KeePass is a very nice, user friendly program. It also boasts a security option requiring two means of authentication via a password, and a key that is on your USB flash drive.

I hate to say it, but even with a DVR, I just didn't have enough time to watch or even care for half of the serials that looked interesting to me (The Nine, I'm looking at you.)

Xbox 360

I bought an XBox 360, not because of the HD, but because of the games available. Having played it though, the HD is certainly a nice feature to have (especially the 720p trailers I can download through the Xbox live marketplace.)

The 360 and the wii aren't in the same league as one is trying (and successfully I might add) to be the central hub of media experience whereas the other is simply a console and nothing more. I'm sure the wii will be fun to play, and I doubt any games will suffer by not being in HD.

Excellent How to post. It'd be nice to see more of these.

At the beginning of the episode Dean and Sam receive a phone call from their dad (who is in Sacremento.) Their dad asks them to stop following him, and at the same time gives them a list of names and asks them to check up on them. Dean and Sam argue over whether or not they should listen to their dad, and sam ends up going to Sacramento on his own, while Dean does what his father asked him to. The list of names leads Dean to a town in Indiana (I think, could be Illinois) where every year a couple of kids disappears (always a boy and girl.)
Meanwhile, Sam is hitchhiking along the highway and meets a strange girl, who is picked up by a guy in a van. Sam ends up at the same bus depot as the girl and they start telling each other about their various woes.
Dean asks around the small town to see if anyone recognizes the missing people, and one of them tells him that they were last seen going down the highway a certain way. As Dean retraces their steps, his "paranormal" detector starts going crazy so he decides to stop at the spooky apple orchard.

At that point in the story it becomes obvious that everyone in town is hiding something, and they eventually run Dean out of the town (literally, we see his car being chased out of town by the sheriff!), after Dean befriends a couple that the town folk are planning on sending down the same fateful route.

Sam calls Dean and apologizes, but Dean says to go on and find their father.

Switch to the new couple with their fixed car, breaking down in front of the apple orchard. They take the path towards the lit house, and the scarecrow starts towards them just as Dean comes out of nowhere with a shotgun and slows the scarecrow down enough so the couple can get back to their car and escape.

I forget how, but Dean and a local girl get caught, and are going to be offered up to the scarecrow so that their apple crops will continue to thrive. Just as we begin to think there's no escape Sam shows up (because Dean wouldn't answer his phone...) They escape, and burn the magic tree that fed the scarecrow's powers.

The last scene is with the weird girl that Sam met, who is now hitchhiking in a van. She asks the guy to pull over, then slits his throat and catches the blood in a cup, to make a call of some sorts. She tells her "father" that she could have killed Dean and Sam then, then she agrees that it can wait.

Hopefully that's not too full of holes that you can't understand it. It was a pretty good episode.

I'm not a regular SNL viewer, so I can't speak of their overall quality. I will admit starting to watch it more after it started airing in HD, and I did happen to watch "Lazy Sunday" live. I will equate my appreciation for this song/video to that of my appreciation for Eminem or Tenacious D. While neither can be heralded as "great" they certainly have their moments. Just tell me you don't appreciate the following lines taken from "Lazy Sunday"

"People confuse me for Adam Burr from the way we're dropping Hamiltons"

"Two no six, no twelve, BAKERS DOZEN!"

The lyrics and accompanying screen images are hilarious. I truly feel sorry for those who do not find this to be amusing.
