The home theater is starting to move along. The projector, a Sharp XV-Z12000, is anxiously waiting being put to use. The mounting bracket and extension pole ordered from Audio Encounters should be in today or tomorrow (pricy items at almost $500). I’ve settled on a DVD player, the Samsung DVD-HD931, and ordered it from Amazon. Read More …
Game Night Skittles
This week I set up forums on this site. Yesterday was the first day they were really up and running with users besides me. One innocent little post about skittles ended up derailing our normal game night and turning it into a search for Skittles so we could learn thier hidden secrets. The Skittle Project.
