I’ve been researching flat panel TVs for over a year now and have teetered between LCD and Plasma, finally settling on the LCD technology for its wide viewing angle, improved black levels, and potential life span. I knew that if I was going to buy a TV I wanted it to have 120Hz processing, be at least 42inches in diagonal screen size, have more than 3 HMDI 1.3 ports, and have a beautiful picture to boot.

Sharp Aquos, Sony Bravia, and Samsung’s 650 series were all options I was considering. Until Samsung’s most recent 650 series, Sony had the nudge over all competitiors. Their TVs have been producing fantastic black levels and their de-judder processing was not perfect, but better than the rest. However, Samsung’s LN46A650 really grabbed my attention by its improvements from previous models, its cool red-tint frame, and all of its connections. CNET gave it a pretty high rating too with the Editor’s Choice Award (the score represents the 46inch and 52inch models).

It may not matter if Grovveshark is better than Pandora, as Pandora may be shutting their doors soon anyway. So if you’ve been enjoying free music at work from Pandora, learning about new bands, get ready to jump ship and check out this new offering.

Grooveshark allows you to receive suggested music based on your musical preferences, like Pandora, but you can also go back and listen to the song whenever you like. There’s also a very easy search interface allowing you to listen to whatever song you’d like, as long as it’s in its database of over 5 million songs.

Grooveshark seemed very easy to use, and its flash interface was attractive and clean. I’d highly recommend giving this free service a try while your treading water at work.

William Warren performing a hand stand on cliff, 4101 feet high overlooking the Shenandoah Valley.

I’m heading off for the day to hike Stony Man (Blue Ridge Mountains) with a fellow Wake Forest alumnus, William Warren. We haven’t hit the trails in a while, so we’re starting out with this shorter 3.7 mile trek.

Having moved several times, things that just don’t fit anymore get left behind. This included my old hiking shoes, so I’m searching this morning for the right pair. These look good, I guess.
