  • I’ve worked a number of jobs in TV, most behind the scenes. I’ve long said most of those jobs people at home wouldn’t know exist unless I make a mistake. That does not mean they were simple jobs.

    Many people do not understand the amount of work that goes into other jobs they have never done, nor do they understand what makes someone good at that job.



  • I think on a residential exterior I’ve usually seen full bricks, but they’re only a facade nowadays, not structural, so it’s only one deep and then normal wood framing and plywood behind the brick. I have seen at least once on a house show where they just made lines in stucco and painted it to look like brick, and brick face tiles on the interior.




  • I haven’t played the Dreamcast since they were an active system, but if you already have the cables to get S-video into your monitor you’re probably fine with that. Technically component would be better, but I don’t know how noticeable the improvement would be. The main improvement would be in color, but S-video wasn’t bad. I would have to doublecheck if S-video supports progressive scan, but if you’re at SD resolution on a CRT I wouldn’t expect you to notice a difference between interlaced or progressive video. Interlaced video was made for CRTs and wasn’t actually bad there, never mind how we appreciate and prefer progressive video on modern flat screens.

    It’s weird; I was like this up until I got married. My wife never said anything about it; she can also leave glasses around. Something just changed and I started bringing the old glass back to the kitchen in the morning. I rarely leave stuff in my car anymore, either.
