    Phil forwarded a link to this video today.  I thought it was great!

  • Barnes and Noble Nook

    Caveat:  I have not tried the Nook.  The information below is from information I received at the store or online. You may know by now that I have been resistant to adopting the electronic readers (oddly enough for someone who loves new technology). You also probably know that I love to read (see TracyReaderDad.com)  and, to me,…

  • Moving a WordPress Blog

    Now that you are here, please BOOKMARK this location as all NEW blog entries will be here.  🙂 Quick update: My TracyReaderDad.com blog on Yahoo Hosting has been having problems the past two days.  Can’t get to it.  Yahoo support is working on it, but, so far no long term success.   If they can’t…

  • VUDU Integrates Technology

      Rating:  5 WaterTowers (awesome integration of technologies in the home) What is VUDU? VUDU is a device that uses peer-to-peer video streaming to deliver high definition (or standard definition) movies to your TV via the Internet.

  • VUDU Price Reduced

    If you have not read my VUDU Review blog, now may be a good time.   The basic VUDU unit (good enuf for me) is now selling for $149.00.   Watching movies downloaded from the Internet has never been so easy and so enjoyable.  I gave VUDU 5 WaterTowers a year ago and only recently…

      OK, here it comes.  The battle for streaming movies over the Internet has taken the turn that I have been waiting for. This article on CBS tells us that LG will embed a streaming player in HDTV sets.  No additional box will be needed.  How quickly this is happening! I have been covering this exciting…

  • Sony Blu-Ray Player Review

    Rating:  4 WaterTowers For Christmas this year before we run out of money (remember starving blogger and substitute teacher) my wife gave me a Sony Blu Ray player. Prices have come down and apparently she got a really good deal at Best Buy in Tracy, CA.  She also purchased a few movies to watch (Batman,…

  • Internet Movies and Blu Ray

    I’ve been thinking.   A very dangerous thing, I know.  But I was wondering how the likes of VUDU (see my review), AppleTV, the Blockbuster (see my blog entry) and NetFlix (see my blog entry)  streaming video players will effect (hmmm, is that right?  effect, affect?) the life of Blu-Ray.   A few weeks ago,…

    Comcast HDTV Cable Box Installation

      As many of you know, I had a cable card installed in my Sony HDTV. That card has given me very good service for the past 4 years, but, in the past year or so, I have periodically lost signal to many stations we watch. To get those stations back, I have to call…
