TW made me go and buy a HDMI cable, too.
Oh, and Discovery is running a Planet Earth marathon tomorrow.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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

The guy I spoke with on the phone said that I could get an HDMI cable if I asked for one, so I did. But apparently he didn't know what he was talking about.
Planet Earth's good for testing levels!

It had to happen I guess. The color wheel on our TV was having problems and creating an irritating buzz. Housemate decided to fix it himself to avoid the $800 or so repair job. Result? We now have a brand-new, shiny, even more ridiculous, 52" LCD TV. I would so love to be in a place where, when I break my TV, I can just go out and spend $2000 on a new one.

Does any one have advice on wireless headsets for the pc?
Today I ruined my second headset and I've had it. I'm willing to spend some money on this considering how often I use my headset and how frustrated I am by constantly rolling over the cords and yanking out the cords.

I had no such luck this weekend - DH and I went to 4 electronics stores (2 Targets, Circuit City and PC Richards) and nobody had anything decent in stock. The guy at Target apologetically said "We have the Magnavox!" Um, thanks, but...no.
So next stop is to call J&R and see what they have in stock. If that doesn't pan out, I call my guy at B&H and see if he can extend our corporate rate to me as a personal favor.

Askye, does your computer have Bluetooth? I've used my old BT ear thingie to Skype talk.

I was going to say I don't think it does, but I searched for bluetooth and it seems it does.
So I could just use a BT ear thing to talk via skype?

I have done that with my Mac. You need to pair the computer with the headset, then in Skype, select it as your mic & speaker of choice.

How does that work with listening to music while using the headset for chatting?
