A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The Blu-Ray player has several audio out capabilities.

Ahh, ok. I don't have a Blu-Ray player, so that didn't occur to me.

Anyway, I'd go and get a small receiver/amp. You can attach the iPod directly to it via an adapter cable from Radio Shack.

Our wings are not tired.

Thanks, yeah, like I wrote above, I've been connecting the iPod to my stereo for years.

As a DIY alternative, check this out: DIY kitchen computer

That's also cool! Though, I must confess, I can't imagine giving up any cupboard space. Heck, we just blocked a window to put in more storage space.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A few years ago, LG sold an Internet refrigerator, but it looks like they don't make them any more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I guess we're not living in the future anymore....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't imagine giving up any cupboard space.

They should have them flip down from the bottom of cupboards. At least in my kitchen--all the cupboards are set so high I could totally read recipes at that height very easily.

That would be awesome. I think there's a TV/DVD combo unit out there that is designed to do just that.

Java, we have this home theatre system in our bedroom

and it's been really good. It actually has three HDMI inputs so you can route the Blu-Ray player through it and then just have the one HDMI cable running to the TV. Sony make an iPod dock that you can use with it as well. I also have ours set up with an Airport Express behind it and I use that to get the net connection to the Blu Ray player, as well as using the digital audio output from the airport express to give me iTunes on the bedroom setup.

Cool! I will take a look when back on laptop, ND.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
