At the time of this posting, I have not yet been able to post the file which will enable you to download ALL sunriver photos in one click. That will be coming soon, hopefully later on today. There have been some problems uploading such large files. So for now, you can click the above image to be linked to the Flickr slideshow...enjoy!

NOTE: If you have a slow internet connection, clicking this link might be a faster way to view the photos.

Click the pic above to view the first day photos of my new Samsung PN58A550 Plasma TV. It's 58 inches, and the only thing I can really say is that you have to see the picture in person to fully appreciate the 1080p Full HD resolution. This is an upgrade from a 57" Hitachi Rear Projection TV and even though that was 1080i, the difference in color, contrast, and clarity is amazing. The biggest difference I noticed right off the bat was how clear logos are on the digital channels (i.e. the score ticker of an NBA game in HD, the digital cable's guide, and any HD commercial or show that uses digital graphics. I then watched some Blu-ray discs, like Pirates of the Caribbean, The Simpsons Movie, and a few more, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on the Playstation 3, and my MacBook Pro connected to the TV thru DVI-HDMI. The plasma is such a different technology from rear projection and it feels like a whole new kind of thing. I am so pleased, and the only downsides so far are the 150 pound weight and the easily attracted fingerprints, but you have to deal with those kinds of things with this kind of tech. Enjoy the photos, and here is a video of Pirates in 1080p, but my camera records a lot of digital noise so you won't be able to see anywhere near how clear the picture is.

This is an altered image from the Hubble Space Telescope showing the Spiral Galaxy M104, better known as the "Sumbrero Galaxy." It has been cleaned up to show the spiral arms of dust clouds getting sucked in to the center of the galaxy. Brownie points for the first person to leave a comment on this post who can tell me what is at the center of each Galaxy. The image below is the original image before the cleanup.

Well, after 22 years of living at the house in Foster City, CA we had to say goodbye. Its LA forever now. Well, at least until I can afford to buy it back someday. My immediate family lived there for about 25 years, and my grandpa had it built in 1968. It has housed us well and we all love it. Many memories make it what it is, and at least we will have those with us until we all get Alzheimer's. Anyway, here are a couple pics of us on our last day together at the house. Bye Eight Double O Meezy. 3411578 I love you! :(]]>chris@chrisbayol.comRandom2008-03-05T01:47:10-08:00http://www.wotay.com/files/8d88d1193c39b374cb9811221c636e81-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.wotay.com/files/8d88d1193c39b374cb9811221c636e81-3.html#unique-entry-id-3
