Today I joined the legions of those whose televisions require not two but four letters to appropriately form their acronyms: HDTV. While the picture is sharper and the channels are more numerous, what I find myself most pleased with is the fact that I was able to hook the thing up to the new DVR cable box, the DVD player and the surround sound system myself.

I think it is also worthy of note that thanks to this new contraption, I have developed a sudden and I suspect intractable fear of sea turtles.
