So here we are, the year 2009, somewhere past the cusp of the "digital revolution." We've got the internets pulsing through the air, phones that blast the "Knight Rider" theme with every call, computers that make HAL 9000 look like watch calculator, and analog televisions going the way of the Coelacanth. That's right, the coelacanth. That prehistoric fish that should be extinct, but just keeps on going somehow.
Well, my roommate and I have one of these fossils in our possession. Not a coelacanth actually, but at the heart of our beloved "technology corner" is a dinosaur 27-inch tube television that's probably older, bulkier, and heavier than my 12 year-old brother. The screen reflects a lot, the picture is way too dark (even with 'Brightness' at max), one side has a reddish cast, it doesn't have enough inputs, and it's analog.
Our quest is to replace (with your help) our old, crappy, television with an awesome HDTV. You can follow our journey here on this blog.
Stay tuned…
