Literary Allusions from the TV Show "Lost." I was starting to dig into the allusion of "Our Mutual Friend" from Dickens when I recalled a mention of "Turn of the Screw" as well. Turns out there are many interesting references in the show.

A collection of essay on TV's "The Wire." It's one of the best series I've ever seen, assuming you can tolerate highly realistic violence, loads of drugs, and extremely harsh language. The show pulls no punches.

I like the idea behind this tv easel stand but as any theater buff knows, getting the angle right is an important consideration. It doesn't look to me that this tv stand will be able to get the tv perpendicular to line of site from a couch.

Great comparison between Apple TV, Blu-Ray, HD Cable and DVD with some surprising results.

The Giants/Pats game this weekend should be huge. Now that they're going to simulcast on NBC and CBS, it will be ginormous.
Quoted: After weeks of insisting they wouldn't cave in, NFL officials did just that Wednesday. Now all of America can see the Patriots' shot at history.

Quoted: DVRs, such as the ubiquitous TiVo and even those nameless boxes that many cable companies provide, have changed the way we record and watch TV. While they do a great job of time-shifting your favorite TV programs, DVRs either tether you to your TV or require extracting and converting content for other uses. But with a Mac-based DVR and a little know-how, you can watch shows on your beautiful Apple Cinema Display.

I searched for this program on TV and haven't been able to find it running anytime soon. There's a nice introductory video on this page though.
"Saved by the Wrecking Ball" is the controversial story of Mies Van Der Rohe's Farnsworth House.

You must be Eric's friend before you can comment on this Fave.Ah yes, it appeals to the thinking man's tv watchin'. I am reminded of the recent episode of the Middle Man which featured an homage to the 20th century classic film -- Die Hard. The episode included references such as the "Nakatomi" protocol, Beethoven's Ode to Joy - the central musical conceit of the film, and Dubby uttering John McClane's timeless and familiar phrase, "Now I have a machine gun. HO HO HO".
