For the past couple weeks I've been reviewing
Open Air Cinema's OAC True HD CineBox Home, which provides everything you need for a killer backyard theater: a Blu-ray player, a high-definition projector, a big, inflatable screen, and powerful speakers.
It's an awesome setup--but also mighty expensive: the kit costs a staggering $5,499. Fortunately, it's possible to cobble together your own outdoor theater for considerably less.

Shop Smarter
The way we watch movies has drastically changed over the last decade or so. Old giants like
Blockbuster and
Hollywood Video have been closing down left and right with services like
Netflix and
Redbox changing how we watch movies at home. There is no reason, however, to think that this is the end of how we will be getting our movies delivered.

Stuff We Like
As a general rule, electronics and mud don't mix. So it was with great trepidation that I dragged a
Kodak Playsport pocket camcorder through an actual mud pit during a race called the
Warrior Dash.
Mind you, I don't mean the camera got splashed with a little dirt. I mean it got submerged in muck while I crawled on my hands and knees through about 30 feet of it.
I'm happy to report I survived the race--and so did the Playsport.

Looking for a killer Father's Day gift? I'm a big fan of Roku's set-top boxes, which stream Internet programming from sources like Amazon Video on Demand, MLB.com (that's Major League Baseball for you non-sports fans), Pandora and Netflix.

Blu-ray has been the de facto high-definition movie standard for over two years now, but surprisingly few people have pulled the trigger on a player. Know why? The players are expensive, the movies cost more than their DVD counterparts, and the benefits of Blu-ray not exactly obvious.
