Having gotten home this afternoon, I’m watching my first HD content on my new TV. It is… sweet. After some basketball (Tech blowing a lead against Kansas, blah) and football (random bowls), we watched Millenium Actress- incredibly beautiful movie (the kind of anime I’d recommend to my mom) that looked great on the new tube. Yay. That killed way too much of the afternoon, though :)
My second big christmas gift to Krissa was a wine glass rack (like the ones that hang above most bars, where wine or nice beer glasses hang from their base) and a dozen glasses to go in it. Very well received- we drank the Opolo Roussanne we got over Thanksgiving out of the new glasses and were pleased by both the glasses and the wine :)
Nice christmas software story: my brother- “man, I saw this nifty little thing, it puts the temperature and a link to weather.com in the bar at the bottom of the screen. You guys should have that.” me: “we have, since 1999 or something.” dan: “cool.” My brother has very specialized cad/cam/imagery needs, so he’s not a candidate for switching yet, but I hope some day soon. We’ll see…
