I am having a fun time at this years end. Michelle and I totally revamped the living room with a couple of shelves and a tv stand thing from IKEA. It covers the whole back wall of our living room. Then we went out and bought a TV - a 50" Plasma TV ( Read more... )

What you need now is a Blu-ray player (Play Station 3's work great...) movies in HD are amazing too. Not that regular DVDs suck on a big screen.

If you want to stay active just workout while watching tv, I have a selection of hand weights ranging from 5 to 45lbs that I use, dvr'd tv shows are a perfect length.

Nice to hear things are going so well for your company! That's awesome to hear.

And if I still lived in Edmonton, I'd bring all my laundry to your house and do it in your new machines and watch your awesome TV while I waited for it to finish ;)

Get off the couch? Here is the solution:

Yes, I get VERY bored doing excersizing. The way around this is to get an eliptical machine or tread mill, put it in a different room (bedroom or whatever) and that gives you the excuse to buy another 50" plasma to keep you from being bored from exercising, but still getting "in shape".

It works. Trust me ;-)

The selling point on our (much smaller) HD TV for me was hockey and footbal in high def. It makes me super happy.

Glad you are enjoying the new TV.

I agree with the Blu-Ray player, Sony has a couple of good ones and the price has dropped quite a bit in the last month or so. It will no doubt come down even more after the holiday.

I hear Santa is bringing me the Blu-Ray player that I picked out, once that is in the in-wall cabling project starts and our TV gets wall mounted, good-bye to the nasty plastic costco shelves.

If you do decide on a Blu-Ray make sure you get on that will play regular DVDs and upconvert them to 1080p resolution. That way the DVDs you have now will also look considerably better than the current 480 rez.

I'm afraid I can't help you on the "Battle of the Bulge" as I'm battling my own bulge at the moment. :-)
