Bose speakers are bad

The average consumer probably considers Bose one of the better speaker manufacturers in the market. In reality, they're cheaply made, audibly inaccurate, and expensive considering what you're paying for. Read more here. For a list of alternative speakers to Bose that are much better, yet are priced about the same or less, go here.

Infernal Affairs

Miramax just put out a trailer for Infernal Affairs on Apple's QuickTime Trailer Site. As usual, Miramax messes up (the two moles are not friends). Hopefully, they haven't messed with the content for the U.S. release because the movie is really good. I've already seen the trilogy on DVD. It can sort of be compared to a Chinese version of The Godfather trilogy.

A typical day of college football

As is usually the case, San Diego State comes close to beating a ranked opponent (Michigan), but ends up losing. And Vanderbilt looks like they might actually beat a SEC team on the road, and ends up losing as well.

Home theater seats

I'm planning on buying some home theater seats for the living room in my new house. Right now my top choice is a set of Berkline 088's. I'm looking to get a pair connected together (with an armrest in between). I think I want them in black leather (or leather match which is leather on the front and armrests and vinyl on the sides and back). Depending on the price, I'd probably like to get them with PowerRecline. There is a spec sheet here.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Feng Shui

According to this book, I'm not compatible with my townhouse. On the positive side, the important parts of the house (the front door, living room, master bed room, and kitchen) are all in favorable locations (according to the house's trigram). So hopefully all of this balances out. ;-)

House closing date change

The closing date for the townhouse I'm purchasing is being moved from October 14th to September 30th. The date of possesion is still October 15th or before.
