I updated the gallery. It now shows all my pictures from Picasa so you don’t have to go to Picasa and leave the site just to view the pics. Yay.

I got an apple TV for my birthday this year. Whats an apple TV? its a neat little device that allows you to watch your movies, listen to your music, and look at your photos right on your TV. There are plenty of other hardware applications that have this ability. The Microsoft Xbox 360 has many of the same features; however, few of these items can match the clean simplicity and design of the Apple TV. It all started for us when Noah decided that the CD Rack was something he could not ignore and began opening the CD cases and throwing the DVD’s around like frisbees. I started ripping the movies to my HD to watch them on the computer or via our xbox 360. HD space is something that has gotten so cheap, that I wasn’t concerned with how much space each movie would take. Coincidentally each movie is roughly 1 GB large.

The people at Apple know what they are doing when they suck you in to buy their products. It starts from their cutsie little advertisements.. “Hi.

Nicole called me exasperatingly, with the dreaded words no “techie” wants to hear “Our computer doesn’t work.” My usual replies of “Well, did you try this” or “Are you sure you did that?” got knocked down each time. Frustrated at not being able to help her, and mildly annoyed that I couldn’t fix what I thought was a minor problem over the phone, I hung up the phone dejected. The next morning I tore apart the box and found 1 thing after another broken, or on the verge of breaking. The dollar signs began floating through my head, right next to the annoying jingle that sounded out “Upgrade Time.” And then, like a voice from above, that silly Apple commercial popped on TV.
