My my what a nice Slingbox you have

SLINGBOX
Sounds so dirty to me, like donkey punch or screaming eagle. Truth of the matter is that if you have not gotten one of these you should be donkey punching yourself.

What, what, what, watch live TV and your favorite recorded shows from your laptop, office computer, or cell phone? If you are one of those sports nuts that has all of the sports packages on your Dish TV the Slingbox Pro is a must. It supports HDTV and allows one to remote access their TiVo, DishTV, or cable DVR and watch recorded shows or make changes to scheduled recordings. As I was saying, the ability to watch my NFL package without having to be in my den has opened a whole new world.

Video IPOD Rip

Recently got the revised 80GB IPOD, it is fricken sweet. Finally got all my music in one spot. I remember how excited I was back in day when I bought the first ever 100 disc CD player. The IPOD is better.

However, as a Microsoft Windows user there is no apple software to rip my DVDs to the pod (really sucks). I have read about something called Handbrake that does exactly this task for Mac users. Not sure if it’s any good, any body got feedback about this free program? They are supposedly making a version for Windows users but this seems like a major oversight.

Regardless, the IPOD is awesome. Definately recommend it to everyone.

It's not TV. It's ShitBO

Some of you have heard of Big Love and the Sopranos, well if you were watching last night you saw that HBO did not air new episodes as promised, instead they showed Big Stink, and Crapranos.

Big Stink had a lot of potential, however was able to deliver on the name. A season finally that was all of 46 minutes and knowing the M.O. on HBO I am sure it will be 18 plus months before we ever see another ep.

Crapranos followed a similar path. They had a somewhat uneventful episode as usual, followed by the big announcement that the season is not over. They will take 6 month break before they film the final 8 episodes. It must take them about a week to film 8 episodes, but HBO wants to make they piss off every fan of the show so that they do not have to film any more seasons. I guess everyone got too rich and from the show and making millions for 16 hours of filming a year is just too hard.

so stay tuned the next ep. of Crapranos will be out in 6 months.

Draft Day Special

Revenge is a dish best served in Hi-Def!

Here is where the high definition really pays for itself. I could see the tears in Leinarts eyes as he slipped to 10th overall. This stupid MoFo could have been the #1 graft pick last year (way overrated), and instead he stayed in school to win the national championship. Nope, USC lost the national championship which they should not have been in anyway. Their conference is so shitty any half way decent team can go undefeated.

Anyway, let us recap last year….

Preseason – USC Overrated
All Season long – USC beats bottom of the barrel teams (USC still overrated)
National Championship – USC blown out

And the kicker is that Leinart goes 10th. It reportedly cost him around 10 million in bonuses.

Now the pros say he has a baby arm. This is so sweet. And this moment was even sweeter in Hi-def.

Dellerella

Mirror, Mirror on the wall where can I find the cheapest computer of them all?

Search Dell.com to find your match

(Please stop me if you have heard this one)

I searched long and far for the best computer to buy. From the hills of HP to the Apple valley, and as far as the Sony shores would take me, all along it was hidden the under my eyes. Dell is the cheapest of them all, how can their prices be so much less?

I customized my piece and when all was said and done the damage totaled $3000.

The Prince was happy and all was great, until the 1 yr anniversary of when the Dell the purchased. 1 day after the warranty was up the CPU crashed and all the kings the people with all the White Guis could not get the Dell to work properly again.

The princess beautiful Dell had turned back into a pumpkin. So it was back to the HP hills and Apple valley to find a real computer not a piece of shit Dell!!

XP Media Center

So XP Home is for typical home computer or home office solution, XP Professional is for the corporate world, where does Media Center fit?

I use my home computer for pictures and music and I want to figure out this Web TV.

Windows Media Center is the answer. It is a platform designed for intensive media applications. Run your LCD or Plasma TV through it along the cable box and now you can record all of your favorite movies and shows directly to your hard drive.

Even put home surveillance camera in and record directly to the PC. It is possible to use Media Center in your office or store for CCTV as part of your retail security system. XP Professional may be easier to remote access but Media Center is easier to use.

HD Monkey

Cant ya see
Cant ya see

What this hi-definition is doin to me

HD is taking the world by storm! Some of you may remember the first time you ever logged onto the internet on a high speed connection . . . I had it installed in my house the next day.

But you know what they say; once you go HD you never go back. TRUE

Hi-def is the high speed of 2006.
