Station in the Mentos

Jan 18, 2007 ramblings, tunes

I’m very slowly creating an album entitled "Station in the Mentos," and track #4 was just created tonight. Go check it out:Station in the Mentos

So, what exactly is the big deal with Grey’s Anatomy? I keep hearing raves about it, but I’ve been giving it a shot tonight, and the writing is… well, not awful, but uninspired at best. I’ve also heard it described as a guilty pleasure, but I don’t see where the pleasure enters into it. Even though House has degraded a bit this season, the writing is still 20 times better. Anyone want to tell me what the heck the draw is here?

Sure the XBox 360 has been out a year longer than the other two, but the numbers are still interesting:

At first glance, it seems as if game innovation may actually be beating out making old games prettier.

The above graphics are supposedly updated once per minute with the latest sales figures. When I first posted them, they looked like this:

That sounds painful.

Get a VHS/DVD Combo Deck

Oct 30, 2006 ramblings

I was trying to transfer my VHSes to DVD the manual, digitize and burn way, because I’m a control freak, and I want nice DVDs with pretty menus and edited-out commercials. But, I finally got one of the Panasonic combo VHS/DVD decks, and it does a great job. Sure the menus aren’t as pretty, but at least they’re digital, and if I ever want to go back and make pretty DVDs, it’s pretty easy to rip, edit and re-burn on my Mac.

If you want to get it done fast, a combo deck is the way to go. The Pannys even let you specify how long to record for, and then it will auto-stop and finalize the disc for you—so you can go do something productive while it dubs.
