DOOM III
April 30, 2003The Real Cancun
April 29, 2003This movie was hysterical. If you, like the reset of the country, haven’t seen this movie yet, I highly urge you to go see it right now. This movie had everything from the wonder twins, Nichole and Roxanne, in a wet t-shirt contest to Alan, the shy kid, learning to party. Donner should take some notes from this guy. I can’t wait for this to come out on DVD. There must be some great extra footage.
New buttons
April 28, 2003I stole a bunch of buttons from Raging Platypus. Boy does he support a lot of different RSS versions. I put some of them the bottom of this page. Aren’t they cute?
My Warden can beat up your Hero
April 27, 2003I played a good bit of Dark Age of Camelot this weekend. I’m looking forward to the next patch where they add the ability to get free level 20 characters if you have a level 50 character. I’m amazed that the game still holds my attention after all this time. A few guys that I started playing with ages ago are coming back to play on Igraine with me after they spent the last six months or so playing on Gaheris.
Confidence
April 26, 2003I went to see Confidence today with John. It is a movie about some con guys trying to pull off a big scam. The movie has lots of twists and turns and reminds me of other recent movies such as Ocean’s Eleven. It was fun and well paced, so if you aren’t sick of this genre of movies, I would recommend checking it out.

SACD or DVD-Audio?
April 26, 2003In my search for a new DVD player, I’ve run in to the problem of trying to pick between a SACD playing DVD player or a DVD-Audio playing one. Do these formats really sound that much better than standard CDs? I can’t imagine that most surround channels even make sense with most music. Where is a person sitting when listening to 5.1 or 6.1 music? If I go to a concert, it isn’t like I’m standing between the singers, drummers, bass players, etc. All the music is coming from the stage. Anyone care to comment on how this works? All discs I see on these formats seem to be remastered versions of old CDs that I don’t even want.
Also, do any SACD or DVD-Audio players actually support digital output so that I can use the DACs on my receiver? All the ones I’ve seen have 6 analog outputs.

DVD player suggestions?
April 20, 2003Does anyone have a suggestion for a new DVD player? My 5 year old Panasonic A105 doesn’t support things like DTS or progressive scan. It has been a great player, but I think its about time to upgrade. I haven’t really looked around much yet, but I want something solid and something that sounds good playing CDs.
