Re: Projects of the month

Haupauge 350 PVR card Great card. If you want to use it with a Windows box try GB PVR . I did and I'm quite impressed. It works in the backgroud without using hardly any resources and outputs to my TV perfectly. It doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of MythTV, but there are plugins availabl...

There's one album I have to listen to from start to finish. Even if I'd hear a song from it on the radio I'd have to listen to the rest as soon as possible. I know most of you don't share my love for it, but Neutral Milk Hotel's "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" is just about the most solid ...

I never got to see MTV while growing up. We had the Canadian version, Much Music. I used to like the metal show and every Friday they had an "alternative" hour called "City Limits". Got to see videos by bands like They Might Be Giants and The Replacements, so I never missed it.

Re: Flames and Ducks, Game 7

I'm so anxious for this game to start that I can barely stand it. It was bad enough in '04, but now that the Flames are expected to do well it's painful to see them in a game 7. I'm counting on the Sea Of Red doing its job.

Oblivion is a great way to waste a few hundred hours of your time.

Blazing Angels is a good game if you're into dogfighting, but it looks a little hokey to me.

NO! The PBS station we get had Monty Python on instead. Their schedule often conflicts with the one on my PVR so this has happened more than once.
