TV celebs wielding big sabers

Do they cook? Not sure. Are they Jedi Knights? Errrrr, maybe? So what's the deal with Celebrity Jedi Chefs? We wish we knew. In their own words, they're [mostly] TV actors who "do the same sorts of things that 'normal' Jedi do, but [they] also cook." There are 216 of them, and most have appeared on buzzy sci-fi shows, including Heroes, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Battlestar Galactica. We're not talking background players, either. Yeah, we're still stuck trying to figure out what Celebrity Jedi Chefs...is exactly (and if the pictures, as suggested by the fashion, were all magically taken in 1993), but we needn't hear any more if it means we get to see pictures of Joan Holloway (among others, after the jump) weilding a saber.
Vista View releases HDTV/analog TV tuner

If you're in the market for a combo NTSC/ATSC PCI TV tuner, you might want to check out Vista View's Saber DA-1IN1-I. That's a lot of abbreviations. Here's what they mean.This card fits in your desktop, records high definition television from over the air (antenna) sources or your standard analog cable/antenna signals.
The DA-1IN1-I has two separate tuners, meaning you can record 1 analog and 1 digital program at the same time, or record one show while watching another. It supports HDTV resolutions up to and including 1080p, and supports hardware encoding for analog video.
It should work with any modern PC running Windows XP or Vista, although I wouldn't be surprised if it worked with Linux as well.
$99 gets you the PCI card, an audio cable, an S-Video to composite adapter, and the usual instructions and driver CDs. No antenna or remote control included.
