That plasma TV is in SF, so it would not qualify for M4KHO membership. And having been burned in the past, I ain't buying a TV with no content and an uncertain path to getting any.
Not sure why this one struck me the way it did, but RIP to Haruo Nakajima, the actor who played Godzilla in the original 1954 movie.....(and multiple times thereafter)

Went out to Guerneville for lunch and a sedate paddle on the Russian River. It was the last day of "Lazy Bear Week" and there were still plenty of strapping, hirsute gentlemen in evidence and drinking bellinis at the Big Bottom Market. (Though I assume many of them are actually big tops.)
Strangest thing. After spending thirty minutes screwing around and resetting to factory settings and then posting, the screen clicked and is back to a beautiful picture. Wishes do come true.
maybe not the best suggestion based on the aesthetic bar weiss is setting, but the ayre codex seems to be pretty good, just a bit skimpy on the features
Apparently they're also coming out with a QX-8 with a bunch of bells and whistles including streaming functionality if that's your thing http://www.theaudiobeat.com/highend2017/highend2017_ayre.htm
Didn't get the job. I was brought in last week for a first in-person interview, and they hired somebody yesterday, so I'd say that they already had somebody chosen, and were just wasting everybody's (theirs and mine) time due to organizational rules. This would have been an exceptional fit, and I honestly thought the phone call was going to be setting up an interview for the next round.
