Permalink to this day Friday, May 14, 2004

Today I told our GPM (group program manager (my manager's manager)) that if he gave me a Media Center Extender then I'd go out and buy a TV for it and use it (note that I still haven't bought a TV for the living room yet). No sooner were the words out of my mouth then I was handed one. So now I'm in the market for a cheap TV. Though I'd prefer to find a 10"-15" LCD monitor with S-video/rca/component video in. Has anyone seen one of those cheap? I.e. <$250 (it does not need to have a TV tuner in it).

I'm going to set it up in my bedroom and it will my replace my iPod for listening to music. It'll also enable me to watch live TV, act as a digital photo album, and allow me to watch videos/record TV.

And yes, once I have it setup and have a real TV in my living room, I'll invite everyone who is interested over to check out the setup.

Redman and I went to Ikea where I agonized over every decision. I ended up with two bed side tables, a lamp and a garbage can for my bedroom. For the bathroom I got us a toilet brush and a garbage can. For the living room I got us a side table but I don't think it fits in with our look (but it was only $10) and speaker stands. I still need lots of stuff. I.e. a dining room table and chairs. Currently our dining room is our garage and is home to two bikes.
