I have been debating whether I should mention this or not, but I started another blog. It’s not replacing this one. it’s just a little side blog that I am doing with a friend I met online. It is more personal though. So personal that I am posting anonymously, and I am not going to link to it. If I know you well enough I might give you the link.

I bet I watched this 50 times and laughed my ass off. it’s short and sweet, but funny as hell…or maybe it’s just me.

Last night I watched Hostel. I don’t know why it got such bad reviews. I thought it was pretty good; gory, but good. I really enjoy horror movies. I guess you would classify this one as a horror because of the gore. It’s not really scary though. It is pretty creepy though. I felt pretty creeped out after the movie, but that is the point of it. If I listened to reviews I would miss a lot of good moves and end up watching a bunch of crappy ones.

When I was in Florida last month on of the places we went to was MGM Studios, one of the many Disney theme parks. While we were there we went on the Tower of Terror. Someone created a virtual Tower of Terror in Half-Life 2. Being that I was just there a month ago, I can tell you that is it very realistic. Link (via Boing Boing)

You just gotta love that North Dakota weather. Is it really April?

Ok I admit it, I like Alanis Morissette, but her cover of My Humps sucks. It’s not her fault though. That song sucks.

If I would have heard this yesterday there is no way I would have believed it. it looks like EMI is going to be the first major record label to release their stuff DRM free. That’s awesome. That means I might actually be able to buy stuff on iTunes (I refuse to buy anything with DRM in it). I don’t listen to many major label bands, and I am not sure how many bands EMI has that I like, but hopefully the rest of the labels wake up and realize that DRM is hurting sales.

I hate blog posts that basically say that someone has nothing to blog about, but that’s what this one is. My blog has been kinda slow, but it’s not because I have been busy. Actually I am far from busy. I am totally caught up on all my stuff for the first time in a long time. Google Reader is empty, Tivo is empty, podcasts are all listened to. I haven’t been busy outside either. Even though all our snow is gone, it’s been raining for three straight days. Maybe Twitter is taking away some of my blogging mojo? I don’t know. So….what was this blog post about again? Oh yeah, NOTHING! I am still here, doing the same old boring stuff.

So I tried streaming Orb to the Xbox 360. It works, but it crashed a lot. Streaming video sucks. It has always sucked. You either get a ton of buffering or you get crap video like YouTube. I think I am going to look into building a PC just for watching videos on the TV. I don’t want a full blown media center PC because they don’t work perfect with DirecTV. My DirecTV Tivo works perfect for TV. I want something similar to the AppleTV, but I want it to support all video file formats. I don’t want to do any streaming. I just want to drop my video files onto it to watch them in the living room.
