June is only a month away: Save for a new HDTV

It's a little more than a month until Father's Day and (maybe) graduation, but it's time to start saving up for the HDTV....  cuz damn they're expensive.  At least it's time to start thinking about the conversion date.  In 2009, you'll need a new television if you want to grab program reception out of the air with an antenna (not with a dish).

Westinghouse is offering a bunch of new displays...

Dads and grads will love the stunning picture quality in full 1920x1080 resolution. The ultra-fast response times and full suite of connectors make the TX Series the ultimate display for any gaming center or console. Pricing is as follows: The 42” TX-42F430S LCD HDTV is $1,199 MSRP; the 47” TX-47F430S LCD HDTV is $1,599 MSRP; and the 52” TX-52F480S LCD HDTV is $2,499 MSRP.

Tweetle Beetle Battle

When beetles
fight these battles
in a bottle
with their paddles
and the bottle's
on a poodle
and the poodle's
eating noodles . . .

. . . they call this
a muddle puddle
tweetle poodle
beetle noodle
bottle paddle battle.

If it's not a tweetle beetle battle...
then it's possible that it's a REMOTE CONTROL BEETLE BATTLE!

This faux wooden stump is the arena for the beetle battle. You can use it to store batteries and any obstacles you want to throw in the way of your two fighters to change up the layout of the melee.

Pick your champion and have at it...

Marantz Digital Recorder

Marantz Professional has developed the PMD620: A small, but mega powerful recorder.

The PMD620 is Marantz Professional's newest and smallest handheld portable recorder — it fits easily in a hand or in a pocket but packs quite a punch for its size. The PMD620 offers direct-to-MP3 recording in three quality levels, as well as fully uncompressed, CD-quality 44.1/48 kHz WAV format in 16 or 24-bit resolution, allowing the user to configure the PMD620 for a wide variety of applications, from extended-length voice recordings to high-quality music applications.

Sound quality is enhanced by the inclusion of two condenser microphones on the PMD620, as well as line and external mic inputs, and an external mic output.

This all goes to a SD card, you can transfer the data directly to your computer through its USB2 connection.
