OMGosh, Dr JoseP....the thought of you biking in Manhattan makes me so nervous! All that crazy and fast traffic...please, please, please be very careful my friend! Or better yet...don't do that anymore!!

I will admit that I was probably a bit reckless taking my bike out for a spin after getting off a train after getting up at 5:00am to have my brother drive me to Union Station on a Wednesday... But...

Apropos of nothing...

I hadn't ever thought of exploring any broadcast 3-D before hearing a few days ago that there would be 3-D broadcasts of the Olympics.  I then learned that if you're already set up with HDTV, it costs not a farthing extra to get those channels -- at least through Comcast.  So I just spent an enormously satisfying (it's all relative when it comes to talking to your cable company) 15 minutes determining that it could indeed be activated on the hardware I've got.  And, just like that, I now have 3-D TV channels ... and they work!  THEY WORK!!!   :)

In any case...

I can't wait for Summer Streets to start back up.  I can only catch the first one, but it should be fun riding along Park Avenue...

I just got off the phone with 85 year-old Vincent Youmans II, son of the composer. I spent the morning tracking down the family via Cast Recording List and the Library of Congress. I have two library boxes of original NO NO NANETTE materials that John McGlinn "borrowed" and refused to return nearly 30 years ago. I came across the storage boxes yesterday while sorting through the moved materials and I want to return them to the family in the next couple of weeks, as soon as the office is more set up.

Good God!  30 years?

Glasses definitely required.  I was set up for it because I already have a 3-D Blu-ray player, TV, etc.

Instead of the blurred double-image projected at a movie theater and on 3-D Blu-ray, Comcast broadcasts two images a couple of different ways -- scrunched side by side, and on some material, one over the other.  The only thing I have to do is select which it is on the TV, and the TV converts that picture to the familiar blurred double-image.

Most definitely not.  They're the polarizing kind.  Don't know how much they go for because I got the whole thing in a package a couple of years ago and haven't looked at what's out there now.  These (Panasonic) were probably going for a hundred bucks per pair, a la carte, at the time.

Setting up routers and such, especially Wi-Fi, is what challenges me each and every time.  Any time I have to do anything it's like learning it from scratch.
