Come on Chuck, you can't be cereals. Anyway, this reminds me... always remember to check the bottom edge of your Mosaic boxes for the expiration date (as in "best if played by 05/16/08")

I think my favorite is... ...about 9 of the versions that have been mentioned so far.

I don't know what people see in those Mosaic sets to begin with... I mean, NO obi strip?

Can anybody update this topic in terms of personal experience? My wife wants to get her dad some wireless headphones for latenight tv and dvd viewing, and I wouldn't mind having a decent pair myself for the same purpose. I've done some online research, but with the array of products out there (including various models by the same company- some cheap, some expensive, some infrared, some radio-frequency, good reviews and bad reviews of the same products, etc etc), it's difficult to try to sort it all out. I still have a resistance to buying something on the cheaper end of the spectrum (as I posted above, I've had a couple of pairs that didn't last), but I'm also hesitant to spend $150 - $300 on something that is unproven and may be overkill in terms of sound quality (I'm not planning to use them with the stereo as much). Also, I'm still not really up to speed on "bluetooth". Most of the phones I've looked at- full closed-ear headphones- don't seem to use that technology (either "RF" in a higher range than bluetooth; or infrared seem to be the standard options). It seems as though IR technology might make the most sense for wireless headphones used for tv (the required "line of sight" being pretty much a given most of the time).

Saw them live several times, and the smell that comes to mind.... let's just say it's not the smell of fresh mountain air.

On cable recently, I came across a canadian film from 2005 called "Djangomania". Pretty enlightening look at the guitar legend's current influence. Sundance channel Telefilm, Canada Also, several months ago I watched two consecutive cable documentaries on PBS one evening. The first one was called "Heart Of The Sea", about an extraordinary Hawaiian woman who influenced thousands of people with her energy and lust for life (especially surfing) while battling breast cancer. The story itself is fairly remarkable, but it was the unbelievably stunning quality of the filmmaking that really knocked me out. If you come across it, don't miss it. As soon as I finished watching "Heart Of The Sea", I watched a documentary called "One Cool Cat" about the life of Sammy Davis Jr. It was truly awful. I read this at Amazon, and I agree 100%: This is a listless, plodding, dispassionately-narrated biography of the man who is very likely the greatest all-around entertainer ever. The on-camera commentary is provided not by people who knew Sammy personally, but by a couple of historians and a tap dancer who speak about his artistic achievements and significance from a dry, rather remote perspective. The A&E biography has all the information this one does, and more, and packages it in a much more compelling and comprehensive documentary. This was a great disappointment. Talk about a stark contrast in the skill and art of making a documentary film.
