I love a good gadget. My vast readership will know this from my various iPad related posts and similar. We have always had a bit of a crap television though. This was remedied today with a purchase. We now have a much nicer, and much bigger one. The most exciting thing is the ability to connect up various USB devices/laptops/iPads and play content from them. My film and TV collection is now being transferred to an external hard drive. This in turn will be connected either directly to the TV which works on most cases, or through the new media station when it arrives. We have HD now, which seems to me to be entirely designed to see the poor make-up work on television. I have learnt how to switch it off in an instant for fear of my local MP appearing on Newsnight. The thought of that in HD is enough to make a grown man cry. I sat in awe and wonder when we had set it up, and my first viewing experience was Tottenham beating Liverpool 4-0. It was an unexpectedly pleasant day. In the evening we watched the recent Pirates of the Caribbean film, and generally basked. It was a good day, spent with my lovely girls, and all the more precious for it.
