Dear Circuit City, I win.

As many of my close friends know, I have been boycotting Circuit City for the past year.

Well, it seems my boycott has showed Circuit Citys who the boss is because they are filing for bankruptcy.

Just imagine what you could have been, Circuit City, if you had not denied me the ability to return a few DVDs, still in the shrink-wrap, for store credit. STORE CREDIT!

Dear Best Buy,

Congratulations!

Hulu on PS3 and Xbox 360

I have been waiting for some time to find an easy way to watch videos from Hulu on my big screen in the living room.

Looks like there is finally a solution and it rules!

PlayOn!

The magic bulb?

Looks like there is a new player in the lightbulb market.

Just as LEDs were starting to come down in price, Vu1 highlights a new light technology called Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) that should hit the streets late this year.

It has all the quality benefits of incandescent lights without the mercury content of CFLs and high cost of LED. Also, since they are dimmable, I might finally put my INSTEON project back on the front burner.
