Oh Yeah, I joined the HD Revolution

10 03 2008

Yeah I forgot to mention my new TV back in January, but I have an excuse: Everything was going horrible with my old PC. But now that that’s fixed I decided I should post a little bit of info about my TV and how everything’s going so far. Reason? I need filler content. So here we go: I bought a Vizio 32-inch LCD HDTV back in January to replace my dying 20" RCA TruFlat, that had been giving me a lot of trouble since october. Well it’s been an interesting ride with Vizio to say the least. I’ve had 2 return it twice: the first 2 TVs developed a nice problem with the LCD panel being loose, and the second one had a faulty backlight. Well I got my 3rd one out of a new shipment so I was praying that this one wouldn’t be faulty, and that little bit of hope worked: The TV is perfect. The picture quality’s amazing and it makes my 360 games look just amazing. The sound quality’s not so great but that’s why I have the Sony surround system. It’s a great TV for the price ($629.99, but it went on sale for $600 after I bought it, and circuit city’s price-matching gave me the 30 bucks back). I didn’t really know what to expect with Vizio since I hadn’t really heard of them until like a day before I bought the TV, but they make great TVs for the price. I’m pretty sure my experience with the first two was just a very bad shipment of ‘em, Since I haven’t heard any complaints like that happened before. So would I buy another one of these? Hell yes. And now pics (because I can.):

So I got one of those newfangled iPods…

5 03 2008

Yup, I got an iPod Shuffle today. Why you may ask? Well it starts like this, Last week when I was listening to music in the kitchen I managed to knock over my glass of water and the dock port for my Zune got a little wet and as with most electronic devices that get wet: It decided to stop working. Well when it wouldn’t sync the next day after drying out I decided to ask my sister if I could borrow her shuffle; She said I could have it since she never used it. Well I got to liking the shuffle over the next week, and Then I found out my Zune worked again (just needed to dry out a bit more, works 100% now). Well when she found out my Zune worked again, she (for reasons unknown to me) wanted her Shuffle back. This kinda sucked because the shuffle’s perfect for when I’m walking chastity or when I’m at school or work, Since I don’t like taking the Zune to either place for fear of it getting stolen. So while my Mom and I were out at circuit city today (shopping for printers for her and a router for me). Well mom got her printer and there was a $50 discount, so she decided to buy me a Shuffle as an early Easter gift-a-majig, so that’s how I got it.

Interesting story, no? Anyway I love the little thing so yeah I’m pretty happy right now. And like always with new new stuff I’ve gotten well, when possible): Pics!

New Computer!

4 03 2008

So yeah I finally built my new PC, and it’s fairly shiny spec-wise: 1.8ghz Pentium Dual-Core, 2gb DDR2-800 Ram, 512mb GeForce 8600GT, Windows Vista Business (thank you Andy ^_^), then there’s the basic stuff: DVD burner, 120gb hard drive (yeah I need more space), and such. It’s a big improvement over my last desktop, which was just getting to be too slow for what I needed it for. So now it’s time for pics!
