Black Friday brings big TV!
waiting in line to buy my new 60″. doing my part to keep the economy going. A wonderful follow up to a tryptophantastic thanksgiving. i got lots of little things free (after rebate) and some much needed junk. All around a great holiday. after this home and then nap.
Update
An unbelievable amount of beurocracy went into this purchase. Wow. The first problem was cashier i got was still in training. They couldn’t delete the warranty or an extra hdmi cable from my bill. I eventually had to return my imaginary cable and then go back to the cashier to get my cash. Including the checkout line, the whole process took nearly two hours.
Feeling much better after my nap. Watching Sorsorer’s Stone on the new TV. Fits and looks perfect in my living room. Reflection was my primary concern, but that proved to be nothing at all to worry about.
x-mas comes early thanks to update
Apple’s iOS 4.2 update comes with little announcement or fanfare. On the heels of this, they are expected to stop signing 4.1 blobs very shortly (if not already). The untethered jailbreak for 4.2 will most likely require a signed 4.1 blob. Because of this, more then anything, i’ve done a bit of my holiday shopping early. picking anything that will want to be untethered and awesome in time for the holidays. so if you are tired of hearing it form me, for the sake of pete, back up your blobs!
Boxee is here!
It finally arrived today and i quickly set it up. i left it scanning my massive media library, however i did note one glaring omission. presently netflix is excluded from boxee’s list of apps. will this be corrected or has M$’s DRM killed netflix for the Linux based Boxee? only time will tell. apart from that, it is totally awesome from remote control to interface and even startup effects. i cannot wait to see what 3rd party developers do with it.
Expertise pays off!
completed my first testimony as an expert witness. court can be fun when it’s not your ass on the line.
