Linky. From what I’ve play with so far, it seems to be a pretty sweet little machine. Music and phots stream fine over wifi, as does non DVD MPEGs (still yet to test that one). Adding in a neat little add on media server called Tversity, and I can stream Online music and TV. Very cool stuff.Also, I’ve officially changed my sport following gears the past month. While the Bills have gone into the tank, the Sabres are playing the best hockey I’ve seen since they made their Stanley Cup run. Biron just recorded his 12th straight win, the team’s only lost one game of their last 16 (and that was in a shoot-out, so they still got a point). Just a great team to watch, they roll four aggressive, skilled offensive lines, and they’ve overcome big injuries (to their #1 goalie, and two big scorers). The only hurdle left is Ottawa, who has been the best team far and away in the entire league. The money I spent on NHL Center Ice instead of Sunday Ticket is really paying off :).

Because, there is good in him. I’ve felt it.
So tonight I made my first iTunes purchase (Mike Doughty’s Gambler EP). My first ever legit music download, I even had limewire open at the same time (downloading John Mayer, screw him), but I couldn’t justify ganking a $6 Ep from my favorite artist. So yeah, I’m getting old and responsible.
So as Dan has bitched about in his cold, snow covered portion of the Interweb in upstate new york, I really dig mash ups (those wacky song remixes, where oasis and green day work together, then fade to the Jackson 5 and the Rocky theme, crazy stuff). Well i think I just watched the first ever mash up movie, Just Friends. It’s like Garden State vs. America’s Funniest Videos vs. Something about Mary, and it just works. Sure its all gags about getting punched in the balls and lighting shit on fire, but it works (the brothers just slapping the fuck out of each other was great). People got tasered, Anna Ferris plays a crazy Britney spears, i laughed hard, what can i say. Plus they kept making fun of Boys too men, leading to this memorable exchange:
Me: I squarely blame you for this song (I swear) becoming popular.
Lauren: Screw you, I hated this song.
Don: Hey, millions of teenage girls like you made this popular 10 years ago, thats like saying you lived in Germany in the 40s, but you weren’t a Nazi, everyone’s gonna blame you anyway.
Lauren: Smack
That’s right, I godwinned lauren.
