All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

I remember reading about power strip liberators awhile back, but I never realized it was back in September 2005! Nevertheless, I think I’ll be needing to buy a pack of these. (Yes, need.) I have a lot of stuff that I’ve been plugging and unplugging to power different devices, like my shredder, cell phone, and bluetooth headset, all which use bulky power adapters. Hopefully with these, I’ll be worrying about that less and getting more things done as a result. There’s variations of these, from flat, pass-through, industrial, etc.

The same Philips DVP642 DVD player I’ve been using to enjoy downloaded TV shows (via BitTorrent) is available at the Philips Outlet for $29.99 shipped. That’s half of what I paid for mine - how awesome is that? I think everyone should have one of these, they’re that good. (Golf clap: Passwird Deals for Thursday, 2/16/06)

On my spiffy Philips DVP642 DivX-Certified Progressive-Scan DVD Player, I just found out that multisession discs are supported. So why is that cool? Because if you have some videos you want to watch on your TV, but they won’t fill up the CD-R (in my case), I can add more later. I’ll probably put a circle and fill it in according to how much space is left on the CD, and that’ll help with the mess of CDs around the DVD player.

I wrote this because I’ve got three episodes of “Beauty and the Geek 2″, and my mom and I were catching up on them. Each of them are 350MB/episode.
