TV

Over the holidays, I was at my parent’s place and watched some TV.
They’ve got a relatively new one, with the content coming over DVB-T.
At the time, I thought the picture looked strange, unnaturally crisp. But I couldn’t really put it in words.
Then, I stumbled on this comment on slashdot:

A lot of hi-def production looks terrible now-a-days because it’s too real, it looks like actors standing on a set

Bingo, that’s the metaphor I was looking for!

Stuck in the elevator

Shit happens?
Yeah, it does. So yesterday, as I headed down to the car to go shopping, the elevator got stuck between 0 and -1.
Great. Took an hour before I had figured out a how to open that fucking outer door. And the phone number for the emergency service was on a sticky outside. Morons.
