Ken,
Just read your most recent post on Display Daily . I just wanted to thank you for the belly laugh…... I talked to Chris Chinnock briefly at SID to pay you guys a compliment, and I'll pass it on to you. The quality of this blog is sincerely appreciated. The depth of reporting is great. More impressive and refreshing, however is the quality of writing and thoughtfulness of the articles. I've not come across anything comparable. Keep up the good work.

Chris,
I wanted to take the time to personally thank you and congratulate you on a job well done in your last 2 articles posted -- the one on Taiwan 3D participation, and the other showing the present deployment of 3D theater screens worldwide, and the associated technology behind them. Both were extremely useful in business discussions that I have had in the past 2 weeks. Thank you again, and keep up the good work.

Sony Prepares to Enter the Third Dimension
By Art Berman
