Hello internets just thought id stop by and check in how goes it? Been a while it seems, might post more when wordpress 2.7 comes out well see.Update so yea im on 2.7 now and decided to change teh theme as well do you like? I like it seems to load alot faster as its all CSS and no images. Simple fast and clean.

Been getting some sweet deals lately. Amazon had 100$ off of linksys v2 extenders and I jumped right on it as Ive always wanted to bring the media center experience and all of my media to the bedroom tv. I decided to go with the DMA2100 as I didnt need a dvd drive. Its a small device and for the most part silent which is needed for the bedroom. I have it hooked up via ethernet and streaming live and recorded tv both HD and SD is almost perfect except at some times I notice some mpeg noise from time to time on the HD streams. Watching my movie collection is also nice most of my collection is encoded with xvid which is supported but the few that are divx do not work which I heard linksys was working on. Now most of my movies have external subtitle files so the media center is not able to read them which is a bummer. Be a nice feature to have but I didnt expect it as I had to install 3rd party apps to get it to work on the main MCE machine. Audio is great as well I can stream my mp3 collection into the room so when im cleaning or need to queue up some chill music to nap to I can do so. On top of that my harmony 550 remote controls everything in the apartment now including the extender and TV in the room. One remote to rule them all and in the darkness bind them. Anyhow im starting to feel as if my one bedroom apartment is getting a lil too connected….

Ira and I recently moved right smack in the middle of the short north. We can now step out of the front door right onto high st. Food, bars, shops and gallery hop funs are right at my fingertips. There is an art gallery and a wine cellar directly below me which is pretty sweet. We have a private parking spot that we have to divy up but thus far parking hasnt been a problem. Alot of other bots have recently moved into the vicinity and eventually will change combine into a giant robot. People call me up to go snag some jenis every other day and I cant complain one bit. I cant wait for the warmer weather to come life will be so awesome! Look out columbus Bots are on the rise.

Jeebus H chwist on a skewer there are too many games either out already or coming out soon that I need! Been playing Halo 3 and assassins creed quite often and want to get Mario Galaxy asap and potentially Mass effect, COD4 and UT2007 for PC.I also need the new katamari game along with metroid. Not to mention that I own eternal sonata and have an R4 card chock full of the latest DS games that are gathering dust.I need to quit my job and just play games all day to keep up. For now I have stopped cleaning the apt and socializing with bots to gain more game time. Atleast ive come to the realization that I dont much like playing rythm based games so much as I like watching other people play them. Saves me money as I wont have to buy rockband or guitar hero III woot.

Recently purchased a new Samsung LNT4065F which replaces my old school Samsung RPTV and brings me into the 1080p world. I have a vista media center hooked up to it via HDMI and have been downloading and watching alot of HD content and it looks hella swank, quality is not exactly lossless 1080p (bluray,HDDVD) content but the quality difference is barely noticeable to the human eye. I have not yet succombed to the next generation DVD wars simply because to me its a moot point as downloadable content is the wildcard winner in this format war.Download speed and Storage space will continue to grow and with the help of some compression codecs and the advent of bittorrent, HD content is starting to become a more viable option for us intertube nerds. Its already at a point where you can download near DVD quality movies within an hours time the thought of being able to do so with HD content makes me giddy like a school girl. Most of the HD stuffs out there are in 720p format but still manage to fit on a standard DVD which takes advantage of an affordable pre existing infrastructure that is near and dear to everyone. So for those of you that have already started to pump money into upgrading your DVD collection your wasting  your money! I <3 my new TV
