For those of you that are looking for faith...

Well the title says it all. May you find the comfort you have been looking for with The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! This site is pure comedy. It came about when the Kansas school boards were arguing about teaching evolution and religion in the classroom. The creator of this site decided to mock the hell out of them by demanding that if they will teach those topics, they also must teach the ways of "Pastafarianism". This site is fantastic, but lots of people are offended by it as well. In my opinion if this pisses you off, you need to shut you stupid mouth because you are dumb. Also there have been Spaghetti monster experiences captured on film and can be found all over the internet.This site was also mentioned in a recent episode of South Park. Enjoy!

DIGG!! All the News you can handle

I get lots of content off of digg.com. If you are not familiar with digg, you should be. Its a site where people come to share the news that they have found out and depending on what people think about,they can "dig" it or "bury"it if they choose. The more "digs" the higher rating the story will get, so topics that draw the most interest are the easiest to spot. There are also some GREAT features which are really cool ways of watching the way that the system works. Under the Digg Labs link you can choose to watch it in Swarm or Stack. They are very difficult to describe so check them out. This site is FULL of awesome stuff, so stay with it and really see what it has to offer. Becoming a member is free as well, who dosnt love free....come on!
Its a simple idea that Kevin Rose and friends have turned into a internet phenomenon that should not be over-looked by anyone.

REVIEW: SAMSUNG Black 32" 16:9 8ms Wide HDTV LCD with Integrated ATSC Tuner Model LNS3251D



Well here is the newest toy in my collection I have had it for a few days now and feel like I have sufficiently played with every feature that the TV has to offer.

There is one main reason that I decided to purchase this TV over my 22” Flat screen (not flat panel) CRT. I need to join the legions of people already well into the HD universe, I cannot be left behind any longer.

I had never really experienced true HD till I visited a friend with a television very similar to the one currently being reviewed. After seeing what true High Def looks like, and then switching back to normal TV it is...heart breaking. While visiting my friend we spent countless hours playing X Box 360 on his Sony HD TV and I was shocked. No ghosting, brighter colors, faster refresh rates and a list of improvements over CRT television that goes on and on. That was it, I couldn't go back, at this point it was only forward into the future of televisions for me. My mission was to find the best HD television on the market for the average Joe like you and me.

I think Best Buy Employees knew me by name after the first two weeks of me walking in and out of the TV section and harassing every salesman on the floor about the differences between Plasma and LCD or A/V vs. HDMI. I was able to round the selection down to a few televisions in the right price range. It was down to the SONY my friend had, the Samsung being reviewed and LG's comparable model. After tons of research by both picking the brains of the employees in stores and surfing the web to see every possible review it came down the the Samsung. Now its off to find the best pricing.

My colleagues and I search in every imaginable tech store you could go to and almost every where the price was $1599, which is pretty high for the size of the television compared to others of similar style and quality. The LG which was a close second choice was a good $200 cheaper. Finally the searching payed off on line. The price would fluctuate between $1699 and $1199. Newegg.com was the lowest price around. Now my search was over and my new TV was in the mail.

The doorbell rang in the middle of cooking dinner and everything in a 5 foot vicinity of me when flying when I heard the deep rumble of the UPS delivery truck. It was here. I reemerged into my spaghetti sauce covered apartment and immediately began tearing open the box.

The insulation on the box was weak at best so be careful when handling this product if you receive it via a parcel service, make sure you don't accept a damaged product. Lucky this one was in pristine condition. The setup was a piece of cake besides mounting the swivel base TV stand, it is a two person job. The back of the TV was clearly labeled with 2 A/V ins, coaxial cable in, audio ins, and outs, VGA inputs and all the other fancy accessories. Very simple to setup and understand, even for people that are not to tech savvy.

Pushing the power button started the TV up after a small warm up cycle and brought up the setup menu. Again very easy to navigate and find what you where looking for. The remote was no different it was well thought out in the design process. So far no complaints everything is what I had expected.

With the good comes the bad though. Not much but enough to make one main gripe. After looking at the TV you will notice that you can't see the speakers on the front of the screen. They are well “hidden” in the bottom of the screen. The only Problem is that when you bury speakers that are already small to begin with behind a sheet of plastic thing start to sound weak. Some pitches will be audible at any level while others are very difficult to hear at any level. It leaves you feeling like you can never find that perfect volume. Its fair to say that if you are looking for an amazing audio experience you will need a separate sound system, if thats not in your price range i would suggest looking elsewhere for your entertainment needs.

When Push comes to shove I would say that this is a pretty great TV, the colors are the brightest out, it offers every imaginable hook up on the backside, has a very sharp design and its an easy setup process. If it wasnt for the weak sound setup I would say that this is the best HD TV on the market in the 27”-37” range. There are cheaper alternatives out there, so make sure you look around first, with so many choices there is a “right” TV out there for everyone. With this Purchase I can definitally say that this is mine.
