I guess I made up for my slacking on movies a bit. Saturday after I finally got up and decided to do something other than just read about electronics stuff I edited some video and watched TV. Ended up cleaning up a couple dozen GB on my pvr box which is cool. Saturday night I watched The Recruit. Hasn't changed since last time I watched it - I still think that's a good movie. Then I stayed up way too late reading more geek stuff. Ended up ordering some tactile transducers, so that should be fun when those come. As if the place doesn't rattle enough already... Sunday I woke up later than I should have, and barely got ready in time. After church it was basically sit around the house day, mainly reading geek material again (lately been mostly home theater forums). Ended up spending some time on the Columbia House site, and discovered everything's "on sale" and free shipping with at least 3 DVDs. Turns out they had a lot of interesting stuff for $9.99, so ended up getting 10 of them. Oops - gotta work on that impulse buy thing. Then I watched The Fellowship of the Ring, which is much better than I remember it. Probably because I watched it on a smaller setup before. That movie is mixed hot and with lots of bass - I think I found new resonances to fix in this room. After that I won an auction for an AXB-IRS4 - about time. I've already paid and the seller confirmed my shipping address and said she'd ship it either tomorrow or Tuesday. That should be fun when that comes. Sorta related is last Friday my box with robotics control cable and geardrive motors arrived. I've thought of a few more ideas for mounting the projector since the original, but we'll see what happens there. For a good chunk of the rest of the night I tried to avoid online shopping sites, since my track record for the weekend wasn't that great. Talked to a few friends online, some whom I rarely talk to. I finally decided to watch The Animatrix. It's surprisingly good quality of animation (although admittedly I don't really watch anime), although they paid attention to some odd details at points while skipping others. I watched the main clips, maybe I'll watch the rest tomorrow night. I'd say it was a good weekend - not exactly looking forward to going to work in the morning...
