Big HD Boggin

Front projectors for home video aren’t for everyone. They’re not good for casual TV viewing, especially in SD. But for sports in HD, and a true home theatre experience, if you can manage a front projector it’s the way to go.

I’m very happy with my Panasonic PT-AX200U, a 720p model. Regular widescreen DVD’s look awesome, and FiOS HD is jaw-dropping good. The price on this model has just been cut to $999. This is the best front projector deal going.

With the $300 savings compared to last year, you can get a projector cart like the Da-Lite PH 800-1250, avoiding the expense and difficulty of a ceiling mount. If you need to mount the projector on a wall, there’s a shelf at Target for less than $40. The Epson Duet portable screen can be set up and taken down in two minutes. It’s called “duet” because it can be adjusted for 4:3 and 16:9. Very nifty.

Petula Montage

Jeanie Beanie has spotted a Petula Clark montage homage on YouTube. It was put together by ptownmotowndj, who did a very nice job, but embedding is disabled. Why? I’ve downloaded it and here it is.

Stop being so eloquent!

Two comments about the final debate. I think it was McCain’s best of the three, but it’s ridiculous to argue, as McCain did, that because somebody is eloquent they should be doubted.
