The AM21 is available for users that have the HR21.  The AM21 is a OTA HD tuner.  DirecTV didn’t add antenna hookup to the HR21 so people that couldn’t get local HD were stuck with SD.  I am one of those people that lost local HD by switching to DirecTV.  I have added the AM21 [...]

I wanted to share something that I thought was pretty cool that happened this afternoon.  My girlfriend and I were headed up to eat when I started singing a song.  It wasn’t on the radio, it was just one of those that pop into your head.  So we figured out what song it was and [...]

On August 31st 2008 PlaysForSure servers will be shut down. What that means to you if you have PlaysForSure music is it won’t play, that’s for sure. Microsoft wanted to give people that bought music through MSN plenty of time to search for alternatives. I guess the music will play if you [...]

I posted the 3 videos at youtube. This is of the live video I did on ustream. I updated the previous post but not everyone goes back to that, so I wanted to make sure that if people did want to see it they have the opportunity too. Youtube only allows [...]

Rivet allows you to stream music and videos to your Xbox 360 from a Mac. The nice thing about the program is it allows you to organize the files on the Mac. Connect 360 can stream but it displays all the music and videos in one list. There is a demo [...]
