Good Weekend; New Gizmo

The annual Super Bowl bash went well this year. We had seven people, not too big, but an improvement on recent years. A good time was had by all, and it was a good game.

I made one of those spur of the moment impulse decisions today and picked up something new for the house. It's a digital video recorder (DVR) from my cable company. This joker's got fifty hours of record time, it can record two programs on two different channels at the same time, and it accesses the HD channels the cable comapny delivers. I don't have an HD set, but they still show as widescreen (letterboxed) channels on my TV. It's really cool.
