All I want for my birthday is a fair voting process in this country.
Last night when I got home I spent a couple hours moving items around my apartment in an effort to hook up the bigscreen TV that Jon is loaning me till he returns next summer (or whenever). I knew it was going to be a pretty major undertaking, but man, what a nightmare. I had to partially dismantle a shelving system and then re-assemble it (which probably took 2 hours alone), I had to go through a huge spaghetti-like mess of wires and unplug everything and go about re-connecting it all; and I had to move both a 27" and a 32" TV from one room to the next. I also had to move some furniture around to make room for all that moving, but it was definitely worth it, even though I've still got a lot of crap to move around yet. Just turning on the new TV and popping in a DVD to check it out was really nice. This weekend the cable people are coming out to install HDTV and a DVR in my living room, and I can't wait to see that kind of clarity, but it was nice to be able to have such a large, clear picture to look at at home. The TV is definitely overkill, with something like 9 video inputs (I could plug my G5 into it using the DVI input if I wanted to, which was weird to see on a TV), and I am using the component inputs from my DVD player connected with THX-approved Monster Cables (which are also overkill, but which Jon is also letting me use while he's out of town). Sorry to geek out over it all, but it's a pretty sweet setup that Jon has let me use for the next couple months, and I'm excited about it :grin Also, I now moved my 32" TV into my bedroom and got the Tivo all hooked up to that, and tonight if I get a chance I'm gonna try to figure out some better connections for that. Anyway, I gotta get to work, but suffice it to say that I'm very happy to have the biggest part of my whole re-arrangement at my apartment over with :grin

So when can I drop by and check this new setup out?
