I have my computer hooked into the living room television with a pretty simple system. The video inputs with a splitter off the computer video cable and the audio is transmitted through a little FM transmitter. This system gets whatever is on the computer over to the tv and works pretty well for watching streaming movies and vids.
I've been thinking of upgrading though. I think I'd like to be able to browse the web from the comfort of the sofa so have the need for a more versatile connection between the pc and tv. Since I'm educating myself to the possibilities out there I figured I might as well blog about the journey. Isn't that what people do these days?
Just debuted a new blog, My PC To TV, and in it I'll share the new systems and solutions to the PC to TV problem. First real post is a video of Icron's new wireless system. Pretty cool stuff.

Lip Bone Connected To The Trom Bone
One of our favorite trombone shirts over at RetroRanger's Emporium of Musical Sweetness is this Skull and Bones Trombone Shirt. You've got the ever-cool skull wearing a marching band hat, over crossed (trom)Bones plus text "Skull & Bones." And a pretty good deal at 15 bucks.
Come to think of it, I often feel like the skull dude after a few hours of marching band practice. Be sure and check out RetroRanger for other cool marching band t-shirts and musical sweetness!

Allis Chalmers WD45 Tractor Wall Clock
New at our RetroRanger store is this cool Allis Chalmers WD45 Wall Clock. You know how much we like old tractors! A tough Allis Chalmers WD45 tractor on a cool wall clock would be perfect in the shop. Or barn. Or milk room. Or potato cellar. Or, should I stop? OK.

New Galileo Mouse Pad
Just finished up a new design for a Galileo mouse pad and uploaded some to the eBay store. Mouse pad features a portrait of Galileo with the solar system in the background. Also the quote "E pur si muove" ("And yet it does move" -- said by Galileo after being forced to deny that the earth moves around the sun). This will make a great gift for the astronomer on everyone's list.

Just launched a new Matrix t-shirt on CafePress...the Wake up, Neo T-Shirt. Sure to impress while hanging with your own personal Morpheus.
Remember,while the Agents must adhere to the rules of the Matrix, your human mind allows you to bend or break these very same rules. And to wear any shirt you want.

Cthulhu Moves To Management
You of course are familiar with Cthulhu, octopus-headed evil monster-god creation of H. P Lovecraft. Seems Cthulhu has a new gig behind the desk. I think he's the new Midwest Manager of Mergers and Acquisitions.
In honor of Cthulhu's new position we've created the Cthulhu Mouse Pad and it's available at our All-4-Corners eBay store. Might also load it up to CafePress but haven't done so yet.
