Apple TV

Interesting idea by Apple. I like the concept though, download a movie and put it on your iPod...but what if you could just put it on your flat screen tv instead? This would make my movie watching experience all the better...nothing like watching a move gained by questionable methods on a big tv with hi-def capabilities. What makes it even better is the fact the Apple TV uses your wireless network to get the content. Bravo Apple. We adore convenience here in the tech world and you are on the right track. Oh...and it didn't take long for people to hack it either. Read up on the tv itself here and the website for hacking your Apple TV is here.

All is Well

I am going to work on the podcast myself since Steve and my schedule's make it nearly impossible for us to meet up at my house to record it. I may just have to figure out a decent way of phoning it in, if only my computer was able to run two instances of Skype at once. Ah well.

Let's see...news, oh yes. I heard about this interesting game disc that has it's own operating system, a linux distro for those of you who are curious. It sounds interesting for the fact is that it is trying to be an open platform gaming console for your computer. Apparently it was designed at a Nintendo conference. The system is called Gamix and here is a link to the website so you can request your own copy of the disc.

Other news, well, none off of the top of my head. I do recommend that you go and listen to some of the podcasts done by IGN. They are pretty interesting really. I have my PSP with a gigabyte stick in it set to download each new episode at six in the morning so that I have some form of entertainment during school.

Hmm...anything else. Well I think I have put quite a bit of stuff into this for almost one in the morning. Just think, I have a school day then a five hour work shift to do after all of this. Heh, lucky me and my poor judgement. Nah, it was worth staying up to play some video games and throw a quick post up. See you around on the net.

Delay

The podcast has been delayed due to illness (Steve) and some school competitions springing up. Now, I still plan on doing the podcast but I am waiting for Steve and myself to get a little free time in order to do so. Hopefully we will have time this Saturday or so. No promises are being made. I may be able to do crappy sounding podcast recordings on the go with my new toy. I have a Zire 72s PDA that has a built in microphone. The ironic part about this, I found it laying around on the ground. Not a bad find really. I have loaded games onto it and it looks like I can record around half an hour of audio with the small bit of memory left on it. The thing only has twenty-five megabytes of built in memory, but hey...I picked it up for free and it has support for SD, MMC, and I think one or two other types of cards. Not a bad find at all.
