  1. FWIW: Xbox Internets

    I'm posting this from the new web browser on the Xbox 360. It is actually an additional challenge to do so, but I'd expect no less from Internet Explorer.

    Remarkably, using the SmartGlass app as a controller and keyboard on the other hand, works rather well, and I'm warming up to the idea of having a device (a phone I suppose) that can control various devices in the home. It can run the music off my computer already, and control (most) things on the Xbox. A few other lights and home ...

  2. Updated Games Owned list

    I realized it had been a while since I updated my list of all the games I owned (for personal and insurance reasons - in addition to photos, the agents like to have a list of titles for my renter's insurance. God forbid something happens, I can at least have an accurate record of what needs replacing), so for the last day or so I've been doing just that. Alphabetizing my games, adding new games I've purchase, removing the 1 or 2 that were either traded, gave away or lost. Still not completely done ...

  3. Somebody put me out, I am on FIRE!!

    Yeah - so after a couple months of hinting, begging, pleading and basically throwing things, my lovely wife broke down and bought me a Kindle Fire for Christmas. After 15 or so years of getting so-so gifts (and not minding really) - she finally bought me something that I wanted. Every year I heard the same excuses: "I have no idea what to get for you." or "I'm just not good at getting gifts!"

  5. "The List"

    A recent thread of discussion that spawned off Maverick's loss of his latest 360 has caused me to sit down and do a proper list of all my games (similar to what I have done with my DVD-Bluray movies for Renters Insurance). Well after an afternoon of alphabetizing and typing I've got the list roughly finished. Of course at this time the list only covers my 360, PS3 and DS games - I'm taking a breather before getting into my Wii and PSP games and possibly tackling my older games catalog.
