  0 0 I just discovered one can download calibration dvd's for one's TeeVee system. I plan on taking the time to calibrate mine soon. Perhaps that will help. But nothing else on any channel or input looks as consistently bad as House. Perhaps the producers are just going for a bleak mood. The GF didn't really notice until I pointed it out to her, and she still doesn't mind. Dr_Adequate commented 2 days ago

  0 0 I called, and left a message politely asking him to schedule a visit to see the problem. His greeting message is that he is no longer scheduling appointments, and will be closing in two weeks. I will call again, but it appears from here that he wants to quietly fold up shop and disappear. Dr_Adequate commented 9 days ago

  0 0 Post X-mas update: The Future Mrs. Dr. Adequate got a giant television set. To make the secret-keeping even funner, she arranged for a relative to come by a week before X-mas and stay a couple days with us. I had to secretly confide in the relative and promise them to keep the secret (it was highly likely they would have stumbled upon it while staying with us). Anyway, I photoshopped a picture of her and the giant television together so it appeared she was watching the teevee, framed it, and wrapped it. At first she didn't get it: "You got me a picture, of a TeeVee...?" As soon as we got home we had to hook the thing up, of course. Note to burglars: The dog still has not been fed, and he is extremely hungry now. Dr_Adequate commented 3 months ago

  How to get behind-the-scenes in a post-9/11 world?

  0 0 You used to be able to get into the ARTCC (Air Route Traffic Control Center) down in Auburn just by calling for an appointment. That was many years before 9/11. You would be escorted inside the building and, if their workload allowed, an air traffic controller would give you an informal tour and allow you to stand and watch the controllers at work for a few minutes. Oddly, it's a solid concrete building with no windows. The tower at SeaTac handles ground control (airplanes moving around on the taxiways), and arriving and departing traffic only. Once aircraft leave the control zone (a few miles from the airport) their control is turned over to the nearest ARTCC. I suggest you start by calling the regional FAA office and asking them about a tour. It may be helpful if you had a good reason for them to give you a tour: Have children? Can you somehow make it a school field trip? Know any boy or girl scouts? Think one of them would be interested in an aviation merit badge?
