What it means to be a professional athlete

I came across these two photos on the @raptors photo stream. DeMar DeRozan and Sonny Weems were at Best Buy shopping for video games and took a minute to pose for a photo with a clearly very excited young lady. Here are two guys I’m not worried about having loaded or unloaded weapons in their locker. Good on you guys.

Experiments: Do Coat Hangers Sound As Good Monster Cables?

Mathieu | March 5th, 2008 | No Comments »

I’ve been telling everyone who would listen for years. When you buy your HDTV or Blu-ray player from that big box store, do not, I repeat: DO NOT buy your cables from them. It is the biggest rip off around.

Instead, go to this cool Web site, www.ebay.ca/com and search for HDMI cable. Then buy them for $4.00 or whatever the going rate for a 3 foot or 6 foot cable is these days.

Recently, the Consumerist did an experiment where they soldered some coat hangers on to a set of speakers and put the same set with Monster cables next to it. Audiophiles couldn’t tell the difference.  This is not an endorsement for soldering coat hangers to your AV equipment. Just an endorsement for not giving Best Buy/Future Shop/Wal Mart your hard earned money for useless  over-priced cables.
