drewanSo far today we've just been taking it easy. As I mentioned earlier, we had lunch at blue, and then we shopped at Powells bookstore, which is a wonderful place! I bought all of the Artemis Fowl books that I was missing, in hard cover first editions, for really cheap. Now I just need to get them home. Having Powells back home would be a dangerous thing indeed!
I also stopped at a home audio/video store to ask them about how to transfer HD video around the house. THe guy suggested I use Baluns, which convert component video into CAT5. I would need one on each end. When I get home I'll do more research on these. I think the big question is whether I can do home networking over the CAT5 at the same time as using it for HD.
I also asked him what he would recommend for a central AV/Network/Phone hub. He mentioned something called Leviton, which I'll need to spend more time reviewing.
Damon had a phone interview at 3:30 or 4pm, which he expect would last and hour or more, so we haven't gone out to see to much of Portland yet. I think Joe and I are just going to hop on a streetcar and look around for a while.
