Review of 1080p HD Resolution...

While doing some research around the web about the benefits of 1080p resolution for a Home Theater I discovered some interesting limitations. In this article it discusses the actual capabilities of the Human Eye (20/20 vision can, at best, discriminate 1/60 degree of arc. This means that the further you sit from your TV and dependent of the size of your TV going to a higher resolution may not truly be noticed.

It seems that coming soon it will be difficult to purchase anything but a 1080p LCD/Plasma TV. I'm sure the lower resolutions will be available at cheaper prices but the mainstream seems to be slowly moving to 1080p. So this article may become a non-issue with the proliferation. However, while you are still paying a premium price for 1080p over 720p (768p for most LCD panels) this article could ease your mind on whether you should fork over the cash.

If you are looking at a smaller screen, don't bother. If you are looking at larger screens, especially Front Projection to get upwards of 90-120", 1080p would definitely be noticed.

I hope this helps you...

YouTube - Baby Got Back (Gilbert and Sullivan style)

This is an oldy but a goody. (Not that old, really.) But I digress. As someone who has DJ'd many college parties in the late 80's through mid-90's I am quite familiar with a lot of popular party/dance tunes from that era. Well a few months ago I ran into this Video and I couldn't stop laughing. The person who did this put much time and effort into his work and I've shared it with a few people.

Anyway, if you're a fan of Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby Got Back song and/or Gilber and Sullivan, you may find this funny. It's a stitch. I hope you find it as funny as I do.

Undercover Brother is Funny!

I was re-watching Undercover Brother last night and realized that unlike most comedies that "shoot their wad" in the first 30 minutes this movie is humorous from beginning to end. The only downside to seeing this movie is that my wife will now look at me exasperatedly for weeks as I quote some of the more memorable parts of the movie randomly. Of course, who wouldn't get irritated at that?

First, Eddie Griffin needs to be in more movies. I laugh throughout the whole movie while the "B.R.O.T.H.E.R.H.O.O.D." (what does that stand for anyway? it's never explained) tries to keep "THE MAN" from keeping the brothers down. Dave Chapelle as Conspiracy Brother is hysterical as is the "Cat Fight" between Sistah Girl and White She-Devil. And let's not forget to metion Billy Dee Williams, Neil Patrick Harris and a cameo by Mr. James Brown.

Second, the music selection throughout this movie is incredible. Always something cool and funky coming out of the stereo.

Ok, this move is totally unbelievable but so what? It's a C-O-M-E-D-Y. If you absolutely can't stand racial jokes, especially those told from the black or african-american perspective, don't watch this movie. I get a kick out of this movie every time I watch it.

I hope you like it.

It's a sad way to start...

So, I figure what's an easy way to get my very first Blog Post going. Should it be something poignant? What's suitable? Should it be thought-provoking? What's good enough? Informational? Well, there's so much info out there that everyone else is sharing. I've put this off for at least a year now.

So today I decided that I'll start it off with a joke email I got from my "Barber". Now, if she were a guy, and there was a candy-striped rotating pole out front, she'd be a barber. But she's not and there isn't. If I were person getting my hair "styled" rather than just cut, she'd be my "Hair Stylist". So how do I describe her other than the cool lady that cuts my hair? Not barber, not stylist. Maybe "Great Shortener of Hair"? "Scalp Revealer"? "Head Mower"? Who knows, and I probably won't come up with a good one here....

So, here's the latest joke from her:

Subject: new weight loss program

A guy calls a company and orders their 5-day, 10 lb. weight loss program. The next day, there's a knock on the door and there stands before him a voluptuous, athletic, 19 year old babe dressed in nothing but a pair of Nike running shoes and a sign around her neck.

She introduces herself as a representative of the weight loss company. The sign reads, "If you can catch me, you can have me."

Without a second thought, he takes off after her. A few miles later huffing and puffing, he finally gives up. The same girl shows up for the next four days and the same thing happens. On the fifth day, he weighs himself and is delighted to find he has lost 10 lbs. as promised.

He calls the company and orders their 5-day/20 pound program. The next day there's a knock at the door and there stands the most stunning, beautiful, sexy woman he has ever seen in his life. She is wearing nothing but Reebok running shoes and a sign around her neck that reads, "If you catch me you can have me".

Well, he's out the door after her like a shot. This girl is in excellent shape and he does his best, but no such luck. So for the next four days, the same routine happens with him gradually getting in better and better shape.

Much to his delight on the fifth day when he weighs himself, he discovers that he has lost another 20 lbs. as promised. He decides to go for broke and calls the company to order the 7-day/50 pound program

"Are you sure?" asks the representative on the phone. "This is our most rigorous program."

"Absolutely," he replies, "I haven't felt this good in years."

The next day there's a knock at the door; and when he opens it he finds a huge muscular guy standing there wearing nothing but pink running shoes and a sign around his neck that reads, "If I catch you, your ass is mine."

He lost 63 pounds that week
