even pull ( Read more... )

I find it amazing how my own country feels the need to tell the people what is mopral and what is not, how to live and what is not acceptable. I recently read an article on the huffington post website about Argentina legalizing same sex marriage. As I read it I had thoughts like good for them and only if USA would stop delaying the issue and ( Read more... )

Alright, I can officially comment on the difference between HD video sources vs. SD and submit an educated opinion about 3D. So, I own a Blue Ray drive for my computer and also purchased a HD monitor for the new computer I built. I have a 47in. LG HDTV with an upscaling dvd home theater surround sound. My MacBook Pro laptop can display nearly HD ( Read more... )
