Imagine my surprise yesterday morning when I woke up in Vermont to find a thin layer of the white stuff covering everything! It had all melted by 9am and the temp eventually got up to around 50 but...

Overall I'd have to agree that you've done very well and that ShopFox sander is a true gloat at $50! I'd definitely agree with Sean that the very next thing you need to add to your shop is a decent...

Another great source for "self-calibration" is TweakTV (www.tweaktv dot com). And, a really nice, easy-to-use tool for properly setting some of your user controls is the HDTV Calibration Wizard DVD...

Yes, it definitely takes special equipment and training and a sizable investment of time and money. Most professional calibrators are trained and certified by either the Imaging Science Foundation...

Just calibrated a 58" Panasonic V10 plasma for a customer last night and this has got to be one of the best HDTV displays available today. And, at a street price of under $2,200, one of the best...

Hopefully (for our sake, since we ultimately paid the bill) they got a remnant deal on it as there was an awful lot of unsold time slots on the stuporbowl this year. My better half is in the large...

Makes sense and I suppose it's less expensive that billboards and radio & TV advertising (which they're also doing). :rolleyes:

However, the low cost of mass mailings is a primary reason that the...

I like the way your friend's mind works! I was nearly speechless when I opened my envelope from the Census Bureau yesterday and remain dumbfounded at the stupidity of it all . . .

Beyootyful piece of work on a really nice piece of wood. I personally really like the assymetric aspect of the mineral streaks in the grain pattern. This is the kind of craftsmanship that always...

Thanks John, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Looks as if the local elections here are going to get much more heated than usual this year (we're already getting campaign phone calls and mail) so if...

It's called CableCARD but there are almost no TVs sold today with the requisite slots. TiVo still uses it and, by law, cable companies are required to provide CableCARDs to customers who request...

If your cable company converts to SDV (Switched Digital Video) you'll get your wish . . . but, as with all things, be careful what you wish for (read some of the comments and you'll see what I mean):...

There is still totally FREE TV, even HD. It's called OTA (Off The Air) and you get it with an antenna. However, the signal is sometimes weak or nonexistant and it's totally susceptible to...

Every cable setup that I've seen in recent years requires either a cable box or cable card(s) to receive anything but "basic" cable - usually the first 18-30 channels. My guess is if your friend has...

Well HD is on the line/satellite signal, but it's scrambled (that's how they can turn off your service if you don't pay your bill, they turn off your cable box or satellite receiver remotely). Plus...

I see it all the time. Customer buys an HDTV, gets it home, hooks it up to their old cable box or satellite receiver and thinks they're in business. It probably looks better because it's a digital...

Try Vudu, they've got about 1,000 movies and many can be downloaded in 1080p. Only bad thing about Vudu is that yesterday it was announced they're being bought by Wal Mart.


Yup, fully...

Where in southern VT? I'm in the Manchester/Winhall area pretty much every other weekend so PM me if you'd like to set something up. I'm a big fan of rear projectors (Sony KDS-60A2020 in my NY media...

In over 10 years of being involved with some of the highest-end video out there (for years I co-exhibited at trade shows with industry leaders such as Runco, Vidikron, Da-Lite, Lumagen and Stewart...

Since you're already a plasma fan and if the room doesn't have too much natural light it would probably be either a Panasonic TC-P50V10 or Samsung PN50B650 plasma as they have the best black levels...

Congrats on entering the fabulous world of high-definition! You purchased a pretty decent current generation display and may want to check out the review below from CNET for some tips on adjusting...

WOW! This guy is a real artiste! My 2nd car was a '59 Impala convertible so this really brought back some fond memories. Thanks for sharing.

To paraphrase a friend who teaches sculpture:

"You've uncovered the beautiful bowl that was hiding in that piece of wood."

Count me in, that would look really nice hanging on my Milwaukee.

Here's a pic a friend who lives just outside of DC just posted on another forum a few minutes ago, lookin' pretty nasty down there. Not a single flake here in the lower Hudson Valley yet but a really...
