Okay, so I'm a home theater geek. I currently prefer watching crystal-clear Blu-Rays on my HDTV set at home to the frequently lousy projection (and terrible manners) at the multiplex. I have a large DVD collection, but have only acquired a handful of...

This week I had the pleasure to witness an important event in the lives of animals (and humans) in my community. The SPCA of Central Florida held a groundbreaking for the major expansion of their Seminole County (FL) shelter in Sanford. It took seven...

Do you receive your TV channels through a roof antenna, or rabbit ears? Is the TV at least a few years old? If so, you'll need a DTV converter box to see anything after February 17, 2009. My mother has never had cable or satellite TV, so she was...

That smile in my profile picture just felt phony today, so I changed it. After a long day of harrowing visits to multiple vet clinics, we had to say goodbye to Casey shortly after midnight. He had a long, happy life, but we were still not prepared to...

My wife and I have fostered many dogs over the past 3 years. Right now, we own 4 dogs (adopting Maddy, our most recent foster), and therefore can't legally have any more adult dogs in our house. I thought I'd share a few pictures of our past foster...

My friends know I am an avid Sirius Satellite Radio listener. I was thrilled to hear Roger McGuinn performing a stint as a Guest DJ for "Little Steven's Underground Garage" yesterday. "LSUG" is an offbeat rock channel, with an emphasis on cool, diverse...

As many of you know, Wendy Chioji is a good friend of most of the staff at GB. This week she said goodbye to Central Florida, retiring from TV news and growing bolder in her efforts to open a cycling center in Park City, Utah. Marc Middleton did a great...

It was a daunting task editing the RRonRs video. I wanted to capture the essence of Roger and Camilla's journey, and not "over-edit" the video, which would ruin the feel of the story. I hope I got it right. If you have no idea what I'm talking about,...

Anyone who's looked at my blogs (both of you) knows that I love baseball. The Mrs. and I just had to watch Field of Dreams last weekend to get ready. Normally I don't go for movies that are sappy, sentimental, and manipulative, but darn it, Field of...

It's official, HD-DVD is dead. I'm so relieved I went with Blu-Ray six months ago. It was not a decision I took lightly, since my mother still has about a hundred beta tapes at home. HD-DVD fans will likely get a good deal on existing stock of that...
