I just stumbled across an article on boston.com about replacing incandescent light bulbs with LEDs. They eat much less power, they don’t put off heat (those two go hand in hand), and they could save us a tremendous amount of power. I also like the light they produce, unlike flourescent lights. Too bad they’re still so expensive.
Mandy’s back from her conference and she’s completely wiped out, so she headed to bed early tonight. I sat on the couch for a while and starting poking through the channel guide on our fancy new digital cable box. I thought I’d poke around and find the music stations that are supposed to be on there someplace (found ’em in the 800+ range), but in the process, I stumbled onto something I didn’t expect. PBS (channel 13 to be exact) in HD! I’d been hoping to see PBS in HD, but when I signed up for the HD service, I was told only four stations were offered. Well, up in the 700’s, I found PBS in HD. They had on a show on gardens in the south and the picture and sound were brilliant! I’m really happy I found this tasty new station…
Also, HBO in HD is well worth it. The movies look fantastic.
Go spelunking around in NMock. There is some seriously crazy code in there. Dynamic creation of an implmentation of an existing type to support mocking. Good lord.
