08:34 RT @darthvader: Dear Egypt: Impressive, but I personally would have gone with the reactor shaft. #egypt [Naw, too showy.]
08:35 RT @paulandstorm: [S] Imagine that: regime change for less than 3 trillion dollars. [Like a Dollar Menu for revolution.]
09:33 Dead TV saga is at an end. Old set gone, new set up and running. Two connections (one for power) and done; I'm liking this future.

18:49 Tonight's discovery: Dr. Horrible looks and sounds amazing on Blu-Ray. The 40" HD doesn't hurt either.
19:25 @cabri It's pretty cool. Still, I'd be right there with you if my old set hadn't given up the ghost.
21:51 Am I missing something, or does Netflix Streaming not have much I'd want to watch? Gone through hundreds of titles without much luck.
