This time of year I like it even better. Many of the shops that say theyopen at 10 won’t open until noon or so. Some don’t say so but my guess is they are closed for the season.

Great Sound Needs Dynamic Range

January 26, 2010 Freelance writers Beach Street Life

Think about this, if you are watching TV and someone is running the dishwasher, the sound has to be turned up so you can hear people talk right? In fact in order to hear the quietest sounds, the volume has to get very high, or you miss out.

For the first few days I thought I was waking up with a hangover. I was dried out, tired and had a miserable headache. By day three I had a slight bloody nose

Get a new house and don’t move.

January 25, 2010 Freelance writers Beach Street Home

This wasn’t like a new kitchen where the rest of the house is the same. This was a different house. Every room felt different. The windows were replaced mid June and the first thing we noticed is we didn’t notice the A/C running.

One thing to keep in perspective, all of the original can lights used less electricity than the Air Conditioner. We have replaced our washer, dryer, dishwasher and refrigerator with more energy efficient models as well. Cutting out 6090W of Maximum use only equates to about $1.00 per hour at todays rates.

As she approached the front of the line the wine maker noted her glass by hollering out “I like her attitude!”. The sound of scrambling feet and clinging glasses followed as everyone flew back to the table running over the commander and his wife, we now had a flying squadron party.

Is it time to timeshare?

January 22, 2010 Freelance writers Beach Street Travel

My wife on the other hand quickly gets cabin fever. Our friends are always telling us to get a timeshare since it forces you to take time off. The very first “free weekend” timeshare presentation we went to was the Sheraton in Puerta Vallarta. The room was such a pressure cooker for sales you could see the pool of sweat on the floor. The first night and day were great, then the breakfast. The food was ok, and this guy joins us like he is our best friend. Then he turns up the heat. How we got out I will never know. The truth is we liked the location, and the price wasn’t bad. I was flying more for the airlines back then so I really didn’t need any more time away from home.

LED TV or LCD TV?

January 22, 2010 Freelance writers Beach Street Tech

Since the human eye can only see 1/60th of a degree of resolution, there is a limit to what we can process. The difference between 720 P. and 1080 P. is the difference between sitting at 1.57 times the screen width and 1.78 times the screen width.

For instance if you pick a 55 inch television it will be about 50 inches wide. That means you need to sit at 100 inches for normal television watching.
