I picked up a new pair of contacts yesterday; my first new pair in 4 years. My vision isn't degrading as fast as it used to, but the new contacts are very welcome. I notice the additional clarity most when I'm driving. The one thing that stood out this morning on my drive into work (besides being able to read signs from farther away) was the definition in reflections on other cars. I guess it's the little things that get me, sometimes.WCYG is now sourced from Winamp 2.91/SQRSoft ACF 1.75/Oddcast v1 (Feb Build). Turning metadata off, this is the most stable and best-sounding config I've had in a while. Please check out the stream if you're interested by plugging the WCYG link into your streaming Vorbis player. Foobar2000 and XMMS are the most stable clients I've found.

We recently purchased a 32" JVC HDTV (AV-32P903) and I'm really digging it. DVD movies in progressive-scan mode look great. My wife and I watched "The Fast and the Furious" together Friday night and really enjoyed the movie. I was worried that she wouldn't see the difference from our old setup, but she assured me that she did. I'm getting an HD box from Comcast on Saturday that will give us some additional second- and third-tier digital stations, plus our local HD versions of CBS, NBC, and PBS affiliates. It's going to be great, but I just wish our local ABC affiliate was planning on going digital before the fall; I really wanted HD Monday Night Football this year. I just did some digging and found out that Super Bowl XXXVIII will be broadcast by CBS! CBS is committing to one HD game per week, and should have some good HD coverage in the playoffs. Excellent!

My son's class had a Fathers' Day party for the dads this morning. It was cool.I'm really enjoying the new KX album. My last few new CD purchases (3 Doors Down, OSI, KX) have all been really enjoyable.
