You probably heard the scream of disappointment emanating from
the Enmore district last week when jedd realised that Pegasus - also
known as S2E10 - was the last episode for the year, and that the next
episode was not going to be shown a week later .. but rather sometime
in January 2006.
] keeps it under 3hrs a week, any more than that and I could justify
I suggested a show (probably Firefly) to a friend a while back .. and
he then went through and listed all 21 TV shows he was downloading
and watching each week. Even sans advertisements, that's still
clocking in at about 15 hours of TV a week. On top of that he also
found time to watch every new release (though I don't know how anyone
can suffer the screeners) fillum. What frightened me most was the
fact he was living with a 60GB drive. Out of 1.2TB, I've got about
150gb free.
Projectors .. are coming down in price. They almost fit the category
of 'no moving parts', and so warrant investigating the second hand or
auction market. Keep an eye on Gray's, Trading Post, etc. The best
bet is to work somewhere that'll let you borrow them -- that way
they can pay for the bulbs. Another friend recently bought a 120cm
rear projection TV for the thick end of $3k. Can't understand the
logic of paying that much for anything less than a 3m display.
i.e. projectors are cheaper, more portable (pros and cons there),
are visible from any angle, don't suffer the burn in problems of
plasmas and LCD's (yeah, I know they're getting better) and give
you a larger display.
