If I am trying to get the same feed from the same output source (a Blu-Ray player) to two separate televisions, enabling them both to be on and displaying the same content at the same time, both utilizing HDMI cables, is there any particular splitter/goo-gidget-doo that you would recommend over another?

Because Newegg is making my head hurt.

Yeah, I’m just stealing The Baltimore Sun‘s headline for this:

A longtime tribute to Edgar Allan Poe may have come to an end with the absence of the “Poe Toaster,” who for more than half a century has marked the poet’s birthday by laying roses and a bottle of cognac at his original grave site.

This is the first time since Jan. 19, 1949 that the person, whose identity is unknown, failed to arrive, said Jeff Jerome, curator of the Edgar Allan Poe House.

“I was very annoyed,” he said.

“I’ve been doing this since 1977, and there was no indication he wasn’t going to show up,” Jerome said.

Boy, good thing Jeff Jerome doesn’t have a sense of entitlement or anything.

I mean, y’know, not the Starship Enterprise … but the space shuttle Enterprise.

Which is apparently for sale.

The shuttles are for sale once they quit flying, supposedly this fall.

When NASA put out the call to museums, schools and others in December 2008, seeking buyers, about 20 expressed interest. NASA spokesman Mike Curie expects more interest, what with the discount.

Discovery is already promised to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum. Atlantis and Endeavour are up for grabs. It’s possible that Enterprise, a shuttle prototype that never made it to space, also will be available. Enterprise currently is at the Smithsonian.

Of course, being the Enterprise and all, the first thing I’d have to do is bolt this to the deck.
