Toshiba HD

Has anyone else made the jump to HD TV?  Personally, I’ve never looked back since I bought my LCD TV a few years ago, but now I’m on the fence on what kind of HD player to purchase.  I had made my mind up on HD-DVDs, but now that Toshiba has dropped out of the game, that idea is shot.  Now my only choices are Blu-Ray DVD and write checks directly to Sony.

Also, have you noticed how active in the HD market Toshiba is getting now, creating specialized products?  Apparently Toshiba now holds the title for world’s smallest HD camera, the IK-HD1 weighs less than 2.3 ounces.  It’s expensive too, good thing I already purchased my Canon HD10.

Going Down In Flames…says it best.

Watt’s Up With That has a great article detailing the frailty of the latest global warming bill trying to get passed as legislature.  David has a number of good points on how there are reasons NOT to pass this bill, because there are yet too many questions still left unanswered.  Personally, I subscribe to the ‘Global Warming is the greatest hoax ever played on mankind’ theory, but I’m a nut job.

How could we, as a human race, be so absolutely full of ourselves to think that we could effect climate?  Has the Earth not proven over and over that we have no control over her, one way or another.  Families still die in Tornadoes, Hurricanes still destroy cities, and earth quakes still level countries…we can’t stop it.  Climate is just another factor that we can’t get our hands around and change one way or another, it will do what it wants until the end.

Meanwhile, our government is trying to pass more laws to punish those that wish to profit in this capitalist market.  The liberals are trying to tax something else and Al Gore is just trying to remain in the lime light, or any light for that matter.  It damn near frustrates me to no end.
