It's time for another update...

Well - I figure I would update a month earlier than my typical 6-month schedule....

My biggest news update is that my wife and I are expecting a baby boy in April! She updates her blog all the time, so if this is news to you, you are out of the loop! We are both excited and scared all at the same time. We initially weren't going to find out the sex of the baby, but changed our minds at the last minute. Now we are struggling with the search for a name! We had plenty of girl names in mind, but not many boy names...

I don't really have any technology updates this time - I have added a few games to the PS3 library, but that's about it. I play a lot of Tiger Wood PGA Tour '08 lately...

Our Mitubishi TV has died, too. Best Buy is coming out to look at it next week. It looks like we will be able to take advantage of the extended warranty we got on this thing, after all. We just had a new bulb put in it in August (under the same warranty), and just 4 months later the TV won't turn on any more. I've done some reading online, and there seems to be a rash of bad power supplies in these TV's. The capacitors on the circuit boards swell up and fail, and I suspect that this is what has happened to this TV. I would open up the TV myself and replace these capacitors myself, but since it is still under warranty, I figure I will let someone else do it! I just hope it doesn't take months to get it fixed.

That's all for this update. Maybe, if you are lucky, I will update in April, but things might be kind of hectic around here!
