My PS3 set-up/Home Theater set-up/Logitech Harmony 1100/Blu Ray/DVD/Xbox 360/Wii/ HD Projector???

Posted by admin on July 20th, 2010 and filed under home theatre | 25 Comments »

This is my home theater setup aka the man cave. Imma HUGE HUGE sports fan (go falcons!) so this room is dedicated to sports. I have the 65″ inch hdtv, and three 32″inch lcd tvs on top of that. This way, with nfl sunday ticket or nba league pass, I can watch all the games at once without missing a thing. Or I watch multiple sports all at one time. Mounted to the ceiling, I have a motorized 120″ inch projector screen 16:9 which comes down for the big sunday and monday nite football games, or when a big boxing or ufc fight is on. Now the components. Playstation 3, xbox 360, Wii, Pioneer surround sound,
5 Directv boxes, 3 lcd tvs, 65″ hdtv, universal remote, and a optima DLP projector. Im not really a gamer, I use to PS3 to watch blu ray movies, and I only play the 360 for madden football. I also have subwoofers underneath my couch for the full theater experience. The whole theater is controlled by my logitech harmony 1100 touch screen universal remote which can control pretty much anything.

Tennis Racquet Banjo

Posted by admin on June 27th, 2010 and filed under tennis racket | 9 Comments »

HI
Silly to be sure, but fun ? you bet. Loud too!
Salvation Army 50 cent tennis racket &
a few hours of time were all that was
required. Head is printing-shop thrown-away
mylar super-glued & stapled to racquet rim.
Head is tensioned by a very simple ring of
1/8″ plywood from an old door, pushed tight
with ten small blocks of wood. This tensions
the mylar so nicely that it doesn’t come anywhere
near hitting the racquet’s cross-strings.
Playing Strings are simply two gauges of fishing
line. 5th string is accomplished by “shorting-out”
the string with a couple of brads.
This is a three-string banjo. All 3tuning gears
won’t fit on the peghead end, so I put two
of them at the opposite end (near the bridge)
Works fine. Construction article forthcoming
soon on my webpage: www.DennisHavlena.com
