Among the things we spotted in our post-prandial stroll around Fry's Electronics this evening: USB gadgets for transferring LPs, audio cassettes and even video cassettes to your computer; also a bulky and expensive box to convert LPs direct to CD, which strikes me as an idea whose time has probably gone by. Also, digital photo frames seem to be coming down in price, but who needs those when you have computers? There were also a lot of inexpensive off-brand MP3 players. Big-screen TVs look a lot more convincing than they did a few years back, I notice.

Meanwhile on Mount Wilson, after a calm, clear day, they're starting on that long-delayed controlled burn under the rising moon.
