Apartment Therapy

This is a pretty great idea for keeping your floors dry in the winter . I hate walking around the house in my socks just to step in a sludge puddle and get them wet.

It's just a tray with some decorative rocks. Your shoes drip dry and the water drains to the bottom of the tray.

I wish I knew

I wish I knew what draws me to this shoe. I don't think I would ever wear it, but it is strangely beautiful in its simplicity.

Add this to the list decorating ideas I'm stealing...

Samsung Triumph

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I think this is very worthy of the comeback.

I recently purchased a sweet Samsung 40" lcd TV, the ln40a550 to be exact. I got a great deal on it from Amazon for $929 shipped with white glove delivery. 

The first thing I wantedto do was hook it up to my Sony Laptop so I could stream movies from my hard drive.

I followed the instruction in the samsung owners manual to the letter, but the television didn't recognize the PC source.

After reading many posts in multiple forums on this problem I thought i was doomed. This seems to be a specific problem with linking Sony laptops with Samsung TVs.

I messed around with the computer's settings for about 2 hours and finally stumbled on the solution.

FN F7, that's all it is, hold down the function key, and hit the F7 key a couple of times until the monitor icon is highlighted. Then go back to the televison The PC source should now be available for use. Voila! PC on your TV.

I hope this saves someone a ton of time down the road. 

HO HO #2

I went to see the Pointe's Ho Ho show #2 last night at The Pageant featuring Eagles of Death Metal, Cold War Kids and Scott Weiland.

While I can't stand the cheese that oozes from EDM I actually think they were the top performers last night. They brought the most energy to the stage and evoked the most emotion from the crowd. I even jumped in on the moshing!

Cold War Kids were close runners up. Nathan Willett banged on the piano and roamed the stage often running into band mates. I really dug the short set, but the crowd didn't seem to respond similarly.

Last and certainly least was Scott Weiland. First of all the man looked anorexic, literally skin and bones. His movements; slow and almost scripted. He made an attempt to croon like Morrisey, but the result was not flattering. His solo stuff was just noise. While the crowd begged for STP, he pacified them with only Interstate Love Song. Weiland was a disappointing end to a slightly above average show.
