Needs one of these though :

http://www.wists.com...bde941ee0e-orig

;)

the visual thing can control the entire RGB gammut (i try to vj you see) so i can make a visual all red or all blue or green or whatever colour i want really.. instantly..
plus has saturation, great for layer masks
and two "special effects" - sharpness" and "digitise".. gotta buy a plug for it tommorow - cant wait to give it a test :)

aaa the ol adapter. i plumped for the slightly less aesthetic solution, now have one of these sitting in front of the telly, looking for a proper place to go:

most awesome thing is streaming movies & tunes direct from the lappie (in the studio) to the telly, works a charm. lovely to bounce a tune down to mp3, stroll out into the lounge and have a listen immediately. now i need some new speakers for it and a better telly.. damnit.. if anything though it's made me rediscover my music collection- finally a new stereo after 10 years ;D

i will swap you $25 cash or one of those other adapters for yours ev, i'm easy either way

jay took me a while to work out your latest purchase haha. much cheaper and more enjoyable than a conventional burglar alarm!

would be fun if there were any of those automatic pitching baseball centres around, it's awesome trying to hit balls that are really shitfing
