Finally, after all these years, I have entered the world of HD. Despite working with LCDs in the 40 or greater inch range on a professional basis for the last 4 years, my TV at home was a 10 year old Sony CRT in the 30 inch range. It was probably as deep as it was wide and incredibly heavy. Finally, we upgraded to a 46 inch Samsung LCD capable of displaying 1080P. As a result, more devices needed to be upgraded. The TiVo DT we had just wouldn’t cut it anymore, so a Premiere was ordered. As a result of this, the cable box is being replaced by a cable card and the IR repeater we used to connect the two is also going away.

Since it was the combined birthdays of my clone and me, a Playstation 3 was bought for us as a gift. This, of course, enabled the viewing of BluRay movies and displaced the dying DVD player. The Wii will remain, as it fills a different gaming niche, and the PS2 will also still be around, but will probably not get as much use as its newer sibling.

So far, I’m liking the convergence of it all – being able to replace multiple boxes with single units. It also helps that these pieces are being amassed together as part of a conscious decision and not being added on bit by bit over time. I can imagine picking up a better sound system at some stage, but the TV’s own internal speakers are none too shabby.

• jail broke the iPhone for 2 reasons: 1. To get a different SMS tone. 2. AT&T won't unlock the damn thing, even for a fee. #fb #
• It's not like I'm even trying to switch carriers. I'll still use AT&T in the US, but I want to be able to use other carriers elsewhere. #
• just confirmed that the iPhone is indeed carrier unlocked. It's only a few months too late, but I'll have it for the next Galway trip. #fb #
