Just picked up this new monitor from Dell.  21.5″ widescreen, 1920X1080, DVI, VGA .  Works great, definately a bit more screen real estate. [Dell]

Ahhh Microsoft Codename “Fiji”.  You have been most awaited, most revered, and lately a most unwarranted pain in the ass.  What are you anyway?  No one really knows.  “Fiji” was supposed to be this rather large update of Windows Media Center before the launch of Windows 7. 

However, the latest release “Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008″ does not appear to be “Fiji”.  I could be totally wrong.  The TV Pack seems to be some behind closed doors commercial update.  “Fiji” was about UI updates, extenders, and special new features; certainly not just QAM, HD recording, and teletext.

“Fiji” show yourself and show us what we’ve waited for.

Dear Microsoft,

Why is the Playstation Store live and online already.  XBOX Live is bigger and better, but ours isn’t online yet with any new features.

In the hunt for cheap HDMI cables? I have just the place. monoprice.com Yes, you can go there now, I’ll wait.  Okay, so you are installing, moving, redoing, your home theater setup.  Order earlier and order a lot.

These are high quality great price cables. I’ve been using them as stocking stuffers, seriously. You will not find anything better. Everyone at avsforum.com raves about these cables.

Two awesome tracks I love right now, Michael Cassette – Winter [YouTube] [Zune] and Oceanlab – Miracle (Michael Cassette Remix) [YouTube] [Zune].
