Experiment

I'm addicted to PCW. (You should be, too.) Consequently, in an effort to be more like M, D, and A—and to maintain sanity via reestablishing contact with my inner nerd—here I am with what I hope will become a near-daily record of what I learned about the world today.

To catch up a little, here's something I learned last night: When it comes to choosing between HD DVD and Blu-Ray, don't. That seems to be the popular wisdom, anyway. I found this out because I bought an HD DVD player (a replacement impulse buy for...well, you'll have to wait and see what for) and then did my research. Fortunately, I haven't opened it yet.

Here's something I learned this morning: Those weird vertical lines of dots that have been blemishing my pretty, pretty Wii display are apparently due to a flawed GPU. That's somewhat good news, at least in that now I know I can send it in for a repair and it's not just my problem.

Comcast will apparently soon install TiVo software onto Motorola cable boxen, if you ask for it. Someone please remind me to do this (A.)!
