8th Annual Starlyte Lounge Tiki Party

We had a hot hot early summer, followed by an earthquake and a tropical storm. We're Survivors, people!! Let's celebrate the end of Summer with a massive Tiki Party, full of kitch, plastic flowers, garish garnishes, and over-proof rum!

So get your best Aloha Shirts cleaned by September 10, 2011 (that's less than two weeks away!!!)

7:30 - Midnight (We live in a neighborhood, and while everyone here seems very tolerant, I don't want to test them).

Attention: clear the date and plan your route to:
4205 Sleepy Hollow Road
Annandale, VA

It is time for the 2nd Annual Starlyte Lounge Tiki Party! Yay!

Last year's party was a huge success. In fact, it was such a success that we Starlyters decided to see if we can do a repeat of the original volcano blow-out.

Here's a link to my sister's "house page". She and her husband are building a house, and she has somehow found the time to make a webpage that documents the project. There is also a link to her blog ont the page; she is a much better blogger than I am.

Is Gmail too creepy to be used?

Somebody really hates Google. They have a web page called Google Watch that ties various conspiracy theories to all of Google's utilities.

There are more available.

I need to learn some things before I can make an intellegent choice. For instance; I know that I need/want BNC connectors, and a 75-Ohm input impedence. Does this make the type of signal transparent? Or do I need something that will specifically handle PAL video?
