Note About My Reviews

When I review a product it’s based on personal experience after buying the product either for a client or myself.  I don’t do “reference reviews” where the reviewer places the product next to a bunch of similar ones and runs a series of calibration tests to see which offers the best pure performance.  There are… Read More Note About My Reviews

How does a techie-filmmaker-magician pop the big question?

How do you surprise someone who wants to be surprised?   That’s the problem I faced proposing to my girlfriend.  If I did anything out of the ordinary, she’d be suspicious. I knew I wanted to do it around New Year’s — which would give us enough time to have a summer wedding — but as… Read More How does a techie-filmmaker-magician pop the big question?

Is à la carte cable really the answer?

What most cable channels charge to be carried

There’s a growing demand for “à la carte” cable pricing — i.e. the ability to pick and choose just the individual channels you want. After all, why pay for stuff you aren’t using?  Paying only for the TV that you plan to consume makes sense.  More choice and lower bills?  Sign me up!  Right? There’s… Read More Is à la carte cable really the answer?

Sony’s Google TV remote is a handful. Literally. And not in a good way.

Sony's Google remote has way too many buttons

I tried out Sony’s Google TV solution at a Sony store today.  No, make that:  I tried to try out Sony’s Google TV solution.   I wanted to write a quick post today about my first thoughts on it, but I can’t, because I spent more time trying to figure out the darned remote than… Read More Sony’s Google TV remote is a handful.

Cable Boxes are Evil

From 1950 to 1980, watching TV was super easy: All you had to do was remember what time your favorite shows would be on and then turn a knob to tune in.  So simple.  The process required less than 0.0000001% of your brain power, freeing America to do some pretty cool things during that time… Read More Cable Boxes are Evil
