Yeah, the VHS Obit came up in today's meeting about digital media collections... the consensus seemed to be "the machine at home collects dust most of the time but professionally, it's not going away anytime soon."
As for commercial TV collections, I remember the BtVS ones but never bought them. Hub bought a bunch of anime series back in the day that were
quite
expensive by comparison to US series; we're haphazardly replacing them with DVDs, and the space savings over 8 or 10 tapes is a new and exciting wonder every time.
The VCR gets used most for taping unexpectedly cool TV shows on Discovery and History and the like that we're not going to pay $20 bucks for.
I'm interested by the idea that VHS tape is going to stay around professionally. Isn't digital capable of better and more predictable quality?
For god's sake, can someone do my laundry?
yes. And I'd totally do it for you. Except, I'm still bedridden. Sorry.
I love the sparrow/hawk story. That's so... perfect.
The pros are concerned about Cylon infiltration of their computer systems.
Actually, by 'pros' do you mean people who produce videos? Broadcasters?
ita, I thought you'd get a kick out of some pictures. It's my old boss taking down an opponent during what's called the Madtown Throwdown. Cycle though to the 6th thru 8th pictures, he's the scrawny dude in the cammo shorts.

Those MMA guys are crazy, Sail. Good on your old boss!
Heh. He fights for a living, kinda. He's in charge of a combatives training program for the Army. It always surprises me when I think of what he does, because he's just not that physically imposing. But I guess most of it is technique and skill, not muscles and physique.
