Home Theatre Highlights

by Aaron Emerson

Remember when home theater consisted of arguments over whose turn it was to punch out Piston Honda, what temperature Grandma cooked the Thanksgiving dinner, 325 or 350, and “why do the kids always say your friend Karen stayed the night when I was stuck in Oakland that one time”? Well times have changed. Or at least your home entertainment options have.

While teenage drama and matrimonial mayhem persists, we no longer rely on uni-channeled ON television and corded remotes. Programming is passe and alternatives are abound.

As in the world of home theater, competition is also abound in blogging. So while I bask in the sheen of sexy new living room life preservers, I promise to play my part in this blogosphere prism and not pretend that I (at least for now) could possibly actually possess them personally. Instead, I will take an everyman’s honest look at new products on the marketplace and offer an “honest” sarcastic snap judgment on why I think they should be in your home theater.

Times have changed and so have reviews.

Call me “Everybrowser” and let me guide you through the world of forward-tech envy. We may not all be able to own one, but we can all have an opinion. I hope you share yours with me on this jaded, yet jealous VIDgilante.

All comments, good or bad, are highly desired and appreciated. Please email me directly at aaron.emerson@451press.net or leave a comment after any post. I highly value honesty (no matter how ignorant of a subject) and all comments will be posted forever, unedited. Thank you for spending a part of your day with me. I hope to prove I’m worth it.

P.S. I’ll be awarding electronics I’m especially envious of between 1-3 green envy awards. Pretty much making a post will earn one, but some specially sexy mechanisms will take home all three.

P.P.S. Once I get into a routine, the week’s posts will generally follow this format:

Monday: Video (DVD Players, TV’s, Projectors, etc.)
Tuesday: New DVD Releases
Wednesday: Audio (CD, MP3 players, speakers, etc.)
Thursday: Furniture, design and control features
Friday: Ultimate Envy
Saturday: A/V Tips
Sunday: Design Tips

    Welcome Aaron! I can’t wait to read your blog. Or, more honestly, my husband can’t wait for me to read your blog and perhaps be convinced to buy that huge, expensive home theatre system he’s been talking about.

    :)
