Finally Finishing Our Cord-Cutting Project
A couple years after cutting the cord, I finally fixed our flaky over-the-air TV and now have a reliable, free(ish) source for our nightly Jeopardy! habit. Hopefully this post can help anyone wanting to run their tuner on power-over-ethernet like I did.
“Lost Doctor Who and the Daleks episodes discovered in ‘ramshackle’ collection”
While the First Doctor was never my favorite, this is still very cool. I’d love to see these early episodes.
“I’ll take ‘beach reading’ for $1000, Ken”
Very cool! As a life-long viewer of Jeopardy! and a long-time follower of Snell’s, it’s fun to see those worlds cross over.
“Unseen Footage of Atari Battlezone Cabinet Production”
Very cool! I loved playing that game back when I was a kid. It’s really neat that the pictures and video footage of the production exist.
“The Splay is a Subpar Monitor but an Exciting Portable Projector”
The Splay seems interesting in that it packs up small, so that it would be easy to pack and transport safely, but big enough to be a useful display in the van. It’s pricey, and its bulk when set up means I’d really like to try one before thinking about purchasing one.
“The Sound of A Charlie Brown Christmas”
This is a lovely article about a beloved show and, in particular, the music that defined it.
