So shiny I want to lick them...

Wait, did I say that out loud?

'Gross' - as my daughter would say...

Whoa, season 1 of Hannibal on Blu-ray for only $4.99 on Amazon.com. While I didn't like the second season as much, and the third season got ridiculous while simultaneously being boring, I really enjoyed the first season and would recommend it wholeheartedly at this price. I ordered two of them to give as stocking stuffers.

I've only been tracking it on Amazon.com, so I don't know what the going price is elsewhere, but $199 seems pretty good for these:

Beyerdynamic DT 880 Premium 250 ohm

Too bad I don't have the spare change at the moment.

I don't know about the brand, but if someone is looking for rope lighting in their theater, this seems to be a really good price at Woot today only.

I've got a deal for you. I'm looking to clear out my gift inventory on Steam, so browse the list and see if there's anything you want. If so, just PM me your email address along with what you want, and if it hasn't already been claimed, I'll send it your way:

My favorite writer, William Goldman, passed away, so I've started making time for movies he wrote the screenplays for that I never got around to watching, as well as revisiting some of his novels that I loved. He was a titan among screenwriters, having won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, as well as Best Adapted Screenplay for All the President's Men. I'm sure he'll always be best known for The Princess Bride, which I still consider my favorite book. And here's the deal. Right now the illustrated Kindle edition of the book is down to $2.99 on Amazon.com, which is a steal. If you've only seen the movie, there are enough differences in the novel to make a read worthwhile.

The Princess Bride: An Illustrated Editi... Kindle Edition

Just trying to get more people to try out his novels. To see how different his writing can be, as a contrast to The Princess Bride, I also recommend Control, which I love for being so weird. I'm going to be doing a reread of it along with an online friend, who hasn't read any of his books. She's also going to be reading Marathon Man, which I also recommend. If you're like me and prefer physical copies of things when possible, he's worth looking up at your local bookstore. Mine only had copies of Marathon Man and Tinsel, so I donated spare copies I had of several of his other works. Here's hoping they actually put them on their shelves to sell.

In case anyone was considering Anthem gear, they're having a 20% off spring sale:

Anthem - Current Products

I completely forgot about this thread here.

Yeah, 20% off is a pretty big savings on Anthem gear. I've got their MRX-1120 and absolutely love it.

One note is that I emailed the local Anthem dealer to see if they knew anything about new models being released.

"They planned on updating the models this fall –CEDIA once HDMI 2.1 was in place. That being said the virus has impacted schedules so this may not be a reality."
