Yes, the audio is a couple of frames out-of-synch with the picture. That’s because I used my alternate video capture setup, so the cables can reach from the DVD recorder in the other room. If there’s a fix for this, I haven’t found it yet. Now you know!
I would put the Comedy Central embedded video here, in fact I just did, but they screwed up the markups.
In case you were wondering, yes, they’re still here. Click the video and see… 😉

A while ago in a comment, Cactus Lizzie said I know a lot about computers. Actually, I don’t. But one thing that I do know is what’s in this training video. I chopped off the end a bit, because it gets into something I don’t need at work, but the rest of it I understand and use often.

Here’s the great news:
Friends:
Exciting news! I just got off the phone with Program Director Peter Casey–Steve will be back on the air in his old time slot starting Sunday!
See WBZ’s front page story: http://wbz.com/Steve-LeVeille-and-Lovell-Dyett-to-return-to-WBZ/3735627
Wanted to make sure you got the story ASAP! Thanks for all of your hard work!
I’ll “‘BZ-ing you!”

I’m ashamed to admit that Steve’s own comments about his departure took the wind out of my sails about the chances of his return to the Boston nighttime airwaves. Thanks go to Ben Goodman for hanging in there!
The Senate has delayed the end of analog TV transmission, which I think is a mistake, but in our house we’re using the absolute latest in TV technology. Because we’re finally set up to play Netflix’s Watch Instantly feature on Eric’s Xbox 360.
Whether SD, or Netflix’s limited selection of HD material, the video quality isn’t up to FiOS TV, but it’s certainly watchable, there are no glitches, and the operation of the user interface is fast and smooth. Here’s an example — one minute of the series “Heroes” in a somewhat grainy HD rendering, as seen on the Panasonic 720p front projector.

I missed the January 10 premiere of “Making the Monkees” on the Smithsonian Channel, but it’s being repeated this Tuesday at 8 PM ET.
