On Monday night, slightly before DeSean Jackson of the Eagles made his boneheaded play, I heard a slight “popping” sound and looked up from my computer. What did I see? Well, my 50 inch tv had gone dark.

I knew immediately what had happened: the bulb in my dlp setup had finally burnt out. I guess I should be happy that I got a full five years of life out of it.

So I currently have a 27 inch NON-HD television set in my living room, while I await delivery of my new bulb in 1-7 days.

Sounds like the perfect time to leave town for a few days.
