There are some people that love shoes (my wife), some people that like cats (Dean, for which reason I will never figure out), some people that like monkeys, and some people that love blogging and are the best at it. I confess, I'm a "gadget" guy. I love going to Best Buy, The Home Theater Store, Fry's, or the mother ship of them all.... the apple store. However, as of late I found myself in a dilemma. Now that I've got the HDTV, do I go Blu-ray or HD-DVD? I know that some of you right now are thinking that I need to get over it, but this decision has consequences. All of the sudden, I feel like I'm back in the 80's when people were having the great VHS or Beta debate! VHS won because of price, but anyone in media would tell you that Beta was (and still is) far superior.
So what should I do? Wait it out? According to this article, HD-DVD is the way to go right now. But what if it all takes a turn tomorrow? AAHHHHHHH!! This is important stuff! Far more important that having the right shoes with the right outfit, for this will determine which camp the Bennett household falls under. This is a war and sides must be taken!
oooops, this just in. I have re-read this article and this posting doesn't really matter anymore being that I don't have the money for either. Feel free to express opinion, and when I can finally afford one of these in 10 years, I will look to this post for advice.

I keep reading the first sentence over and over. It's my favorite. I can't get past it to find out what the rest of the blog entry is about.
I wonder if Beta (wasn't the full name Beta Max or something like that) fell victim to the sub-conscious thought that it might not be the "final version"? As in "beta testing"...
Chevrolet lost a chunk of change a while back because of a similar error in trying to market the Nova in South America...what nobody picked up on was the fact that "No Va" means "No Go" en espanol. And who wants to buy a car that doesn't go...and says so right on the name?
I'm SURE there was a job opening (or a few job openings) at Chevy shortly after that fiasco.
I say go HD DVD. I have no techology background to back it up...but it's a 50/50 shot, right?
