  • HDTV STB Reviews

    The Official AVS HDTV Forum STB Synopsis. At last one place where lots of HDTV set top box reviews are kept. Really hard to find this. Surprised that google couldn’t. Great reading on the current generation. I’m right now looking for an high definition television receiver for good old over-the-air with a plain old antenna.…

  • Yet another analysis

    Daily Kos: What the Experts Are Saying. Most cogent analysis I’ve read. Personally, I sure hope we take the middle course. That is slow up, let the 4th Infantry Division show up, have the 3rd ID be methodical. BTW, report on MSNBC was that the 82nd Airborne is in theater and is trying to solidify…

  • A Better Day and Rumsfeld

    Had lots of questions last night. Amazingly starting in the AM, they got answered. Main depressing thing is confirmation about the war planning overoptimism by Rumsfeld and other civilians, ignoring of advice and general meddling in lots of things. Ugh. Bureaucrats get people killed. Echoes of the Vietnam War. Depressing fact is that the 4th…

    Tom’s Hardware Guide Displays: LCD 17: Samsung 171N & NEC LCD1760V vs. Everyone Else – NEC LCD1760V (and 1760NX). Finally something other than the war. The battle of the 17″ LCD monitors is happening. Here’s the best according to Tom’s Hardware. The incredibly well anmed NEC LCD 1760V. Hey do these guys learn naming from…

  • News Lockdown: Where is the 4th and 82nd

    The AgonistFlash XLIX. He’s wondering where the 4th Infantry Division is and the 82nd. I thought a bunch of the 82nd Airborne is in Afghanistan and the 4th is in the US while their equipment makes it way around the Suez Canal. Points out there is a lockdown of information right now.

  • Questions

    Since there are so many great bloggers covering the news and so forth from whatever point of view, I thought I’d being a blog of the good questions I’ve heard over the last day. Then it’s off to sleep * On CNN, they asked the Comcent folks, who don’t you just turn off the Iraqi…

  • It won't be a cake walk

    You can hope and pray, but it won’t be. I was up until 1AM watching CNN the other night. I still can’t believe you can watch this stuff. Anyway, more websites for news junkies: * Eye On Iraq. Like Global Strategy, has a good listof things going on. * “Naval Open Source Intelligence”:http://nosi.editthispage.com/. Amazing what…

  • Techie Details

    If you are like me and are glued (simultaneously) to CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, MSNBC, Fox News, then you’ll love some of these sites. Every technical details. Worst part though is the next time, a reporter says, we are watching that tank, you’ll grimace and say that ain’t no tank, that dope, doesn’t he know thats…

  • Project for the New American Century (PNAC)

    Welcome to the Project for the New American Century. To me a frightening name for a project. Apparently, this is where the intellectual “muscle” and theory is for the Bush administration. Interesting if a little terrifying to read. They have it all figured out though. Good someone does.

  • Malloy is a god

    Free-Return: Why Free-Return?. Bill Malloy is an amazing guy. Just started a blog for him. I’m sure he’ll say some interesting and irreverent things. Here’s his inaugural post. I’ve only known him for a year or so, but it seems like a lifetime of stories already.
