Hella cool, for a nerd…

Just thought I’d pimp this new site I found, it’s just hooondreds of links to lives mp3’s and videos, haven’t checked out many of the links, but it seems decent.
We got a new TV yesterday, a 32 inch widescreen Philips, it’s kind of imposing in the little room we’ve got it in, but does look very good. I did something that can be done to pretty much any TV we’ve owned but I’ve never done before, hooked up my laptop to the TV, and the sound to the surround sound. Technically it’s just stereo but I’ve jiggery-pokeried it so that it has 4 big old speakers hooked up to an old amp I was given, it sounds great so I don’t really mind about the whole 5.1 thing since we have that next door. Anyway, I’ve been running my laptop off a 32 inch screen, it’s awesome, watching all the TV episodes that I’ve downloaded over the past week, I was really impressed with the quality too, the Simpsons looks practically the same as if it was a regular TV programme, which I guess you don’t realise when you watch shows on a laptop screen. Btw my position on downloading TV shows is that I’ll delete them when they’ve come onto British TV because these are shows I’d watch anyway, and I’ve paid my TV license, and my parents pay for 2 Sky subscriptions 1 of which they never use except for when I’m home, so I think it’s only fair.
