Allow Myself to Introduce Myself

Greetings all, I am the great and powerful Jeffrey Snow, or just Jeff, or Snow, or many other names, most of which are not fit to print here. I would spend valuable time going over the history of who I am and the general story of my life but let's face it, if you don't know me, you're not reading this blog. In fact, odds are even if you know me, you're still not reading this blog. But nevertheless I will continue on like a gymnast crashing into the judges table.

Seeing as how I've pretty much tried every other trend in this technologically trendy day and age, I decided to the give the world of blogging a go. I have no real goal in mind other than to impart upon you, the gentle reader, the general musings of a semi-well-adjusted 20-something living in the Washington DC area. But as the days go by I'm sure I'll be able to think up some little tidbits that wander my way.

As for now, the Olympics have been of course the big news these past few weeks. I've been enjoying now as for the first time ever in HDTV and I have to say in Hi-Def it looks absolutely phenomenal. Watching the swimming is amazing. You can see every little detail of every ripple in the water. And NBC has been doing a great job on their HD channel of picking HD-friendly sports to broadcast. I have a sneaking suspicion that boxing in Hi-Def would be a little much though I'm sure there's some blood-thirsting people out there who would enjoy the graphic detail of a bloody nose getting busted open.

After seeing how great these sports look in Hi-Def, I can't wait to see how the NHL will look on it, that is of course if there is even a next season. Recent talks on the new collective bargaining agreement haven't exactly filled me with much hope. But I'll save my opinions on that whole situation for a later time. Ah well, there's always the World Cup before my hockey-less season commences.

Anyways all, that about wraps it up for this today's edition. I'll try and actually come up with somewhat of a topic for next time. Until then take care of yourselves and each other.... unless they owe you money, then start busting some kneecaps.

(Note: Mr. Snow does not condone the breaking of kneecaps)

That post is funny.

I myself try to give all technical things a try pretty early, but started on blogs only recently.

I liked your movie reviews.. but Garden State's story line doesnt seem kind of heavy.
