Added some new items

First, I got the Xbox 360 HD-DVD player right before the holidays. It's a nice addon. HD-DVD's look great on my setup. My only gripe is that it is having issues with DTS and the audio level is way off. Usually I'd watch a DVD at about -35 to -40dbs using the HD-DVD I have to watch it at -20dbs or higher I even cranked it all the way up to 0dbs and the sound was still horrible. This issue has been discussed over at the AVS boards.

Second, I got my hands on the Wii. Yep I got a Wii! It's very fun to play. I can tell you that you can lose weight playing with this thing. The first day I got it I was playing boxing for Wii sports and I was breaking a sweat and tiring after a few rounds. The next day I noticed my thighs hurting. I don't remember doing anything strenuos. Then it dawned on my that while I was boxing I was in the typical boxing stance with kneens bent and this is where the soreness came from. I've played boxing a tennis so far and love them both. I'll try the other later on.

Third, my palm is dying. I can't figure out for the life of me how to take care on this indoor plant. Yes my plants are real. I've just recently moved it into more sunlight to see if that will wake it up. What I'll try next is to change the soil. Maybe it's too home in my house. I don't know I'll figure it out.

More pics to come shortly.

My speaker stands

I've been getting emails asking what my stands are and where I purchaced them. My stands are made by Bello.

SP-200

Heavy duty metal speaker stands.
Velcro strips included for mounting speakers.
Wire management.
Spikes and rubber feet included.

I got them about 3-4 years ago from I think was The Wiz (out of business). I love these stands. I've upgraded just about every other piece of my Home Theater at least once accept these. I'm even thinking about getting two more for my rare Klipsh's.
