 You can already buy compact cameras that record in 4K! That's an 8 megapixel 
picture in video. I'm impressed by the technological achievement but it's a bit 
much for the living room, might make cinema even more impressive but 3D movies 
seemed like they were doing it for the sake of it. A good film is a good film 
regardless of how it is broadcast. They should concentrate on scripts I think, 
all those huge cameras are expensive. Probably be a backlash to the old ways of 
doing things if it gets too advanced.

 OK, what's good on TV across the pond these days?  BTW, for Netflixers here 
Black Mirror has been added in the US WI. 
 
 Tonight was quiz night on BBC2. First up was University Challenge, which 
leaves me feeling inadequate if I don't get a score that matches the average of 
the smart arse kids from Oxbridge.
 
 
 Second was Only Connect, which is fiendishly difficult, full of abstract 
puzzles. I did crap on that tonight, but did well on University Challenge. I 
bet you don't have anything remotely like either of those in the US.
 
 
 Other than that, I've glanced at a few of the BBC's dramas that they are proud 
of, Remember me is a ghost story starring Michael Palin, give it a try if you 
can as it's very creepy. But I missed most of part two because of watching 
George's vision and forgot to tape it so I'll probably give up.
 
 
 We had this Australian drama on BBC4's called The Code which got off to a 
cracking start and had some great acting but they forgot to write a good ending 
and gave it a Scooby Doo, I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't 
for those meddling kids equivalent. Which, after 4 weeks of watching felt like 
I'd been cheated. I think they are trawling the world hoping for another hit 
like The Killing but it didn't work out.
 
 
 The Fall season two is excellent.
 
 
 If you want a hot tip about something I really enjoyed, see if you can find a 
BBC comedy called The Detectorists it was my favourite programme of the 
season. It's a really sweet tale about the life and loves of a couple of guys 
with metal detectors. It's much better than it sounds, honest. And it couldn't 
be more English if it tried.
 
 
 Have a go at this:
 
 
 Only Connect - Series 8 - Episode 1 
 
 
 
 Only Connect - Series 8 - Episode 1 The BBC quiz show Only Connect, hosted 
by Victoria Coren Mitchell. It's a brand new series, and the Lasletts and the 
Pilots are competing for Win 1 ...

 Salyavin, one of my very favorite bits from Geo Hammond was when he said that

 I learned this one mindfulness technique that seems so innocuous that anyone 
who'd been steeped in TM lore would dismiss it as rubbish and say that it 
couldn't possibly lead to anything, unlike TM because that involves magic 
mantras and puja and evading the conscious

even more impressive but 3D movies seemed like they were doing it for

things if it gets too advanced.




Netflix is already streaming some 4K material. Some of the Bluray 
players are equipped for it. It's only a matter of time or probably this 
next CES in January that smartphones will come with 4K cameras.  TCL, 
the company that made my new TV, a year ago promised 4K TVs for under 
$1000.  My 55 panel cost $500 and as I look back in 1991 I bought a 27 
TV for $900 (had S-VHS inputs) and in 2000 spent about $4000 to be an 
early HDTV adopter with a Pioneer 53 set.


I didn't really have anything HD to watch on it until the following 
spring when I got Dish Network and the HD STB was the first one that the 
installer had ever done and at that I had to fix everything after he 
left.  The 53 Pioneer sits in my garage with no takers even though I've 
offered it for free.  The power supply was even resoldered by an expert 
which made the set perform better than when it was delivered.


I also just had to have an HD camera so bought one of those JVC 
cameras for $3500 in 2003.  It came bundled with a JVC HD D-VHS deck.  
Nowadays the $20 Vivatars probably take better videos except the JVC has 
a really good lens on it.


Yes, I'll watch at about any resolution if the story is interesting 
enough.  But I'm on home theater forums where getting an OPPO Bluray 
player is very important to them whereas I'm getting a great picture 
with a Sony S1200 with all the latest apps and those were going for as 
low as $40 during Black Friday.  But mine cost nothing but Sony Rewards 
points.  My older player was beginning to crash.

Mark Twain's visit to Heaven! The mind boggles.

Also, Even More Relativity, a comprehensive revision of fundamental physics.
That'll be a curio for sure. Well known physicists get endless papers sent them
by amateurs proving that Einstein was wrong, drives them nuts. The trick is
to make sure you've correctly understood it in the first place and that is a
really tall order. Would like to read it though, all of Einstein's ideas have
been proved so I'd like to read any serious alternative. But actually, it's
sure to be a mystical string theory hash up like you get endlessly on the
internet or on TM courses isn't it?
