Ponderings For 2007-10-17

posted in Ponderings |
  • My slowness with posts since last weekend is due to my cable modem connection at the house being a bit flaky. Actually, if you can’t get to any of the guygordon.com web sites, that’s also the reason why. It’s been a bit better over the last couple days, and it’s still being worked on. Hopefully, it’ll be smooth and stable soon.
  • Heck yeah. Dell intros a couple new monitors. I want that 24 incher. They’ve gotten the color range up on it, which is something I’ve been wanting to see happen. I have their 24 inch model from a couple years ago. It lacks HDCP which makes it a real pain for HD disc viewing. The new models have that, of course (as did the first model after the one I have). But my main visual complaint with the otherwise beautiful monitor I have is the color range/contrast ratio, which causes some artifact halo issues in darker or wide contrast scenes. Sounds like they’ve got it pretty much ironed out.
  • Here’s a funny segment from Conan’s show during an accidental fire alarm.
  • Now here a cool, tricked out ride
  • So, looks like the AT&T death star is gunning for another big target
  • The end of times for analog TV broadcast
  • The Sarah Conner Chronicles gets a launch date
  • Another step in the right direction for the LONG in gestation second X-Files film. Can’t say how much I’d love to see said movie finally get made.
  • A few more movie reviews are pending. Speaking of which, I don’t know if I mentioned it in a previous post and I don’t feel like searching to find out, but Blade Runner: The Final Cut is actually getting a screening in Chicago (at the Music Box Theatre). I’m definitely going.
