See my DIY Mirror TV in action in this 33 second video

Traditional Home’s September issue has a great article, “Setting the Scene” p. 106, on how to handle your big TV (or, more likely, your man’s big TV).
Well I love TVs, especially flat-screen high definition TVs. We had seven as of the last time I counted. (I know, I know…women are supposed to HATE them…But I’m a geek).
My favorite is the 32” LCD on the lanai. But where is it, you ask?
In the mirror, of course!
Men love this TV. In 2005, I did one in my master bath with a 15″ LCD, even before HGTV’s Candice Olson.
See my DIY Mirror TV in action in this 33 second video (apologies, Favre fans):
On the lanai, it’s the perfect solution for a big flat panel outside in the salty sea air (700 yards from the ocean). It also provides some security because when the TV’s off, it looks like just a big mirror. Only downside – you can’t watch it in bright daylight, but we use it for viewing in the evening anyway.
Here’s how I did it…
We added the fireplace wall after house was built
Builder had already installed electrical and cable outlets on the wall
Carpenter built a niche about 20″ deep above the no-vent fireplace
There are holes in the niche’s ceiling to disperse heat buildup
I added an MDF shelf in the niche above the TV that holds cable box
I painted the inside of the niche and the shelf black
Added 1×4 pine vertical supports inside the niche opening for the mirror to rest against
Had a 1/4″ one-way mirror cut to just under the actual measurements of the niche opening
I attached super velcro to the supports and back of mirror
Mirror’s weight is supported because it sits on floor of niche
I velcroed on a removeable “frame” of stained poly trim (Home Depot) to hide the edges
TV remote works thru the mirror
Audio from the TV speakers comes through the mirror perfectly
DH can take the mirror down when we need access to the TV or cable box
Cost: about $200, excluding building the fireplace wall and buying the mirror TV
Ready-made Mirror TV sell for thousands
Now I have to get busy and finish off the fireplace and wall. Any ideas?

A new Spreety video gives tips on how to use closed captioning with TV shows online.

The entertainment world is moving to the next generation of closed captioning technology with online TV, as a new Spreety.com video demonstrates.

For example, ABC.com has the ability to customize white on black vs. black on white text. FOX.com does a good job of moving captions to the top or the bottom of the screen, based on the most appropriate place for the text to be displayed.

PBS and PBS Kids have most of their shows online with closed caption support.

NBC.com leaves something to be desired, as the support is spotty per episode, and the text is sometimes out of synch with the video.  Thankfully, the NBC shows can also be watched on Hulu with closed captions, sometimes in languages other than English. Hulu further innovates with a caption search feature that hot links to the matching video clip.

The lines between closed captions and subtitles are further blurred by YouTube. With any YouTube video, Speech to Text technology can be used to generate same language captions. Then, through translation software, the captions can be rendered in many languages.

So, Spreety TV Online tried it out YouTube’s new features with the recent “Nickelodeon TV Online 2010” video, and realized a few glitches. The spoken words of “Spreety.com” were transcribed as “breeding duck on”. “Avatar the Last Airbender” came out as “Avatar the last year vendor”. Not to be obvious, but “Degrassi” was just “grassy”. Thankfully, the generated speech to text captions can be easily loaded in to a word processor, such as Microsoft’s Word, edited, and then reloaded in a matter of minutes.

“If people just knew how much TV is online, there would be mass abandonment of the old TV”, according to Spreety co-founder Ron Laughton. “We created Spreety to educate people about the legal places to watch free TV online.”

There is a lot of music online. Here are the right places to go.

Online music has come a long ways since the infamous file sharing days. Today, there are so many legal places to listen to music online; there is no need for the alternatives. So, Spreety.com put together a video about the right places to listen to music online, including radio stations and music videos.

Among the top picks, AOL Radio hosts thousands of radio stations categorized by genre. The genres include Blues, Classic, Christian Rock, Jazz, R&B, Country, and more. In addition to the genres, many local stations are online, such as, for Los Angeles, the popular K-EARTH 101 and KNX 1070.

AOL’s Spinner has full CD parties, where a variety of top CD’s can be selected and played online. Individual tracks as well as the entire CD can be played on demand.

For music videos, several of the TV stations have their music videos online. As examples, BET (Black Entertainment Television), CMT (Country Music Television), GAC (Great America Country), MTV, VH1, and VH1 Classic all host an extensive library of top performers online.

Possibly, the most unique of the online music players is Pandora Radio. Pandora is completely customizable, and is based on the ten year old Music Genome Project. The Music Genome Project classifies every song based on what each individual song sounds like. By typing in a few preferences, Pandora is able to play many more songs of a similar nature. If a song plays that one does not like, a simple thumbs-down will remove it and songs similar to it. Pandora has taken customization to a whole new level.

Lastly, Yahoo! Kids hosts thousands of music videos that are perfectly appropriate for the little ones.

One can definitely state that not always do the means justify the end. Creating an awareness among children to a more careful lifestyle toward energy saving is certainly a noble objective, but why do this by frightening them to the point to create nightmares for them?

The question reached the British Parliament. Thousands of parents of British children are protesting for a commercial commissioned by a government agency and aired on national TV for the past ten days. This news reached also the attention of the foreign press, reported by “Notizie tra le linee”, the magazine of one of the major Italian energy operators.

The video – which can also be viewed on Youtube and in the website www.decc.gov.uk named Act on Co2 bedtime stories tv – shows an attentive father reading a bedtime story to his sweet little 2 year-old daughter. The musical background is very gentle, creating a peaceful atmosphere of sweet dreams. The father begins reading and turning the pages of the story illustrated with cartoons. The blue-eyed, blond-haired child listens attentively, but her dreamy expression is soon transformed: from a peaceful look, she becomes frightened. Her father is showing her little bunny rabbits that are crying and drowning owing to the rise in the ocean levels, skies with menacing black clouds shaped like monsters ready to eat houses.

With the incommensurable trust typical of all children, the child asks her father: “Will there be a happy ending?” As the cameras “leave” the child’s bedroom, the reply is given by a woman’s voice off-screen: “It depends on our actions”.

Both parents and psychologists believe this is too strong: having small children carry such a heavy burden is harmful to their balanced growth and development. The government included this commercial within a six million pound campaign launched by the Minister of Energy and Climate Change and is now receiving an increasing number of requests to immediately withdraw it from the shocking television campaign.
