A New Year and a New Winter Classic

Thu, 2009-01-01 16:05
Well, the (insert expletive here) Detroit Red Wings just beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-4 in the 2009 NHL Winter Classic. While there was definitely more scoring than last year's version in Buffalo, I was honestly bored watching it. I guess there's a lot to be said for seeing your team in the event. After the first period, which I did enjoy watching, I found myself fast forwarding my TiVo sinceAaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0

My TiVo SDV "Dongle"

Thu, 2009-01-01 15:58
As much as I loved the TiVo HD I received as a Christmas gift last year, one of the biggest issues I had was the inability to watch switched digital video (SDV) channels that Time Warner was converting most of its HD channels to. Luckily, TiVo stepped in to co-develop an adapter with the NCTA to allow TiVo units to work with SDV. While promised in the second quarter of 2008, I knew they'd be Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0

Netflix on TiVo

Thu, 2008-12-11 21:50
In addition to having a new TiVo Mobile app on my iPhone to play with, I also have the ability to stream my Netflix Instant Queue to my TiVo. While this capability has been available on the Xbox 360 for a few weeks now through the NXE, I have to say that I think the TiVo implementation is much better. For one, I don't have to hear the jet engines inside that 360 waffle maker when I want to Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0

Some New iPhone Apps

Thu, 2008-12-11 21:41
I feel like I'm constantly re-arranging the layout of the apps on my iPhone. My second home screen seems to hold the apps that I use most of the time, because for some reason, I always want to leave the native Apple-provided apps on the first screen. I guess it's a throwback to the original days of the iPhone when those were the only apps I had. Regardless, I have a few new apps that I think Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0

Wide Right, Redux

Tue, 2008-11-18 07:26
Are you kidding me? How many times does this city need its heart broken? Well, I guess it's time to start watching the Sabres, because the Bills are done.  (Although the Sabres aren't playing very well either, so maybe I'll just give up for a while altogether.) After starting 4-0, they've now lost 5 of 6 and are going to miss the playoffs.....wait for it.....again.  So much for Dante's Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0

That, My Friend, Is The Sound Of Inevitability

Sat, 2008-11-01 09:14
After almost 3 years going strong, my 360 bit the big one this morning about a quarter of the way through a rally race in Dirt. Ugh. I'm actually surprised it lasted this long, seeing as all of my friends have already lost a box to the cursed Red Ring of Death. That, and there's the fact that my original Xbox was one of the first to go, leading to the annoying reboots during Halo 2 matches Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com1

UFOs Over Texas

Sat, 2008-10-25 20:36
While watching a video article on CNN.com about UFOs that were spotted over Texas this week, I came across this bit and had to snap a screenshot. Good grief, is that an original Bondi blue iMac? From 10 years ago? I thought people only used those for fish tanks these days! Maybe the UFOs were air shipments of new iMacs from Apple...Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0

Here We Go Again

Tue, 2008-10-07 15:09
What a difference a year makes. Last summer, it was shear agony being a Sabres fan, as we watched you-know-who depart. This year, there is a little bit more hope, knowing that the team now has a bunch of core players locked up for the long term. I kind of like knowing the trio shown here will be around for the next five years. Oh, and we have a pretty decent goalie too.

Seattle and Vancouver Pictures Now Available

Fri, 2008-10-03 09:29
I posted a whole mess of new pictures from our trip out west to my SmugMug gallery. Most of the miscellaneous Seattle and Vancouver pictures (including those from our whale watching trip) can be found in the General archive. There are also two straggler albums from Olympic National Park. The first album contains a mix of color and black and white while the second was taken using an infrared Aaron Reichmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06867003164319105605noreply@blogger.com0
