Information site for DVD recorders and players

December 14, 2006 by Tricia

I’ve just learned of a site that’s just been launched that I wish was around last year when we purchased our DVD recorder. The site is called DVD Recorders and Players Guide and it’s full of information on DVD players, DVD recorders, DVD combo record and player systems, DVD home cinema systems, DVD TV combo systems, DVD Video combos, HDMI Compatible DVD Players, Portable DVD Players, and Types of Blu-Ray Disc Players.

If you’ve been thinking of purchasing a DVD recorder or player and wanted to learn more about a specific model or do a comparison between brands and models this would be a great site to visit. As I said I wish we’d been able to visit this site last year when we were picking out a DVD recorder for our system. We ended up getting an LG DVD recorder and I’m not happy with how we ended up having to hook it up to our complex HD TV and home theater. The quality of play back is not great because of how we ended up hooking it up.

There’s also a whole section on the new blue ray Disc players where you could find information about this new type of DVD format and products such as the Samsung Blu-Ray Disc Player. I think that anyone who is thinking of purchasing one of these items for Christmas, or perhaps someone who’s just received on as a gift over the holidays would do well to read this site and learn more about the model of their choice.

Check out my House and Hugh Laurie blog

December 12, 2006 by Tricia

Just a reminder for all you Hugh Laurie fans. I’ve been hired to write a blog over at 451press and it’s all about the TV show HOUSE. I’m busy finding things to write, not just about the show but, about all of it’s main characters as well.

I know that there are a lot of Hugh Laurie fans out there and I’ve been busy loading the site with information on him and I’ll continue to do so. The latest interest post about Hugh Laurie is called “Hugh Laurie flashback” and it has a fantastically funny video of Laurie singing the song “Mystery” that he apparently wrote himself. Go watch it on WatchingHouse.com.

I know you guys are going to like that site as it develops.

A soon to be extinct Human form

November 25, 2006 by Tricia

One of the Canadian television shows that I enjoy watching is This hour has 22 minutes. Each week they do spoof of the top news stories and often put a uniquely Canadian spin on it.

The video below has a Canadian theme to it- but it’s about something that is happening all over North America, and possibly other parts of the world as well. The Canadian part is that it’s a spoof of a commercial that aired back in the 70’s called Hinter Land Who’s Who – put out by Environment Canada’s Wildlife Services. The 60 second commercials talked about Canadian Wildlife. I remember a lot of Hinter Land commercials about Loons, Owls, deer and Moose.

This one, however is a little bit different. It’s about a type of human that is slowly becoming extinct:

Make a Celebrity Turkey

November 24, 2006 by Tricia

So … my American friends, did you have a great Thanks Giving day? Did you stuff yourself with Turkey and other goodies? I bet you did.

Or were you one of the unlucky ones that had to work? As a nurse I often end up working on holidays and I know how that can just suck – especially if most of your relatives are out of town. You just can’t make it when that happens.

Well, whether you are sitting bloated with turkey in front of your computer, or all by yourself because you couldn’t celebrate the big day – I have a treat for you. Aren’t I nice?

You have to see this video that I just found. It’s a parody video of an Access Hollywood report describing how celebrities spend Thanks Giving and how to make a Turkey like a celebrity.



How did you like that one?

I’m up too late as usual

November 23, 2006 by Tricia

I’ve got to stop staying up at night. I end up watching the most horrible programs on late night TV. Silly cop shows on the comedy channels, that horrible show that I mentioned last week called Team Sanchez. Yuck. I have an HD TV and pretty much all the digital channels you can get but do you think I can find anything worth watching at two in the morning while I type away on the computer? Nope. Nothing. Nada. Ziltch.

Am I just being too picky or is there really nothing worth watching late at night?
