This Man Is Extremely Dedicated To Live Network Television
This intriguing dude is watching a black-and-white TV, with a DTV converter box, in a Starbucks. Hey, it’s not his fault Hulu doesn’t carry Jeopardy!, right? [Kansas City Blog via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Hmm too much cash spent on drinking and not enough on a portable COLOR tv??

No less than a half dozen times did my grandma have me explain to her why she couldn't use a converter on her old portable 4" clock/radio/TV with only a single rabbit ear.
@LEWD98: Porn from '79.
In his defense, he could be a blogger or something, and need live television for his job. Or he could just be a weirdo, who knows.

When I was a kid, I remember some friends of ours had a portable b&w tv that they took on road trips. Sooo jealous.

Wow! This dude is seriously high tech.
That there is a stubborn man.
@350z-racer: Very nicely done.
Probably rips all of his CD's to cassette too.
Probably using his peripherals on that full-color chick to his right. Seriously, I bet that TV gets him a lot of ass.

@OddManOut: When Sean Connery is giving Alex Trebeck shit, oh yeah they do. (I do understand that was a SNL skit and not real Jeopardy)
