Looking inside the box

Ever wonder how that little box of a TV makes all those magical images appear? Well, I can't really tell you. But here is a look at some of the mechanisms that make ours function (or as of right now, don't).

Unfortunately, ours stopped working two days ago. I wish I could tell you that this little experiment made me realize how unnecessary television is, how it has helped Shawn and I have deeper and more meaningful conversations, and how I now am more productive and efficient. Instead, I am just hoping that the DVR is still recording!

But really, the TV went down randomly during a show Tuesday night. I called a repair company, and they think they might have the part and be able to fix it for a not completely outrageous price. Now, however, Shawn thinks he can fix it. Tuesday night, I was encouraging this. Now, I am less sure...

He is good with cars though. I'll let you know if we head to Best Buy in the next few days and get a new one.
