Disappointing. I had high expectations. Also we borrowed our scale to my grandmother and I was trying to keep somewhat of an eye on my weight. So I connected the thing to my phone. Wiiscale. Works nice but flipping the sucker to its back to sync etc is a nuisance. Also it wont work on [...]

After reading Wanted as a comic I can almost taste the excitement amongst fans when a film was anounced and the disappointment after actually watching it

Posted: 7th August 2011 by Gert in Entertainment, Planet

We ontdekten recent de Kouter concerten in Gent; een reeks van concerten op de Kouter tijdens de Bloemenmarkt in Gent. Een geweldig concept en een welkome aansluiting bij ons geregeld koffies slurpen op de kouter! (Niets zo leuk als tussen de bloemen kuiieren en met interessante mensen koffietjes slurpen – Bedenk ik me net dat [...]

Posted: 12th April 2011 by Gert in Entertainment

And its an awesome record! I bought it from the official site, as they directly sell CDs and digital versions. Had to look a bit for the digital version and even ask it over twitter; the answer came very swiftly. The store has a digital media section; I was only looking at the Mp3 section and [...]

The new audio gear is up and working and its bliss. The Onkyo Tx-Sr608 and Harman/Kardon HKTS 16bq/230 5.1 speaker set are a match made in heaven. Its ambrosia to our hifi starved ears. The set up is wonderful. Still needs some work, I just got the optical audio cable today, HDMI is planned for [...]

Product Placement

Posted: 25th September 2010 by Gert in Entertainment, Planet

I just realized I d like (decently organised) product placement after watching an episode of Lie to me. They have these super cool conference call phone devices. (Like the ShoreTel IP Phone 8000 but it looks better) With cameras apparently, since they use those in some episodes. I’m very curious about such conference call devices and I’d love [...]
