Since neither TV manufacturers, retailers, the government, or anyone else seems to be interested in telling everyone, this is just a friendly little reminder that in a year and a half, all non-HDTV televisions will be obsolete.

If any of you are buying new TV's, make sure you get an HDTV model or you're wasting your money. For existing sets, if you have cable you should be OK. You will need a converter to get signals from the air. Also, the new HDTV sets are "wider" than the old analog sets, so you'll see a smaller picture with a wide black bar at the top & bottom.

I only bring this up because I found this article, and recently one of my friends got screwed on what he thought was a bargain.

Since I have a ridiculous number of T-shirts, I decided to toss a bunch.

Anyone want a bag of 7 t-shirts that I don't like? They're all size L and have all been washed. They're perfect if you're a painting or working on your car or work in construction or whatever, and need t-shirts that you don't give a shit about. First response gets them.
