Random Thursday: Spreading jam on the toast of life
Sorry; I don’t know what the post title means either. Howdy, buckaroos, and happy Thursday to you. Today is, of course, International Bow Day, so feel free to take a bow, look for a [rain]bow, grab a bow (arrows are optional), and hye thyself to the nearest boat bow. Oh, and today is also when… Continue reading Random Thursday: Spreading jam on the toast of life
Ambient Bias Lighting for Your TV: A Review of the Halo
So, I’m kind of a sucker for Best Buy‘s Deal of the Day. It’s not so much that the prices are that low — although sometimes, for some items, they really are — but they often draw my attention to products that I might not ever consider buying, or even know about. I’ve been known… Continue reading Ambient Bias Lighting for Your TV: A Review of the Halo
Tivo Problemo
One of our Tivos (Tivoes? Tivii?) went out last night, right in the middle of an episode of iZombie on Netflix. One second we were watching Liv feast on a delectable dish of brains au gratin, and the next we saw that ridiculous Tivo emoji-guy and the dreaded “One moment while Tivo restarts” message.

If this sounds like fun, you must be a geek,… Continue reading Filling the Dance Gap
A Moving Experience at Church
Have you ever visited the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas? It’s a spectacular indoor setting mimicking the watery “streets” of Venice, complete with singing gondoliers. I’ve never been to Italy, but I’m sure it’s exactly like this except for the Harley Davidson store and Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs, but with… Continue reading A Moving Experience at Church
Ask and Ye Shall Receiver, or Not
Have I mentioned that we got a new A/V receiver a couple of months ago? Astute Gazette readers may recall this tragic post in which I documented our tragic inability to watch 3D movies at home because of our tragically old-and-busted equipment (which was really neither, but technology is a harsh mistress). It’s a Pioneer… Continue reading Ask and Ye Shall Receiver, or Not
Make Your Yard Art a TV Star!
One of the fun things about blogging is that you never know who’s going to show up. This email appeared in my inbox earlier this week: Hi Eric… Let me start by congratulating you the ‘Fire Ant Gazette’…I’ve been enjoying not only the pics, but your descriptions are quite comical…I really enjoy your writing style. … Continue reading Make Your Yard Art a TV Star!
