My wife and I just installed shiny new 40" LCD flat screen HD television. Here are a few first impressions:
- There are moments of sheer stunning picture quality
- Set up is complicated, we went through multiple phone calls with the TV support line and with the cable company to get it working on HDMI, and in general I think I understand more than most people
- The HD universe of content is really small, we get about 10 channels in HD
- Now nothing is on in different ways - "Nothing on in HD" - "Nothing on regular TV"
- I already miss my Tivo, we went with the cable company DVR until the Series 3 Tivo drops a bit more in price
- I hooked my Mac Book Pro, made me glad we went with a 1080 set. Within a few minutes, we were watching movie trailer via Front Row. The quality was very good, I am more of a believer that the iTunes Store can sell HD tv content that will look great on this set

I just spent an hour or so creating a spreadsheet for my brother's baby pool in Google docs. I have to say it is pretty impressive. Again. like Vox, you must use Firefox instead of Apple's Safari. I was able to create a working spreadsheet and publish it to the internet, and for the most part I felt I was working in Excel on my local machine. There are a few things that I missed from Excel (like the pull a corner down to replicate values through cels feature), but that was pretty minor. You can see the spreadsheet here. Can the future really be on the network?
2007 - The years are really just clicking on by, aren't they? I can not believe that we are now 7 years into this decade and we still don't know what to call it. The Zeros? The 2000's? the Aughts? Anyway, Happy New Year. I resolve to post more often.
