Sony KDL46X3100 46" LCD TV - It only just fits on our TV stand .. and when I say that, it hangs over each side by about 1" each side.
Sony PS3 + Bluray (bluetooth) Remote.
$10 HDMI cable from Ebay.
(In contrast to the $50/$120/$180/$240au fancy Gold/Titanium tipped, Super Dooper water repelling, time saving, rust preventing, abdominal toning, Slicing, Dicing HDMI cables sold in stores -> It's digital People!!! There is no shades of grey with digital, or those green tinges the sales people lie about, unless it's encoded in the source. It either works, or doesn't.)

Component Video Cable set for Wii.

New sensor Bar for Wii.
(the rabbit chewed through the thin connecting cable - at least that's the Sigot's excuse).

I love life...Yeah, I'm sad, but at the same time, I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness.

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

I am so glad that GWB's 8 year COD game is finally over.

The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body."

Bought a new hybrid golf club. I needed something to replace my inconsistent and misbehaving 4i. I bought a 25 degree Orlimar H830, but haven't had much time to practice with it. So far I am pushing it to the right too much, but I'm making very good contact with it...so I am hoping to learn how to aim it soon.

You're welcome Diane.

Hey Platinumsword, long time no see around here...you've been busy in the new HD forums I noticed.

Big push to the right was all I was hitting trying to make the pictures. I don't have a remote control, so I put the camera on a tripod, hit self-timer and had ten seconds to get back to the ball, and then try to time it so it caught my swing.

I have 7 or 8 pictures of this in varying stages of awkwardness. I'm just glad I don't have to watch my own swing very often.

I wish all my visits to RadioShack turned out like this:



Sony CyberShot DSC-S730 [low end 7.2 MP point & shoot, to augment my DSC-T33]

Philips universal remote [nothing fancy; replacing an old one from 8 years ago that's finally dying]

2x SanDisk 2 GB Memory Stick Pro Duo [1 for the S730, one for the T33]

2x TDK 50 spindle DVD+R [CMC MAG M01?]
1x TDK 25 spindle DVD-R [CMC MAG AM3?]

2x1GB A-Data DDR for the price of DDR2. Long live Socket939 .

Not that I notice the difference between 1 and 2 Gig., but I couldn't let that slip. One of the last chances before prices go up again. TwinMOS is closing shop this month and Elpida announced a rise soon. Vista didn't deliver the expected demand last year and stocks are slinking fast now.

Simple. Samsung SE-S204N. External DVD Writemaster, with LightScribe.
Nice. Faster than the Multi DVD in my Toshiba. Would have gone with a Toshiba internal with the same speed and LightScribe but the almost $300 price tag definitly turned me off. Works nicely with the upgrades already done to my Toshiba Duo, 1.6 to a 2.0, 2 gig ram to 4, 200gig SATA internal HD to a 320 + a 250 ext HD and a e-SATA Segate Pro 500 gig ext HD.

I need to get another gig too before it's too late, or maybe sell the 2x512MB OCZ Value (Winbond UTT) and get 2x1GB.

Bought the following last week:
XBOX 360 Elite (Got it on Tuesday I believe, still not hooked up as I promised myself to change and tidy up my livingroom before hooking it up).
Motorola F3 (Backup for my Nokia 6600 or N73).
Battery for my Nokia 6600 (Actually I got it about a week ago).
A64 X2 3600 S939 for my old rig (Before they're no longer available), I'll use it as a HTPC just need to get a new PSU, some more RAM and possibly a HD3850 or HD2600XT 256MB (AGP).
Some furniture for my TV (Should arrive next Wednesday), I thought about buying a TV but the furniture that came with it didn't match my Audio furniture, and I could hardly afford it

Maxell "Extreme" 48x CD-R [Ritek]

a few screen protectors for small electronic devices [mainly for my S730. T33's anti-glare coating is getting scratched off, so no need. ]

2 cans of compressed air [accidental; I meant to only get one. One of them is branded Memorex; with my luck, all I'll get is canned water, or it will spontaneously explode for being Memorex. ]


...and some other non-electronics related stuff.

Also pretty much got paid back for what I spent at RadioShack earlier this week.
