I spent a lot of time trying to get my new sound card to work, but it wouldn’t recognize the optical input. As a result, there are computer bits strung all over the livingroom (sorry Erin.) I’m hoping that I can get it working tonight though, because I’m really looking forward to being able to snag sound clips off of the TV with no quality loss.

Speaking of TV - Erin and I were at breastfeeding class last night (stay with me here - the segue will make sense) Anyway, they gave us a handout on “Shaken Baby Syndrome.” On it, it listed one of the common causes of people shaking their babies - interrupted TV viewing. Erin read this, turned to me and said - the world needs more PVR’s.
