It flashed on for a second. Very interesting. I’ve got a couple theories brewing. Has anyone else seen it?

Oceanic Air

Enough to get the Lost cobwebs dusted off and start to get excited about the new season. Which is still a ways away. You’ll see that it’s returning to the air ‘early 2009′! I’ll take what I can get. I’m hoping this means after the “Big Game”.

And, just in time for the Holiday’s Lost season for will be released December 9, 2008.

What’s also fun is the Lost Bookclub on ABC’s Lost site. I’ve got my reading list. Will any of you spend time reading some of these books?

Wanted to put a poll up, but something doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. I’ll get a new post on the book club by itself with a new poll when I get it straightened out.

I’m am indulging on my nostalgic feelings by reliving my childhood viewing of Knight Rider with the new Knight Rider series. The important thing here is not to be critical. Enjoy the good ( I like a lot of it), embrace the cliche, and most important cherish every bit of dialog.

Also, KITT can change into an F150 and jump with turbo boost!

CAUTION: NERD ALERT

Now, here’s the real reason of this post. If any episode from the original season was to be remade here, which would you pick?

Here’s mine, Goliath Returns Pt. 1. The return of M. Knights arch-nemesis Garth and the super-semi Goliath. A truck so fearsome that KITT fears him. Obviously a arch-nemesis that looks like the new Michael Knight will have to be introduced somehow, but if they can write in a KITT stand still turbo boost jump over parked cars then anything can be done.

Seriously though, the television show is rapidly becoming a favorite of mine for a couple reasons.

1) just funny

2) just clever

Where else can you get references to Homer jumping the Springfield Gorge, Step-by-Step and the Oxygen network airing Good Fellas all in one place. NOWHERE and that’s why you should probably take the time to either watch, or more realistically TIVO (or is DVR the correct term? Doesn’t really matter to me as facial tissue by any manufacturer is still Kleenex or any copy machine I’m at I’m Zeroxing)

These posts won’t really be news, more impressions of shows that have recently been discovered. (Yes, probably some shows you’ve been watching for years, but we’ve only started watching).

This site is split for two audiences. The have and have nots – meaning those that have a blue ray player and those  of us still looking and waiting to take the plunge.

Pretty comprehensive, but serves as an introduction and some common questions get answered.

Has any body used this? What did you think?

This was  a place to start or supplement anyone researching the purchase of a new television. This was born out of my desire to have something like this when I was looking for a new television.  A place that will give the basics and provide a base to go deeper into the more technical end of the televisions.

 I look at this like a decision tree where first you identify what works for you, then what are the options, then what are other considerations. For example in a room where you have a lot of light, you don’t want a TV that will have a glare on the screen so you can’t see the thing. Then you don’t want a screen that’s too small, or too big (if there is such a thing!).  Then what about formats? All you really hear about is the latest and greatest, but will you notice if you are a certain distance from the screen or if you TV is a certain size? That’s all covered in www.highdefguy.com (well all except the format, that’s coming soon).

Here’s how it works, you can choose what room you’ll be placing your new television. Then you’ll be asked a couple of questions regarding your room. www.highdefguy.com will generate a little summary for you. Use this as a guide when looking through all of the information available to you on this crazy world wide web.

This is constantly being added to expanded on and tweaked. I hope that it will provide a useful resource for you when looking for a new television. Check back often as you will notice changes taking place as information is being added.

Type in what you feel like listening to and BOOM you have got that style. Pretty fast to, at least on my connection.

Wanted to pass a gem like this along.

 There’s a good article by John P. Falcone at Crave/Cnet on what to look for when taking the plunge.

To sum it up, make sure that you understand what you are buying and why a player may be considerably cheaper than another.

I favor this resolution, while the initial cost difference of the HD-DVD would have been cheaper the increased viewing options and menu styling of the Blue-Ray makes up for that. It either does or will in the future have richer menu environments and options for all the extras we have come to know and love.

Enjoy and watch out for falling prices!
