Keeping the Cable Away

There is a thirty inch wide screen HD television set sitting in my livingroom. It's pretty nice. So what do I watch on it? DVDs. Just DVDs. There was an experiment to build a PC for gaming on it, but that didn't work out and the box went off to a friend of mine.

It's been at least three years since I've watched "live" television. Every now and then, there's an opportunity to watch it somewhere else. It seems to have gotten worse if the Xterra Challenge is anything to go by. The Nissan Xterra is an uglier version of the Pathfinder. Choppy camera work, jerky motions, and sound bite after sound bite. As our intrepid athletes did their thing, there would be a Nissan parked right up against the course and the English accented announcer would be mentioning "Xterra" every ten seconds.

Think the cable's gonna stay unconnected for the fore-seeable future.

Besides, I already have a rather ugly Subby Baja.
