Got a bonus...then spent it!
Well, work treated me well this year and I got over 200% of my projected bonus. I used a large portion to pay off a credit card, and the rest to buy something I've been looking at for a LONG time...a new TV!

Got rid of the 27" tube and went with a Sony Bravia 46" XBR4. It really saves a lot of space in my living room (which is a mess right now with all of the boxes and cables all over the place!)

Watched "The Patroit" on BluRay the other night on it...I am so happy I have a good setup now!

I also picked up the HD-DVR box from Comcast on the way to work yesterday. Can't wait for hockey games now!

Sorry for the crappy phone pic...I took it right before I left for work.

Sweet TV! I love my Sony! I just updated my Comcast DVR from the Motorola DCT 3412 to the Motorola DCH 3416 (larger drive for the HD content).


If you need more HDMI cables, be sure to check out MonoPrice...

Re: Got a bonus...then spent it!
I already bought 2 HDMI cables, one for my PS3 and one for the cable box. Of course I know I spent way more than I could have by buying the HDMI cables at the store rather than online....but I wanted to watch my TV right away!

Bonuses are very sweet! Very nice setup, Jimmy. Thank God you didn't get the Clark Griswald Jelly of the Month club bonus!

Re: Got a bonus...then spent it!
Very nice setup! I stare longingly at the Brevia line every time I pass the Sony store

I picked up a pellet grill and smoker from Traeger today. They are local to me, so I managed to get them to deliver it instead of shipping it. If it wasn't for the Stumptown herf Wednesday, I'd be doing steaks tomorrow night

Nice looking set there.

Nothing like watching one of those sets. It feels like almost being there.
