You might not have noticed that numbers used to mean something. I mean you wouldn't say two is the same as one, would you? Hint: You might not want to answer this right away.

Somewhere out there, you might not have noticed that audio exists. This is especially true if you are a producer, director, member of the lighting persuasion, or camera op.

What I really want to rant about this month is good old high definition. The problem is defining definition and figuring out how high is high -- that and some other stuff.

You might not have noticed that sometimes a purchase has more than you wanted.

You might not have noticed that it's been seven-and-a-half years since the U.S. digital television rules came out. Here are some of the reasons why you might not have noticed:

You might not have noticed that not everything that everyone agrees on is correct.

You might not have noticed that a meal of a cheeseburger, fries and a milkshake with a Cheerio is about as heart-healthy as one without. Yes, I'm making a plea here for everyone to shoot HDTV.

You might not have noticed that HDTV has higher definition than standard-definition television. I am not making this up.

You might not have noticed that people watch television. You might also not have noticed that people tend not to throw money away.

You might not have noticed that you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. First, however, I'd like to submit a little note about the style of this month's offering.

You might not have noticed that, as they said in the movie "Delicatessen," no one is entirely evil. Conversely, unfortunately, no one is entirely good. For instance, take Bill Clinton.

You might not have noticed that HDTV is inevitable. Too bad we don't know where Evitable is.
