Over the past day my dad and I constructed a bracket for my wide screen monitor to mount it on my wall. I’ve created a do-it-yourself guide in the links at the top, which details the whole process with pictures and comments.

Check it out.

Later.

So here’s what I’ve got in store: talk about Pan’s Labyrinth, talk about The Departed, musings about upcoming stuff, and so on. All for later posts so I don’t waste all that I have to talk about in one.

Currently I’ve got a Do-It-Yourself project going on to mount my monitor on my wall. As the day progresses I’ll make a work log and post that. The idea is to create a custom mounting bracket for my Samsung Syncmaster 940BW 19″ widescreen. I already got the bolts, which was an adventure in itself, since it required hunting around for first the type of mounting bracket it normally takes, followed by the standard screw sizes (which were metric @_@), and finally a trip to Home Depot, but now they’re sitting on my desk, so all is well.

I saw The Guardian last night - or most of it - and just wanted to mention that Ashton Kutcher is quite respectable in that movie. I had my doubts, since it’s honestly hard to take a guy like him seriously after some of the things he’s been in, but he played his Coast Guard rookie role very well. The movie itself was also really good. Gave a very interesting look into one man’s way of preparing the rookies what, to be honest, nothing can really prepare them for. But he came close, and it pays off.

That’s that. More will be posted regarding that work log as time goes on. Stay tuned.

Later.
