This just in...T.O. is pretty good

So, if you were like me on Sunday, you were sitting right there on your couch watching the Patriots vs. the Eagles in some known as "the big game". I really wasn't rooting for either team but rather just wanted to see a good game. Neither team disappointed in this regard.

Terrell Owens was definitely impressive. Coming back from the injury he suffered at the hands of Roy Wiliams (Dallas Cowboys), during the regular season, in just a mere 7 weeks was no less than spectacular. And then to have the game he had...9 catches for 122...WOW!

At the end of the game, the Eagles had a chance to tie the score at 24 and send it to overtime...oh, wait...no they didn't...you have to have good clock management for that. In the last half of the 4^th quarter, it was blatantly obvious which team had been there before. Donovan McNabb looked flustered after throwing the second the last interception with 5+ minutes remaining on the clock. You just can't make mistakes against that Patriots team.

All-in-all though...it was a good game.

The commercials...well, that was a different story. They were pretty lackluster. If you missed them, you can catch them here.

Vegas/CES 2005 Recap Part 2: AMOLED

So, after hearing the constant complaints about the lack of blog postings, I have decided to take a different approach to the whole Vegas recap. I was hoping to get some time to write just a few posts that would cover the whole experience. But since I hardly ever find the necessary free time, I am now just going to make shorter posts which may just cover one thing.

So...to start things off, I will talk about the best of CES. The coolest (and definitely practical) item that I saw at CES was the AMOLED screen made by L.G. Philips (a joint venture between L.G. Electronics and Philips Electronics). AMOLED is an acronym for Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode. At 20.1", it's the largest OLED screen produced (or at least publicly debuted) to date. It was quite impressive. The viewing angle was listed at 170 degrees...with no loss of brightness or degradation of picture quality. It was stunningly thin and had a brightness level that was actually too high but this was probably done as a proof of concept. Here are some pics...






Just look how thin that thing is. Imagine hanging something like that on your wall. Is it time to say goodbye to large TVs? Well, maybe not just yet. We asked how long it would be before we saw these things in stores. Answer: 10 years. I'm not sure I really believe that estimate (I think probably more like 5 years).
