I love snow; actually not.



East coast is acting weird these days. When I gone to bed yesterday night, it was fairly clear all around outside. And today morning, when I woke up at 6 it was almost a whitewash outside. I immediately picked up the phone and call my office. Hurray!! we will be open from 11am. Sweet. Bitter thing is, it will not be easy to get to office at 11 either since it is still snowing with a mix of rain. Now that is the worst thing since the rain will freeze up at night and make out live horrible tomorrow morning. Anyway, its time for me to read the news and sip in my glass of coffee.

How do you get scammed by A/V retailer?

The answer is easy, ask them a dumb question, that you need a coaxial cable? Circuitcity guy will be happy enough to throw you a $20 cable for your digical adventure. Basically a coaxial output contains RAW audio data from a source an dthat has to be decoded via DA decoder to get audible sound. Now what I found, is plain and simple, any RCA cable will just do fine as a coaxial cable, period. Shame on me, I did not know that before and spend $$ to buy a so called digital co-axial cable.
