Style Update
As you may have already noticed the site has a new look to it. I decided to go with a single column theme which should better showcase the posts up-front and center while relegating the various extras to the bottom of the page.
An additional change is in the Gallery where the pictures are displayed using Lightbox, a very nifty mechanism to display the images without having to reload the entire page.
I’ve been testing and fixing the theme and other parts of the site for a little while now and believe that everything is working as it should, be that not the case please let me know about it so I can fix it.
Cheers
Death of HD DVD
The battle of the next-gen format between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray might be finally coming to an end. My XBOX 360 has the optional HD-DVD accessory and I chose not to get it for the fact that I don’t own that many movies and it sure would be a shame to buy either system until the format for the future was chosen for certain.
All the recent buzz and a article on eWeek seem to declare the demise of HD-DVD and Blu-Ray the chosen format. I wonder what this means to the XBOX 360.
I guess in this case early adopters of HD-DVD are the ones that will pay dearly to not only abandon their current HD-DVD players but potentially pick up a Blu-Ray player or PS3?

Turns out that Toshiba decided to waive the white flag on HD DVD officially. All early Blu-Ray adopters now get to walk around with their nose held high and tongue sticking out at anyone who’d question their Next-gen HD choice. I guess Sony’s choice to bundle the Playstation 3 with Blu-Ray players was a smart idea after all.

Oh So Close
I have no doubt that by now virtually everyone, football fan or not, has heard of the outcome of Super Bowl XLII and I will not rehash the details. It is, however, very disappointing to see the Patriots manage to get through the regular season and the playoffs with a small handful of scares and then be completely torn apart by the Giants.
The Giants defensive line and linebackers had the Pats O-line scratching their head from the beginning. What alarmed me was the fact that after the long (and boring, might I add) halftime break, Bill Belichick and the O-line could come up with nothing to stop or even slow down the pass rush that made the passing game entirely impotent.
