My old friend, how could I have forgotten ye?

A pretty great day in Chicago Monday: 65 degrees and no precipitation. Nice. Thursday it's all supposed to come to a screeching halt as the high is only supposed to be 35. Ugh.

My picture of the day is an autographed photo from the Big Red Machine era in baseball: Tony Perez, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Pete Rose. Recently aquired on Ebay, I bought a frame and matting today and hung it up. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Red_Machine

It's another Learning Tuesday, so here we go:

My old friend Wikipedia has some good information about DLP, Plasma and LCD televisions. I bypassed the history portion and went to the pros and cons sections. Good stuff. I'm going to head out to a new Grand Appliances (on North Avenue) which is advertising a 50" Plasma, LCD and DLP. Hopefully they'll be physically sitting close to each other so I can compare them. Here are the links:

And where are all my readers? I expected a throng of comments on things from televisions to Christmas trees to my mysterious black paper. Are you all shopping online instead of visiting my blog? Can't really blame you.....buy me something nice!!
